A new landscape painting to finish the year, this one is a scene from the top of a set of steps that lead down to a beach and in the distance is Ravenscraig Castle which is in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Image size is 18cm by 8cm but it is on a piece of paper approx 30cm by 20cm. The cost is £60 plus postage.

I don't know why, but the tree is really making me happy this year. I feel very content. I hope that all of you are able to find your own happiness and contentment, if not now then soon. It's been a shitty year, and my own started in a very dark place. Never give up, never give in. It gets better.

My entry to a monthly compo that, if you're a mini painter, you should have a look at. :) (Do feel free to like any of the entries. They are all excellent.) #minipainting #miniterrain

Yep. Weasel does love when we put up the annual cat tree.

Loretta is unsure of her position on this Christmas thing.

Weasel inspecting low-hanging decorations. She made the stinky face at this one. Maybe smells too much of the Old Place.

If you're a fan of folklore and cracking storytelling, but you've not read the Green Man series, by the incomparable @julietemckenna.bsky.social , you are missing out. Just finished this, the latest in the series. So, so good. The first one is 'The Green Man's Heir'. Get it in your face.

I adore the #DogSitterDetective books, by @antonyjohnston.bsky.social Can't wait to get stuck into this one.

Sunset walk in #BerwickUponTweed #photography

A railway scarecrow stands watch. The wires hum with the approach of ghosts. Arms reach out, drawing them in, containing them, granting heft and symmetry to the etheral, before adding one more spectral weight to the tally. A score kept in haunted iron. #photography #ghosts

These are delicious. The book is already amazing, but this is just a whole other level.

Did not know this.

Latest addition to the Wall of Wells. Another fantastic piece by @slipperyjack.bsky.social

One of the weird things about #WritingForGames is that I spend quite a lot of time making presentation slide shows. You can write the most amazing material, but if you can't present it the way senior staff like, in a way they can understand and absorb it easily, then you're a bit stuffed.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Squid Game. Punk Squid Game (Alice in Borderland, which is the best one). Now Last Samurai Standing (Sword Squid Game). I want Kaiju Squid Game.

Loving the new Anthony Ainley sculpt. #DrWho #nerd

Life can be very splendid indeed. My happiness, my life, lives in Glasgow.

Starmer really is an utter waste of skin.

Truly the end of an era.

New Falcon print has just gone up in my shop. First new illustration in an age! Signed giclee print on 300gsm Hahnemühle paper. Makes a perfect present for the Star Wars nerd in your life. Overseas orders welcome! www.infinitebacon.com Thank you!

Glasgow.

Back alley, hard lines. Glasgow.

Ghost windows. The open ones are a problem. Sure, things can come out of them, but it's easier to fall in.

Happiness is finding Apple had the Criterion edition of Tampopo for sale. This is my absolute, hands down, favourite film. Absolute perfection.

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

The project I'm on. ☺️

I'm just going to keep Reposting this for the next four days. Help me help a dog. You get a #Necromunda gang. Oz gets help with his vet bills. Everyone feels better.

#TheMummy4 - it'll have a morning conversation where a perfectly tousled Rick says he had that dream about China again, where Evie looked like the neighbour. She'll pout decorously and ask if she should be jealous. Banter and snogging. Bisexuality confirmed for millions, awakening for millions more.

Wonder if Trump knows he's about to be replaced. If he's not gone before mid-December, they'll let him have Christmas. Then medical complications, Vance steps in. The GOP try to blame everything on Trump and a few middle-rank guys. Speaker is toast. Vance maybe. GOP disintegrates into in-fighting.

Veteran's Day is coming up. If there is a vet in your life, or if you are curious about a first-person glimpse of the Great Depression, WWII, and beyond, please consider ordering a copy of my dad's memoirs. (He had a great sense of humor, too!) 1/2 off on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Missing-Acti...

My accountant of the last 25 years is retiring. I knew it would happen soon, but it still feels like I'm losing a limb. My file is being passed to another firm, and will be dealt with by one of the staff from my original accountant, but still. I first used Clarke's in 2000. End of an era.

ok to any Edinburgh publicans or anyone interested in a model of their house/business i want to big up a local artist that done amazing stuff for me for over 25yrs. He does painting as well but his latest thing is amazing model work

Phwoarrr!

This auction is now live on eBay. 1500 credit Orlock gang. 9 humans and 2 cyber-mastiffs (Scenery not included) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/39722454... Starting at £50. Oz will get the money, not me. DM me if you have any questions. #Nerdlings #Necromunda

Very excited to sit down and watch this again. One of my favourites, now in sparkling 4k.
