Slow progress on the nocturnes… but progress just the same.

Caught the Tom Morello show at the Commodore.
Was pretty cool to see live.
#live #music
Started a series of nocturnes.
Seems like a good idea to me, I mean, some of the most famous paintings in history are night scenes.

Another coat? I gesso 😉
3 coats of gesso makes the tooth of the canvas a lot less noticeable.
Nothing wrong with burning a few paintings from time to time
Slowly, then suddenly 😉

One of the coolest things I get to do as a board member of the Pacific Rim Arts Society, is booking artists and performers.
This week is Summer Festival. I got to have Jay Gilday perform at TinWis Resort He’s a Dene folk singer songwriter
Nitinaht is amazing Ditidaht People are very warm They have a saying there ; No man ever starved at Nitinaht 😀
Just joined nostr:npub1mfndvgwstwm604jvrt07p6nyy898mdsdzzyumx9sdn8u6r4za4uqck6f8v ‘s Telegram group for Bitcoin Art Magazine! If you’re also a Bitcoin artist, you should check it out. There are hundreds of members, and as many artists as I follow on Nostr, that’s still more, so I’m excited to see what they share.

Why telegram?
Thank you. The island is an amazing place to visit. Parskville is great especially for young families. The west coast of the island is staggeringly beautiful. See you when you get here. 😀
I would like to see some really simplistic Nostr relay stuff around.
I’d like to help grow the arts community
IMHO this possibly the most creative of your work (that I have seen thus far) some really strong imagery and elements. nice work. 😀
Ok this illustration is 🔥 lit
Dropped by the Pacific Rim Art Society’s Orange Door Gallery today. This is a painting of mine in the show.

Been enjoying Jeff Booths recent interviews …
1 Loki Urlacher Antminer S19K Pro on the way-!
I decided to get the miner - by September I’ll have customized it further and spliced it into the house HVAC
There are a few approaches to accomplishing this - but I’ll get it hashing while I finalize the plan.

Proof of Workout
The first 20 minutes are warmup, the next 20 are workout, the last 20 basically double your output.
I’ve been recovering from an injury and the progress is very welcomed.
Proof of Pruning
Lots of work pruning back these trees. They’d been left for years.
2 are plum trees with really tasty plums. After a big pruning whereby I took down 1/2 of each tree, they’ve come back strong. I think it’s a crab apple tree? Next to them got another hatchet job and clean up and I took out a scrappy maple to make space

Working hard to finish a painting for ArtSplash! an upcoming show. I think it’s finally ’turned a corner’

Mainstream Media and most of social media is silent about bitcoin, despite recent news
CNN hasn’t posted a story on BTC since December 5
Stack sats n smile 😊
I’ve been hobby mining for a while—super fun, and I’ve learned a lot.
Lately, I’ve been bidding on #mining farm auctions for rented hashrate, which is a blast too.
Home mining’s tricky with power and gear costs, and profitability can be challenging .
Enter rigly.io—the site I’ve been using for auctions. I fumbled some settings and messed up a bit, but their tech support got me sorted out.
Rigly seems solid: you definitely get the #hashrate you pay for, sent wherever you want. #Bid smart, and you’ll score some freshly mined #BTC. 
I feel like they’re pretty new to #bitcoin if they’re picking out ‘the next bitcoin’ hopefuls to add to the #strategicreserve.

Yeh I know, right ? 😀*fist-bump*
A post of available Mark Penney paintings.
Prices vary by size, and I do accept bitcoin.
My website needs to be updated . For now you can see more of my work on Instagram and facebook.
I'm still new to Nostr - just figuring it out along the way
That particular piece isn’t available. I have several others in inventory - updating the website may take a while.
I’ll make a post 🤔
Giving out wallets to my fam got me the nickname ' uncle bitcoin ' =)
nice move - start them young.
I was putting together some notes for a normie friend bitcoin talk - I was told my draft was technical and intimidating, so I simmered it down 😌
so yeh. don't trust, verify. 
Well its about time I do my formal Nostr #introductions ... I like it here. Its beaming with optimism, hope, strong values and a general vibe of genuine excitement! Such a breathe of fresh air.
I haven't had any form of social media for years. Over the years I started to despise it. Too many idiots, too many controlled narratives, Orwellian censorship, and optics/lies spun by state and corporate backed sponsors...
Big tech, big pharma, big government and big lies. It was just depressing... I grew sick of the doom and gloom the algorithm would feed you, the ethos of the mob and the lack of like minded folk. I had to leave due to the inverted, upside down world promoted on their as "the norm".
Now, I'm excited about technology and computing again for the first time in over 7 years because of decentralised technologies like #bitcoin and nostr.
I've taken privacy into my own hands over the years. I'm running a degoogled phone (e/OS/), haven't had a Twitter account in over 5 years and a Facebook account in even longer. I never tried other social media platforms. Last year, I finally made my life 100% free of google (okay, I still have a YouTube account if I'm honest! But its isolated on an account with zero personal info) and looking to divorce myself from Microsoft and windows very soon as a next big goal for controlling my online identity and data. Obviously I'm a bitcoiner!
My career up to this point has been in Game Development with a background in computer science. I am now an aspiring homesteader. Self sufficiency, community and a nexus of clean food, #beef, water and a pristine piece of wild nature for my children to learn and grow from within is what I am striving for. I am a proud father and happily married to an incredible wife. I live on the beautiful west coast of #canada.
Some people say covid broke my brain. Fuck'em, I was on this path in life long before that horrible catastrophe on the human mind, soul and heart took place.
I want to leave behind a legacy for my family in the form of honest labour invested into the land. So that no matter what, my family has a refuge to feel safe and call home. A haven of abundance! I want to pass on knowing my children had the most freedom I could award them through their own nurtured self worth, skills and education.
I believe in freedom through responsibility, honesty, loyalty, freedom of expression, a right to privacy and a strong importance of morals rooted in family, lineage and community.
I first entered into the world of bitcoin in 2020 and have continued to #stacksats since!
More importantly I'm most excited about continuing the journey here on Nostr as I learn more about the protocol and its underlying technology.
Luck comes from working hard and showing up. My success in life is a testament to that as someone who started from nothing.
On a more light hearted note. I love #hockey, #camping, a good comedy and I'm an aspiring #hunter.
I look forward to connecting as I sharing my journey, experience, knowledge and self sufficient accomplishments here on Nostr as content.
Praise the earthly Mother, honour thy holy Father.
Big thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqs8cajagp7n48275ytuhzuxn93g2crc0lqgfgx8dta2gjdlh5fpmpqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9ug3l27u host over at 88satsradio for turning me on to Nostr. Its been quite a refreshing, uplifting ride thus far.
🙂Welcome to #Nostr
GM Nostr Artists 🌅
I'm starting a few small works this morning. Typically, I work with canvases from 24x36” up to 40x60”, but these smaller pieces can make lovely gifts and are perfect for those who don't have space for larger artworks.
Get after it today! #nostrartists #proofofwork #artstr #wip #studio #painting #grownostr #gm 🌟
