I put one of my old paintings through an AI filter. It doesn't look much different, but "make more photorealistic" instruction gives it a bit of disturbing edge.

I caught the train from Brum to Lichfield. A train guard was showing a new man the ropes, overheard, "you can remember it from the acronym SAMWISE, you know, out of Lord of the Rings" @roac.bsky.social may be amused. I was intrigued, looked it up, it actually is a thing🙂

I painted the dove in 1991, at the request of the then owner. I'm pleasantly surprised it's still there over 30 years later in the historic town of Stony Stratford.

Heavens to Betsy, it's National Flower Day. Hurry hurry hurry all you people who lack the wit to send flowers when or why you want. It pisses me off when something nice you might have done, is taken out of your hands, and you are told what to do.

They’ve already knowingly let children die! Time we tear down the walls of these concentration camps. “The independent court monitor who reviewed her death said he had heard general concerns from Border Patrol officials about the operational "drain" involved in transferring migrants to hospitals."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Drawing challenge week 2. "Draw a scene from your favourite movie". I've seen "Battle of Britain" over a hundred times, but "American Graffiti", "Eraserhead" and "The Shining" were also contenders. My Spitfire has turned out a bit wonky.

Funny to hear the political right talk about the BBC and "accountability." Outlets like the Daily Mail, The Express, Fox News, GB News have been shown to have lied over and over. How many of their leaders and senior staff have resigned as a result of proven disinformation? None.

"Hallowe'en" was originally the Celtic fire festival of Samhain, celebrated by our ancestors in Ancient Briton, Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man, until the church stepped in to make it "All Souls' Day". But customs linger...

This was a painting I decided to scrap. I have just found the image after trawling through all the saved ones I have, and frankly, I now regret ripping it up and putting it in the bin. It is odd how I view my art more critically when I am stuck in the process.

A random photo. At first glance, it could be part of a bridge, but the arches in the spaces of the bridge are fenceposts, and the bridge is water. Such random things can influence my art process.

This is what is wrong about the world. There is a substantial minority of people who have more money than they could possibly ever need, whilst prices go up and wages go down. We don't need these parasites.
