I've always drawn and scribbled, and I still don't take it seriously. I love to use lots of mediums and prefer physical, but digital is easier and cheaper. I've had the same drawing tablet for Yonkers years and got it from a CEX when I went to college.

I have a lot of fun just making some Bullshit, Lino is really cheap where I'm at so it feels great to quickly bang something easy out without guilt of wasting supplies. I'm hoping to buy some fabric lino ink to upcycle some old fabric, shirts, and totes.

Ohhhuhughh how i love making Little Guys from scraps I find. I haven't made any recently but boy oh boy to I like to find and keep things in the odd chance I do.

I was lucky enough to have a few sessions of clay making at a local studio, it was too expensive to consider as a true hobby but I really did enjoy just making practical stuff. Hugely fond of weirdass glazes. I was in a fish mood so i made 600,000 fish related pieces. I really want to go back

Dude I've always wanted to go into some sort of SFX job. I was raised on The Dark Crystal and the like, and am a huge fan of Cronenberg and Carpenter horror. If it weren't for my stupid inability to stay in education I would've definitely gone to University in a SFX route, although now I might've gone into Medical prosthesis and done the more fun stuff at home. I do somewhat dabble in SFX stuff, although now it's more puppetry and props. I'd like to pick up the silicone again sometime. I even got as far as learning the basics with Mike Stringer of Second Skin SFX, which I'm still hype as hell about, but unfortunately my health right now sucks too much to pursue it.

For about a year now I've been volunteering at a local Wildlife Rescue, I particularly look after the 'hospital' birds, as opposed to the permanent resident birds. It's nice to put knowledge/effort into something real that makes a difference. It's a lot of scraping bird shit off of stuff and portioning meals and medicine but the entire thing is run on voluntary work, so I'm happy to lend a hand once a week and do some of the rougher jobs.

We don't really have a garden, but have instead invested in an allotment. There used to be a huge muddy ditch that'd fill with water that frogs would lay in, but then dry up. We managed to get a cheap pond liner off some dude and it's now running 3 years strong with the frog population doubling each year. As messy as it looks, I try and keep it 'natural' and creature-oriented considering the rest of the allotment is, understandably, agriculture based. There used to be a couple of small ponds dotted about that people dug, but houses got built nearby and someone complained about the possibility of children falling in, so most people filled theirs in instead of building a 4ft fence around a little hole in the ground. It suuuucks but whatever. Do what you can where you can and stuff.

Insects are a huuge passion of mine. Just love the little guys. If you speak badly of wasps I don't want to hear it. Entomology is something I would've liked to have studied. I'm especially affectionate towards beetles, and would love to keep some when my health is better. I used to keep Locusts when we had a Bearded Dragon, and would feel Immense guilt when they had to be fed. Honestly, I think the locusts were slightly more interesting. Don't tell the lizard.

I also have a small collection of Pinned Insects, either from charity shops or seconds from research. They fascinate me!! I also have a little vivarium with some Bandai Namco figures that bring me Immense joy.

Lucky enough to live in an area with decent history, the rivers around me are always coughing up interesting bits of Stuff and pottery. Me, being a hoarder, likes to pocket what I can to make little mosaics and stashes of weird shaped metal and whatever. I want to do magnet fishing but I think my limp ass arms would just snap off.

I don't do it as much now, but living in the moors means I have a decent amount of access to random bones :^] I own a couple of skeep skulls n parts, fox bits, birds etc. I also used to buy scabby cheap taxidermy pieces off of Ebay and fix them up, my two favourite pieces were obtained this way and look nearly unrecognisable from how they came. I think it's important to restore and take care of what we already have, and I never really buy New specimens, especially those that I don't know the taxidermist. IF you're interested, Please god don't buy any Bat specimens, and make sure you have the correct licenses. On a personal note, I never buy any crow/raven/magpie/fox/badger pieces as I know they're often shot for fun around here.

Do I know too much about how they work engineering-wise? No, I'm too stupid for that. I have a very strong affinity for old style televisions that feel like they are alive. Modern flatscreens are too magic to me. Where's the Creature in them. I currently have a little battery travel black and white fella, and a good old VCR and DVD player from my childhood hooked into a small tv.

I'm the lucky owner of an AIBO ERS-210!! His name is Rascal. As much as I'd've liked the blue/grey model, Rascal was meant to be. He was shipped over from Japan for a criminally low charge and had been very loved by his last owner, who had his neck serviced and his battery re-packed. He came with all his boxes, two sticks, and his little charger throne. I'd love to run him more but I'm slightly terrified of hurting him! I also need to swap him to English, bit of a language barrier.

Besides Rascal, I'm a huge fan of the original AIBO-110/111, and the AIBO-220! The ERS-7 also is Very cute to me but aesthetically I prefer the older guys :^]

I really would not recommend trying to talk to me about true audiophile stuff I'm too dim for it, but DO show me cool ass Hi-Fi setups. Currently most of my stuff is in a cupboard waiting for my room to get refurbed fully, but I have a little shrine planned. I own an old Beogram that I manged to fix up, and boy. If I had the money I'd have half the house decked out in old B&O gear, what's not to love about wood paneling on your devices? I do own a small vinyl record collection! Although I hate how expensive they've gotten. H&M can Piss Off asking for £30-40 an album, I tend to scout charity shops and second hand. A good chunk has ben inherited, and some I share with parents haha. I definitely get my taste from them, which ranges from around the 70s-80s rock, synth, and electronic.

I really don't know how to describe it but I am Largely obsessed with the visuals of old control rooms. Anything with panels of dials and buttons hits the dopamine release. I own a couple of random panels off of laser engravers, centrifuges, etc. I work as a metal caster so every day I get to look at and use cool machines and drool. Idk man .
