I don't always take selfies, but when I do, I'm drinking whiskey out of a tea cup. My tea has horse power.
It's to show off the cup I used for reference to make the piece. I like the idea of having a matching set to give when the day comes that someone makes this painting theirs. I just started another piece yesterday as I wrote about, featuring the Canadian legacy - The House Hippo. Cutest PSA to tell kids not to believe everything they hear that I think we've ever had. I don't even know if kids today have that.
Mind you, kids today have so much more access to information than I did as a young person. You had to go to libraries and take specific classes to get skills. Now there's Youtube, google, and even google academic, which shows cited research. I remember some months back, maybe even a couple years, I was thinking I might have to give my niece the 'sexuality talk'. I suspected my ultra-religious sister might shy away from said topic, but when it actually came up, the kid knew 100x what I did at her age. I forgot.... she has a phone! It connects to the internet. She probably knows way more than I do just in general.
Anyway, kids today have such an intellectual advantage. Hopefully they balance it with the permanent grassroots movement to maintain physical and mechanical skills. I think people who worry about screen time are just fulfilling their duty as older generation by being overly critical.
So yeah, this is me. This is my work.
