no, impossible to believe
even when artists explicitly state it
and especially when artists encourages people to be weird about it
Took my #Jedi griffin, Qesnel, out to the #FestivalOfTheForce at the Kent Events Centre today. Smallish event (perhaps? Not sure on event sizes in the UK yet), but was good to bring him out. Met and talked with a couple of people; Tim Rose and Ailsa Berk.
things are deliberately getting harder too; I was shocked and appalled at gmail not allowing folders and proper organization, training you not to be organized because you can just search for it, then they control the keys for search
feels like the society is making things deliberately harder on purpose so they can sell the tools to clean up the mess they trained you to helplessly make
Watercolor Journey: Mica and porter in Milan (10/20)
Now moving on from Cinque Terre to Milan, instead of nature I was facing a lot of architecture, very impressive buildings and such an adventure I got to live there due a train strike that I told on my journal.
Here we are in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, overpriced coffee, and then me thinking why did I do that to myself at picking such a complicated spot to paint, but honestly it made me work a lot on simplifying structures on buildings, and after getting all the shapes figure out, then I can start adding all details.
We can see Mica and Porter shopping, or better said... Mica shopping and Porter carrying everything out.

Watercolor Journey: Denali and Archer in Riomaggiore (9/20)
My second day in Riomaggiore and this time I got ready for a splash. While swimming I was really looking forward to seeing a sea monster. The vibes from the movie Luca were too obvious that they got inspired on the place I was at that moment.
The most challenging about trying to make this painting, more than not getting splashed by other swimmers, was to find some shade, the sun was too aggressive at that moment, I changed my spot so many times that I was worrying of changing too much the angle of my view, but for painting I had to leave it for later, I didn't want to get roasted.
This was personally one of my favorite paintings from all Cinque Terre, I was not intimidated for watercolors anymore, not even for drawing and painting buildings, I had learned I didn't need to copy all single details but to choose what was important to include and then simplify scenes. I could notice very proudly how I was improving.
On this picture, we see Denali and Archer, playing while cooling off from such a hot day. There was a lot of life like this in this place, it was so lovely!

Watercolor Journey: Repaki in Riomaggiore (8/20)
Coming back to Riomaggiore the next day, because it was my absolute favorite village in all Cinque Terre, Italy. There was a sever heat wave hitting, and I was walking long distances, so I deserved my daily dosis of gelato. If I have a weakness, it would be for ice cream, and Italy is the best on it, and probably one of the best I've ever had in my life was that day in Riomaggiore: very soft, perfect amount of sweetness, very flavorish, you could feel the fruit on it.
Repaki, this red panda/fox, was representing my mood completely.

"Huh," said the dragon. "Would you care to explain?"
"Yes, I'm not a princess all the time," said the milkmaid. "Only on bright spring days. Once they end, I turn back into me."
"How come?"
"Oh, I was bitten by a princess."
"Again, how come?"
"She couldn't help herself," the milkmaid grinned.
"Bro, I'm so gone rn. You should come here and look deep into my eyes."

This feels like a weird BBC "compelled balance" piece to me.
Feels a bit like the whole "the environmental crisis is your fault because you didn't recycle enough" signed by energy company CEO on Β£3m/year situation. Guilt tripping normal people for doing what they can given a shit situation.
The reality is air-to-air heat pumps ("air conditioning") solve lots of immediate problems. But we can't just say that. We have to go off and find somebody with a contrarian view that it's irresponsible and people should be focussing on making their roof reflective to drop the indoor temperature from 43C to 30C (!?).
Tbh, defund and dismantle the BBC.

Watercolor Journey: Dahan in Vernazza (7/20)
Returning to Vernazza, this time to walk inside their streets, and I found this spot, perfect for another painting, also the time of the day was helping to create some cool shades. But then the person living in that house came out to see what was happening, they saw me like telling me "what are you doing?", our Italian - Spanish/English conversation was not going anywhere, he didn't seem upset tho, he seemed okay with I was doing but I'm so shy that I felt intimidated, so I left, and I had to finish that painting later, based on a picture of the place.
Instead of the intrigued Italian, we have Dahan, appreciating the contemplative life, as cats tend to do.
Reading this made me feel ill. :|

Watercolor Journey: Zak in Corniglia (6/20)
Getting from the train station to Corniglia requires physical condition. Corniglia is a village from Cinque Terre, Italy, up in a mountain, the only one in Cinque Terre without a direct beach. I saw there were many people waiting for a collective transit for getting to town, but I decided to walk, and it was during a heat wave so I got completely tired. After drinking a liter of water, I stopped to by a coffee and then to appreciate the beautiful views to the sea. I also found a great spot for another painting. While working on it, a whole bus tour got in town and I experienced a bunch of tourists treating me as part of the entertainment, taking me pictures and even putting their phone in front of my face to take the picture of whatever I was painting, no questions nor small talks to me, just pictures and speaking their own language among them. More than getting upset for how rude all that was, I was laughing so much for how unexpected it was what I had experienced.
On this view, you can see Monterosso on the distance. And on the foreground you see Zak losing a sandal while seating on a roof.
Watercolor painting for Backlash.
With my dad's help, I cut and pulled down all the ivy off the side of my house. In the two years since we got here it had covered pretty much the whole side wall from the back of the house to the chimney stack half way to the front, and all the way from the ground up to the gutters two stories up. Lots of stuff to hack down. My dad thought it wasn't normal ivy, and having checked the web I think it might actually be boston ivy, which apparently is actually in the grape family and doesn't damage structures in the same way as true ivy because it sticks with adhesive rather than whatever the heck true ivy uses, so that's nice.
Just wonderingβ¦ If I started a Signal/Telegram/somethingelse channel where I'd post stories I've written, would anyone be likely to actually follow it? It feels having an announcements channel is something that an actual "creator" would do rather than just some idiot trying to sate their tame-ass lame-ass kinks in prose and hoping to be Seenβ’β by another tame-ass lame-ass idiot, butβ¦ I dunno, could I be worth it?
