Tomorrow is the release date for both The Making of Karateka and RoboDoc. That's my evening taken care of.

Ate this mushroom I found in the forest and then shrunk to half my size 😭

#Typing on your #mobile is so tricky, especially when you want to position the text cursor in the precise place so you edit a word.

Also with #Firefish, when I upload photos, the touch screen alignment sometimes goes out slightly, so I have to tap above the place I want to tap. It means on menus I have to tap the option above the one I want. That's a bit of a skill to master!

#Smartphone

I quite like #Firefish but should I #migrate back to #Mastodon?

#Poll

Is there a Mastodon instance that allows you to do the #MFM stuff?

My wife had an old post shown to her on #Facebook about witnessing a road accident on Seven Sisters Road, #London, where a car nearly drove into a shop.

And neither me or my wife remember that event. And it makes you think how much of life you actually remember. It's probably about 5% I'd say.

This is a #LinocutPrint we framed in a narrow oak moulding stained black with natural wax.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

Coffee gives many people a morning pick-me-up, but did you know it could also make your patio sturdier? Here’s an article from Popular Mechanics that details how scientists developed a concrete that’s 30% stronger when infused with spent coffee grounds.

This Friday's art appreciation moment is: The Mansion of the Plates by Katsushika Hokusai. From the series One Hundred Ghost Stories. Very interesting representation of this tale of a servant that broke a plate, then either committed suicide or was murdered, and thus nightly as a ghost counts the plates and shrieks when the count comes up short. #art #WoodBlockPrint #FolkLore #GhostStories #hokusai

This is a small #OilPainting. It's a copy of another #painting by a different #artist.

It's a scene of #Paris. We wouldn't normally put a card mount around an oil but this one has one.

The frame is pine which is a very common wood, but when it is stained, it takes on new characteristics. Staining really enhances the wavy grain.

👇🏾 This #Japanese #Washi paper tape that comes in a roll is perfect for attaching #artwork.

Great for #PictureFraming

Much easier than working with sheets of #paper

@amey@raki.club 😊 Thanks.

@helenmclaughlinart@mastodon.art Thanks! They were. They were quite particular and nothong I could find matched. This option worked out well.

Are there any #Londoners on the #Fediverse?

#London

One last new piece before the big market this coming weekend. Based on a photo I took in #Seattle of the back of the famous Moore Theatre. The photo was stuck in my head and I just had to try to linocut it.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Sidewalk, collect the pieces of your motorbike to get to a concert with your girlfriend before 7.00 or just walk the streets beating up people and asking them questions. This game is great. The graphics are beautiful. Go and play it!
