I'm trying to keep my morning writing going, I think the catharsis helps my down moods as of late. It's also raining and trying to snow, so delaying the walk to the office, from the parking lot a few blocks away, is also a good thing.

I’d like to work on two characters for my story today, the laundress (pictured) and the palace steward.

This is Coraje. He is the angriest little guy in the world. By volume at least. He's actually a pretty normal amount of angry, just packed into a very tiny puppy. 12/10 (TT: mizraimbejarano)

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

I haven't designed many enamel pins over my nearly 30-year design career. So it was fun to design these for our first year engineering student major declaration event later today.

More views of that brand new sculpture by the mysterious street artist Banksy. It is attracting a lot of attention and drawing crowds since the eye-catching sculpture popped up in central London. #art #sculpture #banksy #london #travels

Here’s some Utagawa Kuniyoshi art to make your Sunday a little better.

Gouache Bug Studies !

One of the problems with hayfever (pollen allergy) is that when you yell at plants, people tend to stare and call the police. So I have provided this handy thread of pollen grains under high magnification (electron microscopy) for my fellow-sufferers to channel their rage at.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Laguna's iron-rich fortification banding creates these deep crimson patterns when hematite inclusions concentrate along the agate's growth layers. The "big-window" profile maximizes visibility into the flowing brick-red bands that curve inward with natural geological precision. 🔥

WOW, the mechanics are just as wild as the bird itself. This is so beautiful! What a sense of freedom in this sculpture by Marylene - Creatrice d'Oiseaux #beautifulbizarre #kingfisher #automaton #fiberart #needlefelting

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

Your AI cover sucks. Hope that helps.

"Ex-Infowars employees speak out on Alex Jones!" No. Shut up. I'm not listening to you. You were happy to enable his evil ass while he kept your bills paid, your condemnation of him now is meaningless. Leave, coward.

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

My wife and I are at Blood Cancer United's cancer conference today. She's been in remission for multiple myeloma for over three years now, and these conferences help us keep up with current health and medicine. It's nice to hear people talk about 10, 12,v even 20 year survival too.

Currently working on some small studies of resting lambs, this is the first one of the series.

1/ COVER REVEAL 🧵 I'm thrilled to share the US and UK covers for SLEUTH-HOUND: THE CASE OF THE REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES, the untold story of Dr. Joseph Bell—the Victorian surgeon who inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create the world's greatest detective. Pre-order here: shorturl.at/fdGnV

Can't wait to get my new passport!

Well the chores are done for now, so before lunch it's time to work on some sculptures.

Based on a great Instagram comment, something like: Ai art can eat dicks Ai art sucks my ass Fuck Ai, real art rules Ai art can fuck off

Yep. When you digitize old stuff, you now have to look after the original artifact *and* it's digital surrogate. "Just put everything online" is not the labor-saving flex laypeople think it is.

youtu.be/AXGG0jzEAig?... this is her song

I finished the Planes, Trains & Automobiles painting. This is the final piece for my solo exhibition at @quirkyfox.bsky.social. Details to follow. #caricature #art

I'm doing a cover reveal for SLEUTH-HOUND at 10 am EST. The US & UK covers are very different from one another. The US takes inspiration from the original Sherlock Holmes stories. The UK looks like it could be a novel, which is interesting for a nonfiction book! Which do you think you'll like?

I really don't want to get into political stuff, but these are intensely political times: Dear fellow white people, don't stand up to an injustice done to another group because white people might be next. Stand up because it's an injustice. It's really not that complicated.

A good nonfiction book is so much more than an "info dump." I write narrative nonfiction. If I've done my job, it reads like a novel - and is hopefully entertaining as well as educational. Historians like myself also work with documents that have not been digitalized and cant be scraped by AI. 💙
