The night of the Blind Contour Wednesday drawing with Oliver in the bistro was all blind contour. So great! And yeah, I cheated on the profiles, glancing to reposition my pen. The last one, of course, I drew the hair in separate…

Blind Contour Nephew Martin and I drew blind contour drawings of eachother last summer, which I later filled in with watercolour. Really fun. My drawing of Martin Martin’s drawing of me

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

🖼️ New Painting!

Portrait of Wally by Egon Schiele

One my my fav artists ever. And great SF painting! Funny—I felt like I had to do the eyes, but prob got me a lower score. Classic sloppy trade off.

Futures Bistro With Oliver This is a person sitting behind Oliver, engrossed with his writing. A great practice using tiny coloured pencils.

A civil society initiative to advance AI law, policy, and regulation centred around human rights and the public interest

Canadians deserve to have a say over if, how, and to what extent AI is part of our future. The government is only listening to industry voices and that needs to change.

That's why I'm participating in the People's Consultation on AI, and I *strongly* encourage you to do the same.

Ontario and Canada needs to think about this.

Without hyperbole, this is a video of an ICE agent shooting a prone man being held down by other ICE agents, about half a dozen times. Talk about 'taking the sign down from the window'. These are extrjudicial killings, with the "demonstratably false" narratives by the federal govt.

Sleeping Cat I had used this page in my sketchbook to test my brushpen writing this random word, and then later filled the rest of the space with a sketch of what was in front me, which is most often these days…

Scene from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas where the Whos down in Whoville clasp hands in a circle and give thanks even though they have no presents

Happy Holidays everyone

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Merry vibes to everyone

"The claim is that allowing wealthier patients to pay for access to care will remove them from public wait lists and result in faster care for all.
