Hooklanders talk of dusk as 'hurry home'. It's an attempt to express that creeping sense of peril that comes upon you in certain places as the sun goes down. Twilight terror. Another cup of tea declined. The Highway Code ignored. The true rush hour of the county. – #MattAdams

Another quick Trees study in charcoal. But adding 3 tones of grey chalk to suggest aerial perspective. Very much enjoying playing with this medium. 🌳 ✍️ #Trees #AmDrawing #WoodWalking

Three trees in a row on an avenue. Drawn with charcoal sticks & grey chalks. Diagonal line suggests a kerb & draws eye into the distance. Furthest trees are hazy & grey. Sharper charcoal marks & details on nearest tree. Foliage casts dappled light & shadow across the path.

Happy Sunday! We had a full cloud layer today with several opening slivers so I was very optimistic for some pre-sunrise backlighting – and sure enough it delivered, filling the entire iPhone 18 1X camera frame. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

4 October 1936. Battle of Cable Street took place in Cable Street, Whitechapel, London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, protecting a march by the British Union of Fascists (BUF) led by Sir Oswald Mosley and various anti-fascist and Jewish demonstrators.

War is target fixation. War is concrete cicatrix. War is an unbanishable ghost. Hookland knows this. It pillboxes remain manifestations of invasion fears. The abandoned sound mirrors of its salt marshes still listen out for phantom planes. There is no psychic peace. – #DAKilory

We like to tell ourselves that time flows evenly, but we all have a history of convenient lies. Time has its slow eddies. It runs across some places so tardily a year might become a decade. Places where the walk of a hundred yards might take two hours to complete. – #DAKilroy

Finished my painting of Begonias in Art Class today. Aiming for contrasts of muted vs vibrant colours and geometric vs organic shapes. I do like that these rows of pots and tins look like decorative panels containing the flowers at the centre. 🎨 🖌 🌺 #AmPainting

A sprawl of Begonias in vibrant reds & oranges with thick, frilly leaves. The corners of the painting show rows of stacked tins, crockery & terracotta pots in more muted blues & lilacs.

September has been a pretty prolific month, since the children have gone back to school and pre-school l've been able to work on several drawings and it's been wonderful. There were a couple of duds that I had to abandon but I'm really pleased with how these have turned out.

Lots of ink drawings on top of each other.

Artificial Intelligence and Creative Writing: A Policy of Sorts. I've posted versions before, but I update this each term following conversations with students. Here's my Fall '26 edition. In no way definitive! Learning as I go.

ABBREVIATED FOR ALT TEXT
This is a course for those interested in writing not as means to an end but as an end in itself. Recently... I read a story in New York magazine titled, “Everyone is Cheating Their Way Through College,” by James D. Walsh....
I didn’t think AI would be a temptation for creative writing students. “Everyone is Cheating Their Way Through College” persuaded me that for many students of all sorts it’s not a temptation but a condition. You sleep in a bed, you wear clothes, you don’t scream at teachers. Just the way it is. Maybe AI is becoming that, too, part of “just the way it is.” Maybe it is that already.
My mind raced through ideas about how to “beat” AI. The article dismantled them. Then I thought, “That’s not my job.” I’m a writer and a teacher. I’m not a cop. If you want to work with me on writing, we can do that. If you want to cheat, you have the ability to do that, too, and the truth is, I probably can’t stop you.... Per Dartmouth’s policy: “Students may not use GenAI tools for submitted coursework unless expressly permitted.” I do not permit it....
I’m interested in working with students for whom writing feels, somehow, good. Even if sometimes it’s painful. Who seek that feeling anyway. A feeling of being, of alertness. Of purpose; of intention. Of practice.
This is a course for those who are interested in using writing to experience some variation of this feeling. Sometimes it comes in a moment of clarity, sometimes in the making of a lyrical juxtaposition. There are so many more emotional, intellectual, and spiritual possibilities that arise from the act of shaping language... There is no paycheck, or even a finished book held in hand for the first time, that has ever brought me as much complicated pleasure as the arrangement of words. Maybe you’re like this, too. Or maybe you want to be. If so, I designed this course with someone like you in mind.
