Priming minis at 8pm before thunderstorms roll in from a sixth floor balcony is kinda wild when you stop to think about it.

I've only used lead white paint when doing portraits, but it turns out it may be better than titanium white when doing plein air, too!

Rogue One is an almost perfect film. If I could change ONE thing about it, it would be a dying Donnie Yen using the Force at the last scene to flip the switch.
Other than that... perfection.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
