This moron has the nuclear codes. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Well, that threw me right out of the story.. Why would an author say, "roast beefs" when they could've just as easily said, "beef roasts.." 🤦🏼‍♂️

As someone who lived through the Reagan drug scare, I'm SICK of the right's fake tactics. No one with access to highly profitable illegal drugs is giving them away to your ratty kids! Engage your brain for like, three seconds.. please! 🙄

Me: Ok, I really need to start working on the small mural ideas I'm being commissioned to do..
My Pathological Demand Avoidance: No! You need to work on this other art no one asked for, that you need to go shopping for the supplies to do!
Me: Fine.. *sigh*🙄

Today's #EstateSale score? I have been wanting a #LibraryStepChair since the first moment I saw one!

It's always a nice ego boost when you're just working away and hear someone you didn't even know was there say, "Wow!" behind you. 🥰

Today's #EstateSale find? Oh, just a fifty dollar block of paper for a buck! 😱 #ArchesWatercolor

You mean your dad doesn't have a right hand drive '68 #MorrisMini? I'm a middle aged man, but I'm also the kid working the pedal to help bleed the brakes. 😂

It's too hot to paint outside, so I did another weirdly illustrated CD album cover. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #GaryNuman #Splinter
If he was going for "weird dude from a horror movie" in the original photograph, I think I nailed it. 😂

I've heard people say how good N.K. Jemisin is, so I was excited to find a whole trilogy in one of the little free libraries I frequent. Started reading.. it's in present tense. I don't have many deal breakers, but that's one of them.

This week was pretty good for #thrifting #CDs. A Perfect Circle, Men At Work, Prince, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny Cash, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Oingo Boingo.

A large cut glass bowl marked $15.99 for a set of 4.

Today's #thrift score. I grew up with these bowls. One of the small ones is missing, but the big salad bowl and 3 small ones is still a good deal. Oh yeah, today yellow was $2.79!
I also found a half dozen decent CDs.

I'm not usually one to complain about #DoctorWho regenerations.. but I really hope that was just some transitional nonsense. 🙄

Two days ago I made a mental note to take a picture of a neighborhood tree I wanted to use for reference. Yesterday, they cut half of it down. Because of course they did. But at least I took a pic.., no I did not. 🤦🏼‍♂️

My first real #CrowGifts! I guess I need to up my game. I left a piece of apple instead of just boring old peanuts, and was rewarded with these two small pieces of granite. I will treasure them. 🥰

I don't know why I thought putting in grass WOULDN'T be tedious drudgery.. I was very much mistaken. I'll add depth later, but first I have to paint 12 feet of background turf.

I can't decide if my neighborhood #crows have been hanging around so much because they recognize​ their brethren in my new #mural, or if it's just because I'm outside and they want peanuts... 😂 It's probably the peanuts.

Lupine flowers grow outside a small door in a tree trunk, as a wolf watches you from across a stream in the background.

I've finally reached the most dreaded spot in painting my #mural.. scaled details. Some tiny #LupineFlowers came up today. Now I'm going to have to make them bigger (and more accurate🤦🏼‍♂️) as they get closer.

Took advantage of the gloomy day, (and a break from my current #mural) to start on my next one.. and bring the sky down onto my garage door.

My most popular #TikTok comment has been surpassed. The new one is approaching 92k likes. I feel like popular comments should be eligible for payment as much as videos. It's the least uncomfortable​ way of being perceived.

A Chipotle bowl with an entire unmashed avocado in it.

I think someone at #chipotle skipped a step with my #guacamole. At least they took the pit out..? 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

An unfinished painting of a beached, wrecked tall ship.

He's got a ways to go yet, but #Paragon has appeared on the shore of my #mural.

It rained, and the power was out for a few hours, but I had pizza for lunch, and a free lavender coffee. #HappyBirthdayToMe #ThisIs53

Today, one of my #crows left a tiny rat forearm and hand in my birdbath. I don't think they've quite grasped the "give the humans presents" idea. Or they think I'm way more goth than I am.. 🤔

Blocked in the cliff color last time. Today is back to working on the #sea and #shore.

"Back by popular demand!" The Korean Senior Center harmonica class playing the national anthem. #LAKings #GKG

I don't know where this #squirrel found an entire slice of pizza, but he wasn't sharing.

A half empty birdbath with dirty water, crud from mashed peanuts, and a chicken bone.

I appreciate that my crows use my birdbath. Not a huge fan of their leftovers though.

Got the sky about 95% finished. Today I'm blocking in the sea.
