If your car is too big for no working reason you should pay higher taxes.

I finally saw my favourite bird in real life. Actually, 5 of them. They are even smaller than I thought! 🥲

Working on some porcelain tiles, this will be much darker when fired so hopefully I got the washes right

Painting on a cold gloomy day

A photo of a wooden desk covered in painting supplies. There is an anglepoise lamp clamped to one side, the desk is surrounded by trinkets and art. A sad bear slumps on a chair

my latest was spending weeks on a picture book pitch/mock up thing but then scrapping it completely and wallowing in despair instead

I finished building my pottery studio but now it's winter and discovered a big leak i don't know how to fix so I haven't actually managed to make any ceramic work

Re-opened my online shop with lots of stickers and pottery(which mostly sold out)

Been working on a new sticker set of my favourite endemic birds, testing this little titipounamu on my iPad case

A whole bunch of stickers on a mint green background. In the middle is a sticker of a titipounamu/ rifleman, Aotearoa's smallest endemic bird.

Every time I fire white clay I get a shock at how much things shrink 😅

The same mug from the other side - handpainted text reading 'it's ok' in a spiky blue style

Anyone have any good resources for making stickers at home? Like what is a good printer, I think I'll probably get a Juliet Cutter. Also NZ sources for paper and laminate and stuff!

Painted one more mug before the kiln went on last night! #pottery #ceramics

A hand holding up an unfired ceramic cup, with a swallow painted on it. The background is filled with books and vintage toys

The same cup, slightly turned to see the body of the swallow

The same cup again, turned more to see the swallow tail. You can also now see the handle of the mug

I'll have a bunch of pottery for sale again soon so maybe I will do a big shop re-launch with everything once it's ready

I spent a bunch of money getting new stickers and postcards printed so I guess I'd better actually re-open my online shop at some point

Flash sheet for valentines day this Friday. I don't really believe in valentines (I mean.. I know it exists, it's just not a real thing) but I do believe in giving yourself little treats

Okay here's some calm sketching after that drama

Poor little cat is probably injured too, it was tangled so tight.

Devon @devonsmith.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

If you won't keep your cat inside, at least bring it in at night. We have some pretty rare native birds nesting here, and also don't want cat shit in our vege garden..

Fucking irresponsible cat owners... just had to cut an extremely angry cat out of our chicken enclosure fence. It's probably been there all night!

Finally got the brooding hens off the pile of rotting eggs. Thank God for that. Pigeon (the smallest and half starved by this point) did attack me, but I forgive her because she is very hungry

To be fair I don't think it was a failing on the Dr's part, just one of those things with no obvious solution. Would be nice if they didn't charge in these cases
