Tracing Young David: A 'Takin’ Over the Asylum' Location Tour ...we visit some of David Tennant's early obscure filming and recording locations in Scotland

Today I'm kicking off a new 3-part series on early David Tennant filming locations in Scotland you can actually go visit.

First up: 'Takin’ Over The Asylum'!

I’ve pulled from archives, DVD commentaries, and chats with ToTA dignitaries to map out the real sites. Hope you dig it as much as I did!

My 8” x 10” linocut print “Winter Walrus” from 2008 shows a large purplish brown walrus emerging from water surrounded by ice printed in blue.The walrus faces the viewer.

A throwback for World Walrus Day - this limited edition walrus #linocut. Rapid climate change and loss of sea ice in the arctic is a challenge for these extraordinary mammals.

A drawing on a Post-it note shows a small snail in a room. The snail sits on a pedestal labeled "Monday." The snail looks up at the ceiling, which represents the only exit from the room. A sign reading "Weekend" protrudes from the opening in the ceiling.

Never ending ...

😥 Sorry, that someone did that.

I've got a customisable Revenge sticker board! 🏴‍☠️ And some lovely acrylic charms! 💜 Also OFMD enamel pins and affirmation deck (in case you haven't seen these before)! ✨

Let's take a closer look at the Miyazaki acryl collection! ✨
I bring to you full arts and sketches (a thread).
Also can you find all the Studio Ghibli movies inside this Totoro? 🩵

So sorry, that it was so bad! I don't have good advice, sorry, but I also see a lot of artists, who struggle apparently and don't sell much. Please don't take it personally. Lots of people still like your art, I'm sure. This doesn't help to earn money of course. 😔 I'll try to share your posts more.

I hate when people ask me, “Why are you so quiet?” I’m quiet because that’s how I function. I don’t ask others, “Why do you talk so much?” That would be rude.

Meh, icy rain! 🤞that it doesn't get too dangerous.

A field filled with stars and covered by clouds of gas and dust. The centre and left side are totally blanketed with billowing, bright red clouds. They are opaque some places — showing clusters of stars forming within — and transparent others. Small patches are dark black in colour, while a large cloud below the centre is mostly pale blue. The right side of the view, mostly gas-free, glitters with stars near and far.

This gigantic cloud of cold hydrogen gas is called N159, and it’s one of the most massive star-forming clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Let’s start the week with an Owl

Looks very 🥶. ... Snow here has already vanished completely. It looked best very early in the morning, at 5 a.m. when I looked out of my window. 😅

Yes, it's only a glimpse of winter and snow will be gone soon. It was my first song this season, so just very fitting to todays view. ... Hope you have a better day today!

Yes, I'm really not used to this. -2 here right now and a bit of winter wonderland. Heard the first Christm. song on the radio today, too. Queen, Thank G. it's Christm. 😄

We also had snow tonight! Looks beautiful at the moment, but it won't last. I will enjoy it soon at least for a few minutes, when I'm on my way to the bus. Not so much anymore, when I'm in the bus and so on, I assume. 😄 Commute will take more time today.

Here are some mallards right side up. I’m feeling a bit rude for only posting their butts!

I am finally done with this art 🙌 it was a long one with so much planning and re-planning. Almost giving up half a dozen times and a million breaks but we're finally here and wooo is it a big one. I just had to do @badwolfgirl93.bsky.social fic justice 💕

A cartoon illustration of Godzilla leaning on a hillside sipping a large cup of coffee looking at the city in the distance. Caption reads "He would always start his day with a good strong cup before heading into the city."

Large coffee. #grickledoodle #kaiju #godzilla #coffee #morning #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #monsters

A copper ornament hanging on a tree surrounded by lights in shades of lavender and mint green. The ornament is shaped like a snowflake, and engraved with art of Aziraphale and Crowley together. Aziraphale has looped one end of his scarf around Crowley’s neck as well and is pulling the ends to bring their heads together so he can kiss Crowley on the corner of his mouth; they both have their eyes closed and look peaceful and happy.

The third ineffable ornament! I am making these in both copper (pictured) and brass, and I’ll have neutral photos for Ko-Fi so you can see the metals without the colored lights.

So early this year! Looks great, but I'm glad we didn't have snow. 🫣 But it gets a bit warmer the next days, I think.

It was so frosty this weekend. I'm not used to it, at the end of November. 🥶
