On our trek through the Sierra del Escambray we came upon this remote farm house where they keep some pigs and chickens.
The farmers here were very friendly, offering us some fruit they'd collected from the surrounding trees.
Day eighty-two of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Yesterday's drawing is a bit wonky.
Just like life, eh?
Yesterday was calmer. Flat but calm after an emotional early morning.
Working for myself has many advantages. Amongst others, if I need to take time out for self-care, I can. And I don't need to explain it to anyone. I don't need to justify it. Excuse it. Or have an awkward personal conversation with someone I know doesn't care about me beyond the service I provide, the work I do.
I did some paid work yesterday, but I didn't have to drag a tired, emotional wreck to the desk first thing. I didn't have to worry about my manager grilling me for logging on half a second late.
I don't miss that kind of working environment. Where your bum being on a seat and fitting your real life into strict time schedules is rated higher than the work you deliver or the care you take in your job.
Let's not even start on the bullying, chauvinism, sexism and racism (the last aimed at others, not me) endured within working hours in many of my past roles. I don't miss those things at all.
So yesterday I worked as much as I could manage. Outside of that, I looked after my heart and my mind.
I winced to see damage to my youngest avocado plant today. I can only presume it was caused by the candle I lit close (but not that close) the night before to stave off the darkness of the power outage.
Later in the day, I drew my old-school Apple remote that, unfortunately, no longer works with any of my devices.
I used a 4H pencil for the initial sketch, then overdrew with a B pencil for the darker elements and shading, and an HB pencil for the rest of the outline.
Despite sketching it in plenty of time to post before midnight, I prioritised editing prospective photos for the next instalment of my long-overdue Love letters to London series.
As much as I enjoy partaking in The 100 Day Project, it can become a bit all-consuming. Especially while working part or full-time.
When I signed up for this year's project, I didn't have many commitments. So that, and other new projects, like my 'Love letters...' were no big deal to manage. But on top of paid work and life right now, it was probably a bit ambitious, in retrospect.
And the "loser" in this situation is my photography. Which makes me unhappy, as you may imagine.
I'm sure I'll write more about this in my wrap-up post once the project is complete.
That doesn't mean I have plans to "phone it in" for the rest of the project (though some of you may be wondering!) It just means that sometimes I'm choosing more simplistic subjects to take things back to basics and reduce the time commitment each day. I'm still learning with each sketch.
And I actually have more elaborate ideas for sketches once the project is complete and my sketching becomes less time-bound. Again, I'll save those thoughts for the end of project wrap-up.
I actually have some of my favourite objects in the queue to draw in the next week. So please bear with me.
Meanwhile, I hope you're all doing okay. Sending you love, if you need it. Or even if you think you don't. xx

DeSIRE test flight on 24 April 2013.
The DeSIRE (Demonstration of Satellites enabling the Insertion of RPAS in Europe) demonstration project is a joint ESA-EDA initiative carried out by an international consortium led by Indra. It is aimed at demonstrating the safe insertion of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in non-segregated airspace using satellites capabilities for RPAS command and control, ATC communications and Mission data transfer to ground, in order to satisfy the needs of potential user communities. The demonstration is carried out in Spain through several flights using a RPAS (Heron 1) providing airborne maritime surveillance services to the Spanish Users involved in the project.

Using Apple's remote app for the iPhone I can now control the audio and video in the home using the phone. In the kitchen but the kids want a new movie upstairs... not an issue. Having a party and want to switch up the music... just do it!
I still have to keep the Harmony around as the remote app doesn't launch Boxee.
The gulls weren't long ascending to pecking distance of our picnic at the monastery on Skellig Michael.
This aggressive one managed to steal my half eaten sandwich just after I got this shot!

A beautiful, remote and culturally rich country infamous for its military regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making small steps towards democracy, with the first democratically elected government in 2015, after more than half a century.
Modern conveniences, such as mobile-phone coverage and internet access, are now common, however for all the recent changes, Myanmar remains at heart a rural nation of traditional values - though one may have hard time to find someone among the younger generation without a smartphone or Facebook profile.
One will still encounter men wearing the sarong-like longyi and chewing betel nut, spitting the blood-red juice onto the ground, women with faces smothered in thanakha (a natural sunblock), and cheroot-smoking grannies. Trishaws still ply city streets, while the horse or bullock and cart is common rural transport.

We carefully planned our 3-weeks long Burmese adventure around 6-days long hiking trip in the remote Chin state, where we commenced our journey in the hilltop settlement of Mindat, and subsequently hiked for four days across ethnic minority villages using old footpaths and mule trails.
Besides that, Bagan was the obvious spot to spend a few days exploring its temples, and we also spent a few days more in the south around Hpa-An. Then, finally, Ngapali was the ultimate destination for our beach leisure time.

Here are my 4 pieces for the new show at OhNo!Doom Gallery in Chicago - it's opening on February 11th and it's called:
"Super Button Mashers: A gamer tribute @ OhNo!Arcade": A video game theme carnival of crazy!
This show is curated by Mr. Max Bare and was brought to our Plushteamers' attention by the fabulous miss Lana Crooks :)
I decided to go old school for this and did a Pong arcade game plush, a Frogger climbing up its log, a couple ghosts with Mr. PacMan and a plush remote with the famous Konami code on it!
I hope you will be able to go see the show in person. Pass the word around, it's going to be awesome!
Cheers,
Hibou
Early spring family wilderness canoe trip to northern Ontario, Canada just after the winter ice has melted on an overcast day with light blowing snow.
When flying I usually book the window seat. Although I am pretty tall I always prefer to squeeze into the window seat in order to enjoy the view outside. While for the most time this is rather boring, sometimes it all fits. Nice soft light and amazing landscape patterns.
This place below is somewhere in the middle of Newfoundland, Canada on a flight to Newark. It's so remote that I could not even find a street close by. So I wonder how many humans have ever visited this place.

I considered repurposing a nano case for the remote. zCover also sells a case made specifically for the remote.
