"Lighting in a Bottle" (quick sketch) — Digital, cartoon-style rough sketch of a transparent glass bottle, capped by a cork, inside the bottle are some lighning emanating from some clouds.
(Putting the image description here, since the Diaspora software front-end doesn't seem to provide any way to put an image description to uploaded images, that I can seem to find. And since I already have the image description in my clipboard cache anyway, from typing it up for my Pixelfed and Mastodon.Cloud.)

"Russian Soldier chatting with Ukrainian Civilian" (2022 draft sketch)
A little something I'm working on...
Based on a little exchange in the middle of a Ukrainian highway, between a Ukrainian guy and a Russian tank soldier about a week ago...
In the Sumy region, close to the border with Russia, a local resident came across an extraordinary sight. On a country road lined with birch trees, a Russian armoured vehicle had broken down.
He pulled up in his car and stopped. There was a surreal conversation.
"looks like you guys broke down," he said to three Russian soldiers, standing by the road. "We ran out of fuel," one replied. "Can I tow you back to Russia?" he joked. They laughed and asked him for news. "Do you know where you are going?" he inquired. "No," they answered.
As I'd written last week, I do wish that more, if not all, encounters between Russian invasion-force soldiers and Ukrainian civilians would go like this…
Also I think somebody should write some sort of play-script/theatrical dialogue of this meeting; compare & contrast the nonviolent meeting & dialogue between the two parties on the side of the highway; compare & contrast it with the bombings & kinetic collisions happening elsewhere at the same time around Ukraine…

"Serve what?" (Sept. 2021)
A few days ago I encountered a moodboard-pic with the following text:
“Artists are not like athletes. We cannot win gold. We cannot ‘beat’ other creatives. We cannot come first. Sport is objective. Our craft is subjective. Creating to ‘be the best’ is a waste of energy. Instead, create to connect to the people who need you. Because they're out there. Create in your way, because there is no right way. Take the pressure off, and focus on your unique brand of magic.”
Now I do not disagree with it, but it did get me thinking, what kind of art do people need me for? What am I supposed to serve?
So I thought of a spatula serving a question mark. And that's it, that's all it is. The question, "Serve what?"
