Amiga was a good name for a computer. It makes two important things clear:

1. computer is girl

2. computer is friend

New #caricature commission: siren of silent movies, and the early days of the talkies, Clara Bow. Colour pencils on toned paper. I've included the preliminary drawing too, in case anyone's interested.

Hey #screenshotsaturday 👋
Made this prototype today, I call it Conway's game of breakout 😜

I'm usually hesitant to share too much about my son, Ripley, or his situation but our situation changed a bit last week. Ripley is about 18 months old and we've known since he was born that he would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough. Until last week, our plan was for him to get one of mine. Unfortunately, I was disqualified, so we're on the hunt for a kidney! If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit https://ripley.love (1/2)

For today's #FollowFriday I heartily recommend @falcaolucas who create just the most amazing digital #art and #animation 😍

Seriously, it's stunning. I'll boost a toot or two in a mo ...

tracto: I handle
Here's Minimus with a pupa (puppet), but which is the verus mus (real mouse) and which the simulacrum (model)?

Unsure of Mastodon etiquette for plugging jobs on Mastodon...
but my company has a couple of neat projects coming up, and is hiring a contract web developer. Mostly React and Headless Wordpress stuff, along with some fun map and visualization aspects. Message me if you're interested or know someone.

You know your design has failed when the cafe owner decided it’s better to install a hand-operated soap dispenser than to rely on the built-in one in your multi-function faucet.

I hate these faucets. They started showing up at Starbucks a few years ago and they are genuinely awful.

Walking through the damp woods, we spotted this unique shaped very large #mushroom on a wet dead tree. I had no idea what kind it was and after days of searching for what it could be I finally had to ask a friend who is an Interpretive Naturalist. After a couple days of searching he had finally narrowed it down to a #BlushingRosette as they come in many shapes.

Sometimes on my travels around Glasgow, I come across truly random things, like a cassette of Dionne Warwick's Heartbreaker from 1982 hanging on a twig beside a path in the Botanic Gardens!

Hello there.
Mother and baby's first moments.
A while ago I drove a friend home from hospital after having a baby. The baby needed a fresh babygrow and I managed to get this eye to eye connection shot in the middle of the clothes change.
Sometimes just being there is enough 🙂

So here’s a thing about #maplesugaring in #vermont (not to mention that three days after a blizzard it’s 46 degrees and raining):
You have to pay attention.
You have to keep moving. Like Lucille Ball at the conveyor (sorry young’uns).
If you don’t pay attention you burn the syrup. Or you lose the boil.
You keep moving by: getting more sap out of the holding containers; pouring it into the warming pans; getting wood; splitting wood; feeding fire; getting sap… Repeat. Repeat. Repeat….#photography
