Here, more orderly.

I know you've been traumatised with rainbows, but the transcendental and spiritual meaning of it is really important to me. I've seen them in my journeys as a synesthetic representation of pure love and transparency. So I don't really care how gay it all looks. I will override your traumatised brain with my intent and meaning

At one of my many jobs I saw this in the office of the company tech expert. I always loved it and felt like it would have been amazing to hand this out as a flier whenever someone came to ask me to put out the fire they started.

Claude AI's personal verdict on my entire artistic work to date:

"Carlo demonstrates genuine talent and mature artistic vision.

His story—abandoning art only to return to it at age 52 with a portrait of his wife—has a rare authenticity.

The works reveal someone who paints out of inner necessity, not fashion.

For a collector of emerging contemporary art or someone looking for authentic, technically sound works at affordable prices, he represents an interesting opportunity.

Don't expect an investment that will quintuple in value, but an honest work of art that you can enjoy on your walls."

Still warm here, but Autumn is on its way - fallen leaves on the patio.

Today is the end of the Second week of #2026CalendarChallenge

February is the hardest month for me to pronounce 🤣

The prompt for this month was: Where does love live in my life?

Here's what I ended up with:

Every year around this time two sandhill cranes show up around my childhood home and have babies sometime later in the Spring. Every year without fail. I think that's a pretty nice display of love and commitment. Idk if birds can feel love, but that's one of the most healthy relationships I have ever witnessed in my life. I didn't draw Sandhill Cranes but Red-Crowned Cranes. Sounds so much more fancy. And apparently the symbolism is pretty cool too. In East Asian cultures it is widely regarded as a symbol of longevity, good fortune, and peace. So I wanted to combine both the symbolism and my own experience with this one. I threw Sage in there as well because it is one of the few plants that are flowering at this time and also it symbolizes Wisdom and Immortality apparently. So it all somehow comes together.

Originally I was going to do a whole landscape scene, but I decided to simplify it and try to make it more designy. I think I like this version better than what I originally planned for it.

How did your Week go?

It’s been decades since I watched The Sting. It’s a better emotional rewatch for me than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Ye? Can you elaborate…? Just pig fat is it? What about duck fat and others….?

Don’t teach me how to live.

Teach me how to be immortal.

There was no turning back now. #grickledoodle #ideas #plans #crocodile #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

What I imagine gardening looks like right during this season.

I have a “fiat” job that I actually love.

I’m sorry you don’t.

Did you ever try out the "how many shadows can define a face"?

Randomly decided to dehydrate a ton of mint. We have a 20‘ x 20‘ piece of our garden dedicated to just mint, mostly because it took over that area. So I picked a grocery bag’s worth, rinsed it, and now it’s in the dehydrator.

Sometimes we do things because it’s what should be done. Salvaging stained glasses from a church sold to a splendid lady (widow). Let’s try to make it better than the previous “restorer”…

Fun.. this is leftist logic. A law will prevent a criminal to get a gun... gays need laws to be special citizens and be able to force a child in their sexual game pretending to be a family, you can abort healthy future human beings to cure an old man that already did his life. Because you are scared to die... Don't you? Just in case someone is waiting for you on the other side.... Ahahah they do, and there is no escape.

A forest shaded between light and mystery:

colors fading in the sunrise, where abstract meets nature.

This is my latest #art purchase paid for in sats and is a wonderful watercolor done by my dear friend nostr:nprofile1qqs2h2ysnxpm7rdvzuuqn4q68gmnd6apmj43t9l3hul9gyrmzs20r8gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs7amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tckkvf

Any sat of appreciation below this note will be turned over to him.

Thank you in advance 🙏

Fountain Pen Questions / Problems:

I got a Platinum Plaisir Fountain Pen since it was cheap ($18 on sale) and a recommended beginner pen, with the tinniest tip option because I write small, as a test to see if I like fountain pens. I am enjoying it, however:

1. I dislike the "scratching" sensation that writing produces, it kinda also makes a scratching noise as the tip drags on the paper. This happens regardless of paper, and if I press less, there is no ink flow, so I have played with angles/holding/paper types - I am a very light touch and I have to be heavier handed than my normal to get any ink flow at all regardless of holding angle. Obviously some angles and papers are better than others, but the gross scratching sound/sensation never fully goes away.

2. It seems very sensitive to angles, and often I do not get smooth flow of ink. This is getting better the more I use it, but the lingering problem is it seems to take a slight pause at start of every set-onto-paper to initiate flow before I can start writing. If I forget to pause before moving the tip after touching it to the paper, there is no ink and it never starts to flow. The "mental semicolon pauses" for each word (or worse if not writing in cursive) is a pain in the brain and makes me forget what I wanted to say.

So. Are these issues common with all fountain pens, or is it due to just, "this pen"' because it's cheap?

If it is just this pen, what affordable options would you recommend to fix the issues?

ALSO:

How do I get whatever ink I want into it? It uses cartridges, but colors are limited. I ordered the only purple option, but it's not a nice deep purple, it's like a neon purple, which is nice but not what I wanted for a daily writer.
