"Oldtown" This thatched cottage in the east of #Ireland is your early #painting today. One day last year after #cycling from Ashton in County Meath to Garristown in the very north of County #Dublin I sketched for a while before I cycled on to the very small village of Oldtown where I came across this delightful cottage and fabulous tree. So I sat on a wall by a water pump and painted it. #Art#MastoArt#UrbanSketching#Artist#MastoDaoine#Watercolour

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Having fun drawing with/on black paper. Here's a little ghost I drew. Someone told me he looked worried, so he is now called The Apprehensive Apparition.

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down? - Buffalo Springfield (Steven Stills)
Hey people of Mastodon. My audiobook isn't out, but I wanted to share something with you. I was heavily abused in the past and as a result suffer from PTSD, but ever since I wrote this text, my nightmares ended. Quite literally writing this healed a part of me. And I just couldn't help it, I wanted to share it only with you, private SoundCloud link. Let me know your thoughts if you check it out. Thank you ❤️

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own - The Byrds (sung by)
It's a winter image, I know, but it's a favorite of mine. I think because it speaks silence so well, that silence that you experience when it's snowing, a lovely silent silence. You can hear the snowflakes as they hit the ground. I am glad it's Spring, but just spoke to me. Sometimes, I think it's what we need...
Has any of you #gamedev people ever had issues with negative scale in an #animation? Our #3D#artist loves to flip things by just applying negative scale, but it makes it into the animation #keyframes. That means the entire #geometry is flipped, including the #triangle winding order. This ultimately turns the mesh inside-out. I wonder if anyone ever came across this?
Any day is a good day for #flowers but especially #flowerfriday so today I bring you a sacred pink lotus with a stained glass effect. (Not real stained glass!)
I'm starting 2023 by posting #MyRecordCollection , adding to this thread one each day. These are the albums that made me who I am (for better or worse). That should last most of the year! I'm also updating the art, using techniques I've learned and developed since I began this series in 2009.
