Ride the wave! 🌊 🌋
#art #illustration #JanuArty #artyear
A photo of an artist book consisting of thick, heavily textured pages. On the first page, a devilish red character gleefully rides a wave of lava from an erupting volcano. In this second image of the artist book, two red goblins contend with a vicious wave of lava. One goblin is on a surfboard. Three red goblin characters hang ten on the violent pyroclastic flow. A stormy atmosphere is visible behind. On this final image of the artist book, a large, grinning goblin is almost entirely submerged under the magma while a palm tree gets blown to smithereens by the hot hurricane-force winds.

20 years later and this NPR article still hits,

“In my humdrum life, the daily battle hasn't been good versus evil. It's hardly so epic. Most days, my real battle is doing good versus doing nothing.”

Show for yourself, show up for others - the rest falls into place.

Always Go To The Funeral
As a child, Deirdre Sullivan learned from her father to always pay her respects at funerals. Now, this NPR listener believes those simple acts of human kindness are as important as the grand gestures.

do you run when it dips into single digits? I can't tell who's growing more stir crazy - me or my dog 😅

A layered watercolor and ink drawing on green, collaged paper. It is unfinished, and depicts a plant sprouting from a stack of flattened chairs. The paper is heavily textured. A closer image of the watercolor and ink sketch of the plant, which is fused to the stack of chairs. Sight-lines are visible from the drawing underneath.

Looks like a good triathlon doc to catch on the trainer. Anyone know where to track it down?

my hips don't lie - adding these risers to the aero bars is making them sing again. Amazing the difference that 20mm makes!

Just your average cross country course run: serene sunset shots with Otto and a sinkhole devouring everything in its path 🌅➡️😱

I think I just threw away $5 😅

Tried this “qz - qdomyos-zwift” app to use virtual shifting with #rouvy and the #zwift cog. Putzed around for 1/2 an hour before calling it quits (😵‍💫 intense UI)

Recommendation: wait for Rouvy to implement virtual shifting, erg mode in the meantime

👋 hey, I’m Alex - cyclist turned runner who finally took the plunge into open water. I survived a winter trail marathon a few weeks ago. Let's be friends - what are you training for this winter?
