I drew some creatures for an exhibition at beloved local queer bar the Bearded Tit, loosely based on my fellow bar-goers.

Hiatus over, love seeing your work again!

Amazing pottery skills

Flawless

This is the most technically proficient pottery throwing I've ever seen. The economy of motion? Literally everything in one pull, one squeeze. Absolutely no even minor touch ups required. This shit is like watching a skilled magician even as someone who knows how to throw on the wheel. I am watching this the way that someone who is great at a few card tricks watches Penn and Teller.

Road trip

OMG Mutt looks incredible here!

I think about the meet a lot -- dream about it, mostly -- and how much i miss simply sitting around a table, at the counter, on the deck overlooking the pool and the shore, and listening to the conversation. hearing the guys "talk shop" (work, video games, etc), make jokes, yell emptily at each other. i even miss being hounded to get in the pool. i miss being tortured by acer's long youtube rabbit hole playlists. i miss sharing a bed with mark and just talking about whatever silly thing we did during the day or whatever else came to mind. i miss people barging into the room and dog-piling on the bed, until the frame breaks, and the subsequent think-tanking of how we can hide the fact from the renter. i miss the random disappearences of people who wander off to the beach to do drugs, then stumble back to the house out of their minds and up for anything.

i miss the late nights where things start to quiet down, then raise up again because the delerium of tiredness makes the dumbest things funny. i miss the chaos and calm of it all, how the meets felt like a true gathering of friends, how they all felt like second family.

it genuinely saddens me that it's a thing that "was", instead of a thing that still is.

if any of you gffer's are out there reading this: i miss you, truly.

The power of group friends right there. XO

Thanks to my previous neighbors, there has been a bit of a rodent problem near our building (I live in a townhouse). My neighbors and I have been working on keeping them away from the building via traps and other devices.

Well, some briars behind us in the neighboring property were cleared and it spooked a couple of rats.

I was cleaning my little back yard and noticed something come in from under the gate. I didn't have my glasses on so I initially thought it was a squirrel or small rabbit since we get those too. Until I realize it's keeping to the fence line. Squirrels and bunnies don't keep to a fence line like that. I take a hard look and realize it's a rat.

It made it half way up the fence line towards the building before my dog noticed it and just went for it. Cornered it and killed it. I had never seen my dog do that before. I was just busy raking the clippings from mowing and all of a sudden, all the hair on the dog's back went up and he lunged towards the fence. Not a single sound out of him. Just lunge and chomp and now we have a dead rat.

Obligatory pic of the stone cold killer.

Oh good boy!!! The instincts are sound, D, and Draco snapped into predator mode. Fantastic! He'll forever be wanting to find more rats now!

So I married the guy I met in early 2010s tumblr

Also, personal thanks to @backtobass for introducing us in the first place

Fuck it. Murdoc sketch.

I love this!

Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS

“How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and listen for the clappeth of it’s itinerant cheeks?” - Matthew 18:12, the bible

CLAPPETH….

I made this post a long time ago and never posted the follow up post, so here it is. Additional info on Fat tail sheep

Fat tailed sheep is not a single specific breed of sheep. It’s a catchall word like “Health care worker”.

There’s tons and tons of different breeds. They all store fat in their tails, but fall into two main categories: WIDE tails and LONG tails

Wide tails store fat in the rump area and have no visible tails.

Long tails store fat in the tail itself, which vary in length in different breeds. In the olden days, people took pride in breeding sheep with the longest tail. They are not so popular today as it’s hard to find a decent tail cart on Amazon.

Speaking of Tail carts, they come in different styles and designs. We dont have any that are actually preserved, but old drawing of them show different wheels harnesses.

Some of them are literally just skateboards

Back in the day, breeding sheep with long dragging tails was all the rage. Nowadays different tails types have been developed to prevent them from dragging their tails on the ground. Such as the “folded tail” or the “Only fat at the base” Tail

Despite fat tail sheep being the most common sheep breeds in the world, most people in the west have never heard of them. The West likes Wool Sheep. Fat tails are strictly meat sheep and have little useful wool. They also do poorly in colder climates

There’s a huge community of shepherds on youtube that script, choreograph and shoot elaborate videos for their sheep complete uplifting music to highlight their best qualities (for sale and stud) It is fantastic. Such as this one:

People kept bringing up Fat Bottomed Girls. Ya’ll are wrong. These are fat bottomed BOYS. Sheep are often continuously bred, so the females are constantly getting pregnant, giving birth and nursing.

That’s very hard on the body, so they can’t build up as much fat as the boys.

The fattest sheep, the ones with the truly VAST tails, rocking them little carts are ALWAYS males.

This is why the Bible specifically states that ONLY the rumps of the Males are to fit to be offered to the lord……

Picture: God desiring the tail

“And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the WHOLE rump” -Leviticus 3:9

I mean… look.

Arguably these are just minor details and doesnt matter….

But beyond it’s teachings the bible is also a work of literature about life in the ancient world. And on some level these kinds of small details bring a sort of richness to these depictions of real…

Ancient people bred out sheep with huge butts, took the largest sheep butts, set them on fire and prayed over the burning butt. It checks out.

This is incredible.

Models of the six Burners cars from the show Motorcity. This took way too much time and I’m proud of the results.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
