My cousin commissioned me to make a portrait of her friend’s pup that died recently. 😔 this was done using gouache and water soluble pastels.

They knew what they were about.

Luckily I had a spare quick link. Good excuse to take off the chain and give it a proper cleaning.

Nothing special, it's a bit of a follow-up to the mural I recently posted, what with all the flowers and bees and such. This meeting was about the future course of a live talkshow here in town for which I do social media and marketing. No, it's not on radio on TV, just in front of a live audience. But it's nice.

One week ago we opened my first mural with a perfect neighbourhood party. I’m really happy with what is basically a gigantic watercolour. It's not that easy to photograph because there's a tree in front of the whole thing and the plants adjacent to the wall have been destroyed because I had to be there with the scissor lift, so that looks really bad as well for the time being. I have to get a drone or something.

Thank you so much for all your support during the whole process. Several people have already gotten in touch with me to talk about more murals I could do, but we'll see if anything pans out.

I've got a bit longer video on my Instagram for those who are interested: https://www.instagram.com/p...

I just discovered OG web hero Golan Levin's archive of "single-stroke fonts" https://github.com/golanlev...

"This is a repository of p5.js (JavaScript) programs for loading and displaying single-line vector fonts (also called single-stroke fonts, technical lettering fonts, stick fonts, skeleton fonts, engraving fonts, or monoline fonts) in a variety of formats — including TTF, SVG 1.1 Font, Hershey Font, and others. This repository also attempts to present an authoritative archive of single-line fonts (and procedural fonts) recovered or extracted from a wide range of creative projects, vintage and obsolete technologies, and other sources.

Most digital fonts are "outline fonts", which represent letterforms as shapes that fill closed contours. By contrast, single-line fonts represent letters with linear skeletons, the same way we might write them by hand. Single-line fonts are ideally suited to creative coding, pen-plotting, laser projection, and CNC machining."

We hired a local apiary specialist to come rescue the bees who had made a home above our mud room. It was $$$ but made us happier. This is a relatively young hive. We saw them swarming weeks ago but couldn’t get anyone out until this past weekend.

This is the one comb that the apiarist saved for us. All the rest will go into the rehomed B’s new enclosure. Because they have baby bees in them and some of those will survive. What is in here is nectar, not honey because none of these cells is capped. He explained to me that honey. Only comes after nectar has been properly dehydrated by the bees, fanning it after capping it. All the family members have tasted this nectar. It taste like the wildflowers from our backyard. I intend to rinse the comb and melt it down into a beeswax candle.
