My last drawing for the year, Mr. Chunky the half-tailed squirrel. He has been a frequent visitor for years. #squirrel #sqrlpix #mammals #art #drawing
Raccoon would like to order a dozen eggs— one disappears too quick.

A #painting I did in Ireland's County Tyrone. "Weir at Sion Mills" came after a perfect night in Strabane where the next day I was brought to the attractive village of Sion Mills to see the weir. I did the painting before cycling on to Derry and beyond Ballykelly. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Mr. Raccoon is perfecting his begging face. Yes, I did cave in and feed him.

If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

I just bought my 6 year old a dictionary. Does this make me a Luddite in these crazy times? 📚
I refuse to use any generative AI shite and cannot stand the idea of the likes of Alexa, Google Home, or even a ring doorbell.

In more positive ludditisms, I recently bought a whetstone to learn to properly sharpen my own knives and axes #apocalypseskills
i have never, not once, listened to a song on spotify unless it was playing at somebody else's place

what are you a luddite about

This is hypnotizing!
Blocking in each of the little woodland critters one by one for the new Moonlit March painting. Here’s a tiny sneak peek of what’s to come! 🌙✨
