It’s so satisfying when a printing session works, (it... often doesn’t 😊), when the background comes out right and the tree plate prints well, without bits of ink in the wrong places, and the ink behaves and doesn’t smother the white marks I’ve carved.show more

It doesn’t matter what material you build your house... from, when a fire, fueled by high winds hits, it’s not being saved. This is from a “small” recent fire in Gatlinburg area that got close to a house I owned. Took out quite a few homes. The wind just carries the sparks everywhere and often the fires start at the roof level (not the ground or side of the house). Once the roof area is hit, it’s all over. The fire will burn the house from the inside out. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a metal roof…think of all the wood components that metal roof attaches to and the eaves, soffits, etc. Just one spark can start a fire. When the wind is blowing at 60-80 mph gusts, you’re getting millions of sparks. The fires also get into the tree tops (especially of pine) and then balls of fire can also start raining down in clumps onto houses below as well. ICF, poured walls, concrete block….all irrelevant when you have a massive fire coming your way.show more

Created with seedance 2.0 on Yapper Prompt: Create a... 15-second cinematic video in an ink wash + watercolor painting style. A graceful dancer moves slowly in an empty white space, and every movement of her body leaves flowing trails of black ink and soft watercolor pigments behind her. The ink spreads like living brushstrokes, forming clouds, waves, and abstract shapes in the air. 0–5s: The dancer appears in a minimal white canvas space, taking a slow step forward. Each step releases gentle ink splashes from her feet, spreading like wet ink on rice paper. 5–10s: Her dance becomes more expressive—spins, arm sweeps, and jumps create long flowing ink trails. Watercolor reds, blues, and gold tones begin blending with black ink, forming chaotic yet beautiful brush textures across the scene. 10–15s: The ink trails fully fill the frame, transforming the entire environment into a living hand-painted masterpiece. The dancer fades into the artwork as the camera slowly pulls back, revealing a complete traditional ink painting in motion. Style: traditional East Asian ink wash painting, watercolor blending, hand-brushed textures, soft paper grain, cinematic lighting, artistic slow motion, highly emotional and surreal visual storytelling.show more

Renewal pinging off the press. It’s a tough one... to print - too much ink or pressure and the little marks disappear, too little and the colour is patchy. A sky colour will be added later.show more

We’ve all seen a double rainbow, but have you... ever seen the sky do this? 🤔 This rare phenomenon happens when sunlight reflects off the water’s surface and then passes through rain droplets in the air. The reflected sunlight acts like a second sun, producing additional rainbow arcs that cross the primary ones—creating this stunning crisscross effect. It’s pure optics, perfect timing, and the ocean acting like a giant mirror ☀️💧 Nature doesn’t repeat itself often… and when it doesn’t, it really shows off.show more

The fun part of experimenting with brushes is that... you have to figure out how the ink behaves first. How it spreads. How it flows. Only after that do you start thinking about texture. And honestly both parts are hard in their own way. What I tried today was adding something like a magnetic force into the ink. So while drawing, these unexpected textures start to show up.Most of the strength and density come from layering 2D Perlin noise. It’s actually really fun to play with. A lot of time goes into things no one ever notices. That’s just life :)show more

I’ve lived through many governments and what I’ve found... is the liberal party has not only a culture of deep corruption but they have zero integrity or conscience when it comes to boldface lying to the Canadian ppl. They will say anything and promise the moon if elected. Once elected, the promises go in the trash and the tyranny comes out.show more
