Practicing an Art
alt text
Large, hanging greyscale quilt with a small caricature profile of Kurt Vonnegut in his traditional style. A large speech bubble states "Practicing an art, no matter how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow."
Visiting Indianapolis for a couple of days just to knock the rust off and clear out the cobwebs. Stopped by the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library this morning to pay my respects (and hit up the gift shop!). https://www.vonnegutlibrary.org/
This piece was a group effort from the Indy Modern Quilt Guild and was made in 2020. More info available at their site: https://www.indymqg.com/practici...

love this. exactly the message i needed to see today.
This quote is in my collected quote list and sometimes is the quote I rewrite by hand as part of my morning practice. Though mine is worded slightly different:
"To practice any art, no matter how well, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."
"To practice any art, no matter how well, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."

My first mural update #2
alt text
This a couple of days ago. Nearing completion. It’s one of the few shots where the scissor lift isn’t in the way. Since then, I’ve done a lot more work and added lots of lines. Today I decided it to be finished. Tomorrow we’re going to add a top coat.
And on Saturday, there is going to be an official opening and neighborhood party, because two other murals in my neighborhood accidentally have been finished in the last two months as well. So we decided to team up our festivities.
If you’re in Rotterdam on Saturday, June 13, drop by at the corner of Assendelftstraat and Adamshofstraat. 15 PM sharp!
On Google Maps, you can still get a glimpse of what the previous rather dilapidated mural looked like. Nobody was happy with it:

I love how it rises naturally from the grass.
I'm sure the people in the neighbourhood will love it.
Well done you.

It's beautiful. I wish it was in my neighborhood.
@joost thanx! I have to add I did take a little the most favorable spot to take a picture from. If you stand right in front of it a rather small tree is in the way. I do hope it won’t get too big 🙂
It’s so cute because there’s a school on the square as well, and every day these primary school kids come by and they all look at the mural for minutes and minutes, inspecting all the creatures and flowers I have put into it. It’s super rewarding.

Black and white photo of artist Larry Bell, looking very dapper in a dark suit blazer with white buttons, black shirt, white tie and black and white striped trousers, with two tone brogues. He's also holding a cigar.
(I guess some of the garments might not be pure black or white, it's hard to tell from the photo, but they are pretty high contrast).

Heather pink T-shirt with white text on the chest reading, “GET IN LOSER, WE’RE INSTALLING AN EXHIBIT,” alongside a simple line drawing of a scissor lift. A white “Museum Expo” logo appears on the right sleeve. The shirt is displayed flat against a light gray background.
Ha! Sent this to my wife who is currently installing a museum exhibit.
omgggg i'll be installing an exhibit in 2 weeks with my classmates. i seriously doubt i can get this to spain in time, but do you have a link?

my nephew reading my copy of “cars and trucks and things that go”
alt text
phone pic: a young boy kneeling down on vinyl floor, looking at the children's picture book "cars and trucks and things that go", with two toy trucks and a bowl of blueberries next to him. to his right is a wicker basket and past the book is a blue blanket.
before my nephew was born, i mailed my childhood copy of the richard scarry classic to my brother as a christmas gift. this morning he texted me and said “noah has been insisting he eat blueberries and read ‘pig and momma’ this morning.” i was delighted.
my parents bought that copy of the book for me in ~1984 and the legend goes that i requested back-to-back re-readings of it on a daily basis. glad the tradition has continued.

I don't get the green guitar thing but I can think of pretty good examples backing the rest of them.

What a photo. (Ivy is the longtime scorekeeper for the Durham Buls.)

Did he catch it?

My new band name.
After dropping my youngest at kindergarten, biked to office. While rising down to the parking place, something happened. I blacked out and only got my awareness some 20min later (it seems after crashing, I brought the bike to its parking place, overcame 4 fingertip control points + lift).
CAT scan was normal - it was a very warm morning and I changed from helmet to cap! One in a 100times.

2 weeks ago, after dropping my youngest in the kindergarten I took the usual bike ride to work. While descending the office garage, probably lost control of the bike (sand?). Don’t remember as I blacked out.
After some 20min I walked into my office (in the meanwhile parked the bike 2 floors down where i crashed, passed through 3 fingertip controls/barriers and took the lift) with no memory but some pain in the shoulder and head (of course that day I swapped my helmet to cap!).

Dang! Glad it wasn’t worse.
Oooouuuucccchhhh! Hang in there and here's to healing!
Oof, you must have hit that shoulder pretty hard. Glad you're otherwise ok and hope all heals well.

Image of a public bathroom toilet in which the tile flooring is a mosiac of a large group of people looking at the person on the toilet with their hands in the air either supporting the person on the toilet with their upraised hands or giving them cheers of support, depending on interpretation. They are all smilling happily. The toilet seat is up.
Holy crap!? (Assuming those people are raising their hands in religious ecstasy)

Akokala Lake, Glacier NP

A view of Akokala Lake at nautical twilight. The Livingston Range is in the background (and reflected in the lake). To the right is Numa Ridge. The peak in the far distance is Kintla Peak at 10,092 feel, and Reuter Peak on the left. Akokala Lake spots at about 4,750 feet.
View from my backcountry campsite at Akokala Lake on the North Fork of the Flathead side of Glacier. Kintla Peak (10,092') is in the far distance, with Reuter Peak closer in. I was the only one at camp, and by the looks of it, the first to stay overnight this year.
I'm still recovering post bronchitis and planned this shorter (5.8 mi each way) hike, since I could mote readily pace myself on foot then cycling. The trail was extremely muddy about a third of the way and then tied in with my first overnighter of the year, I'm feeling it today, but hey, my lungs are still moving the right direction, so that's something.

A photo of the names on the “86” list. Names like in the title or “Creepy Steve (FBI guy who always tries to buy drugs)”. Many names are handwritten.
Is that from the Parkview on Carrollton? Did not do anything there to get on the list. But sad to see it closing.

Used to be Fuji, then i graduated to Braeburn, then tried Envy but decided it was too pricey, before moving to Seattle and discovering Cosmic Crisp.
That held me until the store was out one week and I fell back to Envy, and decided life is too short to skimp on good apples.

A handsome used dog of Boxer, Pit, and who knows what else with black fur and white paws laying on a field of grass. Happy as can be.
We said goodbye to one of the greatest dogs today. Lucky to have had him in our lives.
We gave him a good life after he came to us abandoned. I like to think he gave us a bit of life over the years. The epitome of “man’s best friend”, he’d follow you to the end of the earth and back. Six years is too short for the love we had and cancer just fucking sucks.
Edit: I just realized I've posted about him a few times over the years. That brings me joy. https://mltshp.com/search...

So sorry for your loss.
This sucks, I'm sorry to hear it.
So sorry. To live in hearts that love is not to die.
