Falling asleep last night to a nice relaxing audiobook about north sea raiding between 950 and 1041 CE, but actually I can't relax because it's trying to tell me this silly guy was REAL??

Hen and Dragonfly.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.
Silhouette drawing in black ink of a hen running after a dragonfly over wild grasses. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The piece is small and intricate.

Commissioned drawing of a barn owl. The owl is drawn from the side, it has a subtle crown made of decaying sunflower petals. The image is very low saturation. Background is black. Multimedia.

I got used to it as a way to cut down on social media, if I'm going to be scrolling it might as well be some long form writing. Also no one thinks twice about seeing someone in the office on their phone but pick up a novel and everyone thinks you're slacking off for some reason?? Books are nicer tho
