For #ArtAdventCalendar day 16, here’s a face I sketched last weekend. I really love drawing faces, they’re so interesting. Not overly happy with this one but meh, it was fun. Drawn with #Polychromos #pencil 191 Pompeian Red in a mixed media sketchbook. #drawing #face #art #sketch

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

pls take a 10s emotional break and look at my cat

Look at what just arrived from the UK! 🤩 “Bad Garden Party Stare”, original artwork by @kazland.bsky.social, the 2nd of two I’ve purchased recently. The other is still in its postal tube as I want to get it framed too. Sooo happy 🥰 #art #artyear #kazland #fineart #OnlyBeautifulThings

It’s always nice to start fresh in a new app. Here’s a painting I’ve made five versions of over the years. This is my favourite I think. “Gracefully lurching from one nightmare to the next”

Frank Capra, producer & director of the classic “It’s A Wonderful Life”, warned of the issues of climate change in 1958! Nice article with clips of the great man, below.

Gina Rinehart is a greedy, ruthless, dangerous environment killer. I already knew that. What I didn’t know was that she’s doing it in other countries too, and getting away with it because of her sheer wealth. Eye-opening read.

“The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.” - Joseph Goebbels, 1926 Excellent article below (free link to same in comments). Scary how closely Drumpf is following this playbook.

Superb article in the Atlantic yesterday about how Hitler destroyed the political system of the Weimar Republic between January and March of 1933. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

remarkable that human brains can take anxiety about one thing convert it losslessly into anxiety about a totally different thing

Newest piece of 2025. The Alchemical farewell, oil on canvas, 64”x64”, 2025
