On hobbies in 2025:

My interests have changed a lot over time. Early on was deeply interested in electronics, photography, computer graphics coding.

All of these fields have been significantly impacted by technology in ways that take the user away from the underlying fundamentals. With modern digital cameras and AI in the world, photos have lost their mystery. Modern hobby electronics has become about plugging together microcontrollers rather than understanding how they work. Computer graphics has long since moved on from the hand unrolled software rasterisation tricks I treasured.

Of course, you can always approach these hobbies with limitations and scope in mind. There is nothing stopping you making timing circuits using resistors and capacitors, but it wont be what you see on YouTube and in community.

My hobbies today tend towards things that have been less impacted by technology. Yes we have new steel and composite woods, but hand tool woodworking is still very much grounded in the hands on practical skills of old. Yes I have so much more information and LED grow lights and sensors, but when I do gardening I am still mostly moving dirt with a shovel.

I don't know how to name this feeling, but there's something about the soul of writing cursive with a fountain pen, or sewing with a machine older than me, that I can't find in the newer hobbies.

Wistful longing for working with my hands.

One sticker design a day (6/365): Only One Damn Shitstorm At A Time Please

When life just won’t quit throwing chaos your way, let this sticker say what you’re thinking. Great for anyone who’s just trying to survive one meltdown at a time.

Perfect for planners, laptops, water bottles, or any surface that needs a dose of relatable attitude.

I'm excited to reveal the artwork for this year's LIMESTONE CYCLING TOUR t-shirt. I was asked to make a design that included bicycles and downtown Maysville.

This woodcut design uses 3 colors - and white- to keep the t-shirt printing process simple -and in budget

If you'd like to to participate in this year's ride (and get one of their beautiful t-shirts) more information is available on their website:

Some more of Torro I, Thuh latest piece..

Gorgeous Monster: Ms. Premivarria of the Chewston tribe & her Screaming Meemees: Alto, Basil and Suprema.

Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.

After a struggle with my new tent, I had a nice time (despite the heat) at my first Las Cruces Farmers & Crafters Market this past Saturday. I've included pics of a couple of personal favorite pieces that I sold to people who really appreciated handmade artisan glass. I'll be at this Market again Saturday, August 30. #handmade #glass #lampwork #artglass #glassartist #studioglass #LasCruces #NewMexico #HotGlass #ArtYouCanWear #PastPresentArts #ChristofMaupin #NewMexicoArt #MastoArt

Volevo scrivere un post nel blog …ma dopo 5 righe mi fermo. La Capannina spegne la luce, n po’ troppe cose in balle per star dietro a tutti! I link per sapere cosa combino, i contatti sono ai soliti link. La porta è aperta e la luce dell’insegna è spenta, la riaccendo quando sarà il momento!( Meno post/spam)
