Decision time, folks. When I start on the finished piece, what should it be in: graphite/charcoal, or ink (linework)? Tell me which you prefer & why.

I don't usually repost stuff by people I don't know but in this case, it's worth it.

Okay well I don't want to pay £60 a month for gas, I guess it's ok if I go hose it out of someone else's car, right?
RIGHT?

Few things are as irritating as someone who makes a promise & doesn't keep it.

It is not surprising, however. That's the way many people have always been. #flake #flakes #gameplayers

@vokabre.bsky.social - Found another example of Wikipedia's unreliability for political topics...When I read it I thought of you, sir. Way too many people trust Wiki too much--& blindly.

Doing tree work today...with one difference.

For the first time since I started, I'm not alone out here.

Thank you for the info...as an artist who's worked mostly in trad media my whole life, now I have something else to be proud of.

No sketchpad, brush or pencil anywhere has genAI capability.

From earlier this month. I've been #clearingspace here & there...my land is full of vines. Too full. Also partly trimmed the overgrown pine-shrub bordering the road.

So I checked it out, @miamidesantos.bsky.social... 😆 Still perfecting your art, I see. Excellent. 😃

Content Warning, folks: Miami's cartoons are distinct, & *unique*...think "Adult Swim" but weirder & in Portuguese. Also, he's into big knockers.

About to help out a stranger. Wish me luck, folks.

It did help me earn $$ in my chosen field for a bit, back when I was a working artist...

If you count YouTube, it also helped me level up my knowledge in a few different subjects, particularly woodworking & military history. That's about it.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?
