Taking a bit of a detour into abstraction today.
Having decided that in 2026 some of my art will be dedicated to processing the changes in the world around me, and that this is a separate thread of some of my other work that focusses more on the end image of design.
This work is simply to express and explore visually some theme, it is about the process.
This morning the theme of "Hope in Uncertainy", enjoy

One way to start a day is to ask for a coffe the way you like it most — and have the idea received and even improved by the barista.
I present this beauty from Toro Coffee in Glasgow.

Had a delightful Gluten-Free Blueberry whole grain muffin and #pausecafé at Ottoman Coffee House in Glasgow yesterday. This team knows how to create some magical atmosphere and treats.

👾🌊 Everything = cycles / everything = waves. Right now, we're in a wave of a new high of #automation : machines replacing humans / robotics replacing #empathy
What should be cohesive is dualistic diatribe.
Don't let it crush you.
Others also feel it.
Not all change is positive.
Others also wonder why we would offer up our #humanity in exchange for bland, faceless speed.
Breathe.
We are all part of the problem.
We are all part of the solution.
Pete Seeger passed away eleven years ago today, here is an illustration I made to commemorate..
He made the worker’s song “Solidarity Forever” popular in the 1960’s, with a variation on the original, which was written by Ralph Chaplin in 1915, using a folk melody of the day.
His songs and presence were timeless and well worth a listen today.

Exploring the impact of #StormÉowyn in the park.
The birds seemed disoriented, still finding their feet and wings the day after. Many trees fallen. 💕 to all who are feeling the impact.

#ImageDescription A Weimeraner dog gazes across a branch-covered path in Pollok park in Glasgow. Two orange construction cones cover the edge of the path, and a fallen tree blocks part of the path ahead. A black Spaniel dog looks on from nearer the viewer.
