The Stochastic Game

Every brush stroke is full of doubt and struggle but I managed to get half-way through this painting without rage quitting! Yay. A piece for an upcoming colonial Canada-era Call of Cthulhu scenario.

It’s funny to watch people be mad at South Park: conservatives who wrongly thought it was “on their side”, and liberals who take it too personally. I’m a big-ass socialist/green and I find the show hilarious. Parker & Stone are just assholes who will be mean to anybody, and that’s why I like it.

Early morning walks are nicely gloomy at this time of year.

The good boy is tired, so time for a nap. My dog too.

I’m sad to hear that “Poker Face” is cancelled. It was a semi-misguided homage to Columbo, with “investigation” parts that were often pretty short and disappointing, but the characters and dialogues were always top-notch.

A nice primer about Canadian oil and gas pipelines, courtesy of the Narwhal.

“The Fall of Icarus”. Stunning photography.

My current art process is to make a sketch, be decently happy with it, start painting it, find it ugly as fuck, try to paint it again, find it even uglier, then rage quit and just ink it in black and white. I just don’t understand colour.

Find the golden retriever!

Carney keeps announcing “national-interest” major projects but they’re still all private industrial projects. Nothing that directly serves Canadians like passenger trains, urban infrastructure, hospitals, affordable housing, etc. You can tell who he keeps in mind, and who he doesn’t.
