Yesterday I started a 'Learn to knit socks' course with two friends from my patchwork class. I have forgotten all I ever knew about knitting with DPN's (which wasn't a lot) so it was a *fun* first lesson.
I struggled big time to begin with and ended up having to rip everything off the needles and start again. But I managed it in the end.....and we have progress! LOL!
My homework for this week is to finish the rib section.

How do you measure progress? Is bigger always better and smaller always more powerful? Is human intervention always necessary, or do we evolve in any case? And is progress always a good thing? These are the questions being asked in Maarten Vanden Eynde´s Pinpointing Progress. In this sculpture he links several modern achievements with one another. At a certain moment, buses, mopeds, bicycles and radios were regarded as the most advanced technology. In the twentieth century these inventions were proudly exported by both the West and the USSR. It was a race to be the most advanced, which would confirm the superiority of an ideology. This sculpture was originally made for the Biennial of Riga in 2018, where today only the tiniest, uppermost item of the spear is produced, the transistor. In this way, Vanden Eynde´s tower visualizes the speed of evolution.
The construction of Pinpointing Progress refers to the town musicians of Bremen, the folk tale of the Brothers Grimm, in which four ageing and mistreated domestic animals join forces in order to escape from their wicked masters. The story attests to the poor working conditions and abuses that often seem to be the flip side of progress. Just think of the building works that Leopold II realized along the Belgian coast, such as the port of Zeebrugge, the coastal road and the station of Ostend. This king, whose misdeeds are among the worst atrocities in history, turned the coast into a region enjoying a global reputation. However, he accomplished this using the wealth he accumulated by exploiting the Congolese population. Today when we think of technological progress, we imagine the developments of tech giants such as Google or Apple, which in their quest for mineral ores in the Congo still make use of child slavery. Violations of human rights appear to be indissolubly linked to modernization. Pinpointing Progress cautiously draws up the balance and understands: one day, the Tower of the Progress might collapse again.

'Twasn't the best light, but I couldn't resist getting photos. After all, someone has been making progress!

Large commissioned charcoal (22" x 26"). This is how I usually begin a figurative drawing - sketch first in pencil then start in with the charcoal - eyes first.
Ex-LMSR 'Jubilee' No. 45699 'Galatea' restarts a charter working from a signal check on the last leg of it's journey into Shrewsbury station. The train is West Coast Railway Company's 1Z49 0552 Cleethorpes - Shrewsbury on 5th October 2013 which operated diesel-hauled to Crewe where 'Galatea' then took over for the remainder of the journey, working via Chester and Wrexham General. Many heads hang out of carriage windows to check progress, as the locomotive approaches the complex point work on the approach to the station.

Cruising through the countryside at Beamish Museum is this absolute masterpiece of motor car preservation, a 1901 four seater made by The Progress Cycle Co. of Coventry (UK) and registered M 115.
This priceless example of the 500 made by the company is believed to be one of only two remaining today.
The Progress Cycle Company made cars from 1898 until 1903. They also made motorcycles between 1900 and 1905.
The car was at Beamish for the Steam Gala event on 9/10 April 2022.

In the front is a bench with the wood removed to prevent homeless from sleeping on it. In the back you see brand new housing built. In between you see a homeless person asleep in the tall grass.
1 of the hands i am doing for "anything will help"
These hands will be sold at a discounted rate for the show. Immediately after, the ones that don't sell will be for sale at a venue in DC where they will be sold for double the price (which is what they usually go for).
If you wanted one, get it while you can from the Oregonized Gallery or my boy SKAMMY.
"Antique" vs. "Updated."
After nearly a *decade* tooling around SL in the equivalent of a well-maintained '57 Chevy, I'm finally taking steps to modernize my look, with the assistance of a *very* patient avatar/image consultant who is guiding me through the process. More to come later, as this is ~85% complete.
It should be noted that my goal is and always has been to keep as much of my original "form and look" as possible, and I think we're really close.
A lot of new apartment blocks going up in the Vauxhall area these days. Shame I can't afford a place in any of them ...

HUGE HUGS.
Hi Everyone. Long time! :) I missed you all immensely.
This photo here is symbolic. Quite a lot has been going on here. I've finally finished my engineering exams and only the last sem training is left now. Though I've a few more management entrace examinations to write.
BTW, some good news, I am an "Adobe Certified Expert" now. :) Also, I'm planning to open my corporate communications and creative designing firm with my old friend Vikas Pethiya in a few months so preparations are on for that too.
I hope you'd see more of me in the coming days and that I'd see some of the enthralling work that you guys are producing.
Hope your Christmas celebrations were grand and that you have a very happy new year too.
Love
