I do think the footwear could be less basic. Maybe something like this boot from American designer Colleen Allen

@zedecksiew.bsky.social made some really cool drawings of us residents meeting with refinery management, including the door gifts - plastic water tumblers and succulent plants.
At least they didn’t give us *fire extinguishers*, like at the last meeting 🧯🧯🧯

Brian often makes me think about how Thich Nhat Hanh describes who can be relied on in society.
‘I don’t believe in the intellectuals very much’ - luv to be dragged by a zen master lol
I want to be like Brian - arguably, an intellectual who CAN be relied on, who shows up

Was introduced to buah kasai which grows everywhere in Batu Arang. The hard shell can only be opened by crushing one fruit against another! Good metaphor for solidarity in there.
Tastes like if rambutan and longan had a delicious baby

Visited the town of Batu Arang in Rawang, Selangor, where residents are fighting the development of a mega waste incinerator.
The town sits on dense coal deposits and shale rock. Beautiful lakes are actually open-cast mining ponds left behind by British colonizers

My favorite part of the cover art (by our dear friend Jun Kit) is this farting snail. In Malay, the word for snail is siput, and 'si' is a prefix used to call someone names, like si bodoh (dumbass), si pencuri (thief), etc. So si *poot* is a farter AND snail mwahahhaa

Took some photos of #CreaturesofNearKingdoms in good lighting. This book is still unfolding our destiny, carrying @zedecksiew.bsky.social and I where we need to go...

When I said I was gonna print the 50 animal linocuts from our book #CreaturesofNearKingdoms, Zedeck said he would match my freak and write a new game set in a new world, *spurred* (hehe) by each animal I was printing.
He has 9 chapters to my 2 creatures. I gotta hustle 😤
