I had this idea from reading the elizabeth holmes mouse post and then I couldn't do anything else until i painted the idea to completion

It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."

Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

I made 75 of these sick artist proof booster packs and I’m bringing them to MagicCon: Amsterdam!!! Each contains 5 proofs from my collection, one signed per pack, and there are some super expensive proofs sprinkled in there. Also sketches, doodles, and even a full painting. See you there! 🤘

My table! Julian’s name is still on the site, I am not Julian sadly but I’ll do my best to uphold his good name.

This painting is in one of the packs!!! It’s an acrylic painting of Yosemite or somewhere I forget, warm light, bright colours

A pointy mountain in shade in the distance, with golden autumnal landscape in the foreground. In the middle is a little lake with some reeds in the water that are glowing bright gold. The sky is a kind of grey blue with some grey clouds.

The beautiful Crypt at Winchester Cathedral for the theme #PalacesandGardens #CoolRefuge I have taken many photos here. It always looks different depending on the flooding and light. #Reflections #Churches #Statues #Hampshire #Photography

The cathedral sits on a flood plain so the crypt is often flooded as it is below the water table.This leads to beautiful reflections of Antony Gormley’s lead Statue called Sound II from 1986. It is a cast of the artists own body in a contemplative pose.
Occasionally the crypt is shut as it is too flooded.
The crypt is the oldest part of the cathedral dating back to 1079.
The massive structure is monitored constantly for movement. Inside the cathedral are laser lights to warn if this happens. They bleep occasionally. It has required constant engineering and repair through history.
From 1906 to 1912 a diver William Walker single handedly stabilised Winchester Cathedral’s foundations with ballast. Inside and outside the cathedral are statues of him and a pub nearby is named after him.

Thought of another fun exercise everyone can try: turn Bouba and Kiki (of the Bouba/Kiki Effect) into characters that fit your own tastes and interests

Characters Bouba and Kiki posing heroically. Bouba is round and soft and she wields a mace, and Kiki is sharp and angular and wields a sword.
