If you enjoy poetry please have a look at Fumblewinter, a website for some poetry I wrote while traveling many moons ago.

An interview with John about my work,

one that really humbles me because it goes deep into the relevant features.

I can only thank him for this kind of attention and sensibility.

Letterforms - d/A
#synthart #synthography #art #aiart #abstractart #asemic
The composition includes two prominent letterforms: a stylized "d" on the left and an angular "A" on the right. The "d" features a rounded body and a flat bottom, while the "A" has a diagonal stroke that connects to a horizontal crossbar. The background showcases a blend of muted beige and gray tones, with various ink splatters and soft shadows providing depth and texture, enhancing the contemporary artistic presentation. The overall layout is vertical, emphasizing the height of the letterforms.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
