3 more small artworks I’ve taken an age to share. These are by Charlotte Farmer, based in Bath, UK. These pics don’t pick up the vibrancy of the colours, as they contain lumos, absolutely beautiful work.

Looking at her etsy, I see a Tunnocks teacake and a Caramel bar print that are now on my must have list.

Marcy and Ollie had lots of beach fun today. It was cold and foggy, a perfect respite from the heat inland.

Many years ago i found a ‘list of items for a grand house in mourning’, on it were things like black velvet drapes etc and also a butter dish in the shape of a skull that moulds the butter inside in to a brain.

I feel like this was maybe a Perec thing, or something published by Atlas Press or someone like that.
Anyone know who wrote it or where it’s from?

Forgetting the contents of Apple's 100 Best Albums.
This is an hilarious example of Marketing team and Product team not seeing eye to eye. This panel shows up next to panels for albums I can instantly stream, but the list is not inside the app, so I can't play the albums there. I have to go to the website, sign in blah blah blah.
There's not even a playlist in the app. It's just a horrible, empty husk of an acquisition mechanic. Who knew Apple music could get any worse 🤷‍♂️

Anyone got any recommendations for a non subscription alternative to Adobe Lightroom (Mac), don't mind paying for it but not forever - ideally with some kind of import?

Got to love a restaurant that brings the bill in a children’s book - we had the pork belly. I wonder if they have a rabbit dish? #beatrixpotter #bookuse

Maybe I am overthinking this, but feels like some top notch passive aggressive branding

another high drama #sunrise over the bay this morning. Check out that #marinelayer

panoramic view of sunrise over the San Rafael, Richmond bridge. With a thin strip of golden dawn light trapped between a dark foreground and brooding, heavy marine layer cloud.
