This is paint monkey, my mascot. He looks angry all the time because he is. Got issues, you know. Issues.

The weather here has been so rubbish, nearly blew my beanie off yesterday 😑 Makes what to wear a crapshoot, but Im not looking forward to the heat exactly either. These monster trees in civic would be just the ticket for a backyard, I've got a balcony garden, 🏡,not exactly homesteading🫠

Been taking an extended ADHD break from painting, as in, well just haven't. Busy 🫠bit of inspiration, some of the great pics ive taken over a few years, so cool to just be able to do that with a phone so easily.
Remember the 90's? When the first digital cameras were shit?

Scored some free jade plants, awesome!! Only thing I've been able to grow reliably is another crsssula ive got. And scored some dirt cheap stencil brushes, never used them. But I'm hoping to solve an issue with dabbing coverage . All very technical and painty you know. 🤨

Up at 3.30am, been a regular thing for a while now. No idea how that happened, but it actually works ok for me! Decaf, sit in my comfy chair, ponder stuff, consider going back to bed, to up my passion meds, which admittedly may be why I'm getting up mostly. Still plenty of rest of seems.

On ICE's first reported death/murder/manslaughter, if true.
3.31am Australian est time : he's not dead yet.

The thing is, they forget your supposed to make it not- obviously fake. Otherwise, you have what we see here, them claiming lawless hell in peaceful suburbs as street band and dog walkers meander in the sunshine eating ice cream cones and looking like extras from a Norman Rockwell painting. 💁 Oops.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not so sure native animal squeaky dog toys, really send the right message.

Today's flag report, yup still there. Just filthy weather early this morning, no way is very the pics I was after, which is fine, want feeling up to it anyway 🫠
So the flag pole itself is lopsided, due to me, but I'm intrigued how large sections, structural elements , vanish before my eyes 👇

Sweet, what a game, Maroons first conversion. Intense, and only going to get more intense by the looks.
Latrelle Mitchell has looked ominous already I think.

On an aspect of how authoritarianist, sadistic, fascist theocracy used its own cruelty and hate to both help install, and perpetuate itself.
Many don't join the dots, or understand what this blithe denial of both reality, and responsibilty is in aid of, as it seems counter productive at a glance.

A typical strategy of far right/fascism.
Decry government aid or assistance "of any kind" as bad, (socialism!leftists! Blah blah! Scare scare!) , push "personal
Responsibilty &hard work! " As the only good things.
Then, when no help for anything ever comes along, the increasingly crushe&desperate👇

Got out getting some pictures this morning, very foggy. Very. Looking toward civic, and some of old parliament house, was hoping for a dramatic pic of mt Ainslie appearing through the mist, but not quite.

Finished works ,2019 ish to now, hopefully, maybe in one place. And, I'll be adding my new paintings here as I go along because it's neat, and I can. Almost all my stuff is for sale, make an offer🙂 locally anyway, prints I'm willing on.

Looking at this #electricscooter , #zero10x tomorrow, throwing my iPad mini into the deal saves me some cash if it's all that. And it will be, can't see how it won't, it's basically new, so it will be very obvious if not to begin with. Exciting! Any #performancescooter riders around who can advise?

I think I might have just chosen to potentially purchase an electric scooter. Whoah. Anyone have such a fun conveyance, #electricscooter #zero10x, now would be a fine time to chime in with any tips 😊😳

Sweet, this look back thingy is actually coming in handy, and useful.
And not redundant, like my use of those two words that essentially mean the same thing 😂
Damn that can't be right, 2024- well shit I guess it is. The bridge repairs at Batemans bridge to... That little joint across the bay.
