Monday we start the big installation. I will be mostly underground for the next 3 weeks or so getting covered in slate dust. We’re putting in some very impressive projectors this time. I will reveal more when I can. This was a test projection a few weeks back. It’s massive.

Talking to colleagues in the creative industry, hearing stories about the gradual erosion of work lost to AI. I had a client freely admit to me a recently that they had attempted to edit a logo (I originally designed) with AI, said they failed to get the results she wanted so came back to ask me. 🤨

What if we told you vultures save us billions every year? 🦅 Vultures in Southern Africa provide $1.8B in ecosystem services, but populations have dropped 97% due to poisoning, belief-based use, and electrocution. Without them, ecosystems suffer. 💔 🔗 Read more: www.birdlife.org/news/2025/02...

I can see something on fire off the shoulder of Orion outside my window just now. Can’t make out what it is though. 🤔

Staring down the barrel of a very large snake can be unnerving when you have no idea what it is. Turned out to be a Tiger Rat Snake or Mica as it is known locally (which I prefer). Apparently more likely to whip me than bite me. #costarica #greenseason #snakes #reptiles

Poor garden owl got badly damaged in the last storm. I promised to rebuild him. Just waiting for the glue to dry for stage 1 of a probable 5 stage process. ‘The repair shop’ would probably do a better job, but needs must. 🤞 He’ll probably live in the house from now on. #repair

Vulture in the cloud forest. Taken on a recent trip to #costarica during the green season. I actually took this shot while eating cake and drinking a coffee at a very nice restaurant - easily done in Costa Rica. #greenseason #birds #landscape

Apparently my Costa Rica video has had over 2,400 views on YouTube without me even knowing about it (the Scintillant Hummingbird makes an appearance). ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=31fQ...

I suppose I could have made the Resplendent Quetzal my first Costa Rica themed design. But for me, this little fellow was the star of the trip. Scintillant Hummingbird, supremely tiny, and with the most amazing gorget colour. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1687... #costarica #hummingbird #birds

I could do with some new T-Shirts, so I am working on some new designs. Image from a trip to Svalbard in 2022, when this big old male came lumbering up the beach. Deposed: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1686... #walrus #arctic #wildlife #wildlifedesigns
