I've been distracted this week cause my Mamo is ill :( He had an obstruction and had to go to the hosital vet overnight at the weekend. He seems to be doing a little better now, but we haven't slept properly in days, and he's come home with his own small kitty pharmacy. Send your love to Mamo!

My second Autumn Whispers piece! This one was very much inspired by @iguanamouth.bsky.social classic series of unusual Dragon Hoards - a dragon gourd hoard! I like how this guy came out!

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.
