I finished and signed The Beatles. I just have to varnish them, then package them up for shipping to @quirkyfox.bsky.social gallery in N.Z.

Details on this quadriptych, and the exhibition in which it will appear, to follow in due course.

Re-posts appreciated!

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!

Madeline Miller’s Circe reframes Homer’s enchantress not as a side character but as heroine. A witch among gods, she bends fate and finds power in exile. Myth rewritten for the modern age. #MythologyMonday

Edith Hamilton’s Mythology remains a doorway text for many readers. With retellings of Greek, Roman, and Norse tales, it shaped how generations first met gods and heroes in English. #MythologyMonday

Van Heflin seemed so out of place, plus Oliver Reed was perfect Athos IMO.

Goodnight from the HQ of WOMB – Women Opposing Male Bullshit – in a squat on Vinegar Street, where their fundraising party is so loud it threatens to wake the plague pit dead. Goodnight from Cass Farley, reading fox-scattered bones as a map to tomorrow. Goodnight from Hookland.
