‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them.

Wow. I wonder which part of it he is claiming is a hoax/scam?? Is it the part where there have been multiple wealthy men who have been able to pay off their accusers and so far experience no other consequences or accountability??

🤣

Thankyou! Are you based in Vancouver? We have a huge open studio event in November here called the Eastside Culture Crawl which many artists prepare for for the whole year! That’s where I sell most of my work.

Finished this piece last year The photo i based it on was taken on Burnaby Mountain in the summer which is why it’s a different quality of green than you will see in my other forest felts #ColorADay #GreenSat #smArtist #BlueSkyArtShow #needlefelt #textileart #forestscape

Who made this??? It’s AWESOME!😎

This is 16”x20”. The biggest one I’ve made so far- it took me several months. Thank you!

Can I be on the list?!

Those are some very cool mushrooms!

Have you guys ever considered doing a piece on their weird ‘staff trainings’? Or did you and I missed it??

#tbt to another piece I completed in 2023. I finished this just in time for the Eastside Culture Crawl and was really pleased with it. Someone snapped it up right away and it now has a forever home here in East Van.

Thank you! 😊

Thankyou! Yes I do sell them and also take commissions. The turnaround is a while right now because I’m trying to build a body of work for a big open studio that happens here in November.

You know, people comment on the quality of light in my work quite often… I don’t know? Maybe it has to do with the fact that all my pieces are based on photos I’ve taken? So that in depicting them photo-realistically there’s a very photogenic quality to the light?? It’s just white wool 😉

Ha ha! You won’t be surprised to hear I get told I must be insane… like… a lot! 🤣

Well then that’s a big compliment-Thankyou! I don’t love folksy felted stuff either! I call these needle felted, photorealistic wall sculptures!

Yes indeed… with some embroidery for the finer branches

🤗

Thanks! My goal is always to try and bring the image of the forest back to life… as if it’s growing into your living space! The sculptural quality of wool enables me to do that with its three dimensionality.

Think I’m finished! Just need to frame it now. You can see the felted moss a lot better in this video.

I keep being disgusted by the British government. People voted for change. It’s all just more of the same BS

Thankyou!

This is the future of power everywhere and it’s really exciting.

I heard! I really liked it. And I loved the space too! The garage nearby is also a lovely spot for breakfast and/or baked goods!

There's just over a week left to see the Current Threads exhibition at Cowichan Valley Art Council Gallery in Duncan... This was my contribution and I'm proud to share that it was awarded an honourable mention by juror Jane Kidd!

What would happen to Netanyahu if Israel wasn’t in a state of perpetual war and how much is that driving his decisions? I hear a lot of ppl saying he’s doing this to avoid going to jail but I don’t really understand Israel’s political structure enough to grasp how that would work

Amazing! Looks like an abstract painting!

Hi… yes I do but as you might imagine, they take me a while (!) and the last few I made sold right away so I’m currently working on creating a new set of pieces for a group show in September and a huge open studio event that happens in Vancouver in November. I’ll definitely have stuff for sale then
