Third painting from my triptych of stuff I saw on holiday in Mali Iž last August:
Assumption of Mary is a holiday in Croatia, and in Mali Iž there is a party, which traditionally involves tying a bunch of boats together, side-to-side, and sailing in formation ("alajo-vez").
gouache, A5

fav track from "Madder!", I think, with "They" being close second
The guys were still on tour with "Mad!" until like a few days ago
and then suddenly they drop "Madder!" what the hell why are you so prolific and talented

#duckduckgo makes it easy to exclude AI images from your image search
I don't love that they have their own AI assistant but you can turn that off easily too

Scene I saw on island Iž last August. Zrmanja is a water-carrier, brings water to islands that have no water supply.
The water is transferred from the ship to people's reservoirs by a long hose. This takes all day. Meanwhile, children decided to occupy and take over the ship for their own purposes.
