This is paint monkey, my mascot. He looks angry all the time because he is. Got issues, you know. Issues.
Well, everyone's piling on ed Sheeran, and why not, ugh. This about sums him up for me.
Meanwhile, here's a very friendly birdy who's song is infinitely better, any day of the week. 😋
Apperently "warbling lark" was one name they were throwing around for a name before settling on Australian magpie.

Got out for a scoot, with the weather being spiffing recently, Canberra, west edge of the burb of Curtin.
Discovered a treasure trove of parrot habitat, nearly every tree chock full of nest hollows, might be a top spot for a bit of bird photography 🫠

Finally, started another new pallette on my seemingly neverending quest to get my place&studio "just right".
And, I reckon it looks terrific 😁
No painting for 6 months now, stuff has been affecting me bad it seems.
And also, big felids of the pleistocene, just for fun 😊

Went for the first walk in ages yesterday evening, damn foot gas been playing up with a pressure callous or something. Rare sight here, white ibis out molonglo way, see straw necks flying over occasionally. And a very shiny black wasp 🫠Have to look that one up, feeding on those flowers by the looks

They complain about it , because any government spending that doesnt subsidise their companies or absolve them of any taxation liability hurts their fragile god complex's.
Exhibit a) Gina that Rinehart, who is currently trying to curry favour with an international crime cabal, and is a traitor.

I don't like Christopher Pyne.
I know you are, but what am I?
Hate that prick.
He's got Alexander Downers entitlement, with the punchability of David littleproud.

Recently found an artist i love is aussie, i sorta remember some punch down crap about some fringe haired rapper or something who was frankly roasted mostly in the pop media, way back in the day. Yeah sure, not exactly in the loop, but damn i like her voice.
Well, i love her work and voice.

Yeah, it sure would be nice if our government would comment on how its going to deal with the new Nazi America.
Appreciated,they cant "say the words", but some actual pushback against the LNP openly supporting, nay, SPRUIKING tmurrpff crime cartel positions as matter of policy, would be kinda nice,

The weather here has been so rubbish, nearly blew my beanie off yesterday 😑 Makes what to wear a crapshoot, but Im not looking forward to the heat exactly either. These monster trees in civic would be just the ticket for a backyard, I've got a balcony garden, 🏡,not exactly homesteading🫠

Been taking an extended ADHD break from painting, as in, well just haven't. Busy 🫠bit of inspiration, some of the great pics ive taken over a few years, so cool to just be able to do that with a phone so easily.
Remember the 90's? When the first digital cameras were shit?

Scored some free jade plants, awesome!! Only thing I've been able to grow reliably is another crsssula ive got. And scored some dirt cheap stencil brushes, never used them. But I'm hoping to solve an issue with dabbing coverage . All very technical and painty you know. 🤨
