Ingrid-Silvia EriksonThis #cat named Kratu was left in front of my partner's apartment complex door as a kitten many years ago on a cold, cold winter morning and they decided to take him in. He lived a happy life. ❤️

✨PROGRESS!✨
Turns out the 8B lead I was using for the darkest details was utter crap and hardly beyond 3 or 4B. I tried a thick 6B graphite bar, applying it with a blending stump. What a difference.

Fresh as Cobble@gtbarry more info: https://stateofsurveillance.org/news/draft-ice-confirms-graphite-spyware-active-use-congressional-letter-2026/
"ICE told Congress it uses spyware that reads encrypted messages. It told Congress this is about fentanyl. It did not tell Congress who it's targeting, how often, under what legal authority, or whether Americans' phones are being hacked.
The same spyware was used against journalists covering refugee rescues. The company that made it is now owned by a U.S. private equity firm."
ICE Just Admitted It Uses Spyware That Reads Encrypted Messages - State of Surveillance
In an April 1 letter to Congress, ICE confirmed for the first time that it actively deploys Paragon Graphite spyware — a zero-click tool that reads Signal and WhatsApp messages without the target clicking anything.

This cat's stare- it feels like the cat is staring into your soul. I wonder what he sees?

Wow, #Graphite has come a long way:
Graphite is an open source vector #graphics #editor and #animation engine, written in #Rust which is on its way to a first beta release! Super exciting! 
When you scroll down a bit on their website, they show off some of their recently added features in a video (my facial expression during the whole duration of the video: 😮).
What a bunch of creative folks! 
gtbarryICE acknowledges it is using powerful spyware
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using spyware tools that can intercept encrypted messages. the agency potentially uses spyware Graphite, created by Israeli company, Paragon Solutions.

Looking for explanations…This is my second self portrait pencil sketch, which I whipped up over the course of about 4.5 hours.
