Artist and positive curmudgeon.

Still trying to fight the battle on X but so many bots it's like Ukrainians fighting the orcs on the Eastern Front, and sometimes you have to do a tactical retreat.

Anyway, I did promise some #art so here's a #painting called Mask of the Red Death dating 2021-25.

I won't post my art on X again.

The real “Dolores”? I was recently commissioned to create a pencil sketch of Aquilops - a dinosaur which I’d never really paid proper attention to. In the l course of my research I became a bit obsessed and felt compelled to also create this more detailed illustration as a personal project.

Art class today. The theme was underwater, so I couldnt resist painting my model organism #Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog). This is done in encaustics, which is a mixture of beeswax and resin 🐸 #Art #SciArt 🧪

This 18th-century youth is meant to be a graceful little figure holding flowers, but his expression suggests he’s just been told something mildly shocking. The sash and floral base make him look elegant, yet that wide-eyed stare makes it hard not to laugh.

Today is Fibonacci Day. 🧪🐡🧮November 23 if written in MM/DD format recalls the #mathematician Leonardo Bonaccio of Pisa (c. 1170 - c. 1240 or 50) aka Fibonacci’s sequence (1,1,2,3…) where each number is the sum of the previous two. He used it to describe rabbit populations, but the sequence is 🧵

So back here as the Musk place really is getting crazy. Too much time blocking or having to justify myself to nameless accounts or bots. Still much to be said on X for up to date news content but it's poisonous. Got to get me head around this place once more. Will maybe put some #art up again..

Horrible night, when I could sleep I had bad dreams, blood and pain, unrelenting heavy news to wake up to.

What a shitshow everywhere and by everyone. 😟😡

But at least I don't have a bullet in my head like that little 2 year girl.

What a ghastly people rule us.

Come 20th July are people going to abandon X?

It's bad enough as it is with Musk being in the White House plus his app is full of hate, bots, porn and Nazis.

This #Northman film is pretty gritty, gory and tough. What brutal lives people led in 9th century North Europe. Just violence and dark magic. The language is a bit difficult to follow but the visuals are sometimes stunning. And the tracking in the fight scenes is superb. OTT testosterone levels.
