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 £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.

I wonder if anyone makes a cosplay version of this.
(I.e. much more robust, suitable for actual use, and probably a fair bit cheaper.)
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 wondering… 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 Seen™† by another tame-ass lame-ass idiot, but… I dunno, could I be worth it?

It's a rough world, and I refuse to gate-keep entertainment for profit.

"Ephemeris," the third book in "The Draconyma Cycle," is releasing on the 14th of August in paperback and eBook formats. I'm really excited to get this book out there for people to read. It's been a long time coming.
My never ending quest for slightly weird photography has finally led me to a Leica of my very own! ..but not an M, oh gosh no, we’ve got ourselves here this worn out Digilux1 from 2002!
Of course the first outing with it was to a furmeet, as all good camera tests should be. Really fun not-so-little thing. I enjoy it and it shall join me in some silly adventures.

Watercolor Studies: Cappy in Manarola (5/20)
Despite Cinque Terre (Italy) is very well known among tourists, because of course those villages are so beautiful, but in the afternoon when the sun is about to hide, most of tourists return to another towns around (mostly from Milan), they don't tend to stay, and the evenings feel more authentic, most of remaining ones are local people. One afternoon I made a quick hike around the hills until I found a spot where I could see the sunset, and it has been one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen, and there was nobody else in that place but me. It was a good moment to be reflecting about the world we are, the miracle that is to be alive in this universe, and be aware we are here, living the moment, but we are clouded by so many frustrations. We should be less capricious, realize that most of our worries are pointless. We're at such a tiny moment in our lives that we shouldn't dwell on what we lack. Sometimes we should stop, look around, and see what we do have. It might not seem like much, but we're here.
I had started sketching this painting on the site, but I decided to finish it later, and better seize the moment. It was the first piece from my journey that was not made live, but it was based on a moment I got to live.
And this was for Cappy, seeing the same sun I got to see.
