We like #turkey in #Canada very much... & a month and a half earlier! 😉🦃
As far as most people who eat meat are concerned, they like turkey, but as long as someone else is cooking it simply because of the effort required. Yet again, another aspect of common life experiences in which JD has no clue.

I find it especially weird that explicitly pornographic acts are not tagged on #Bluesky but photos like this are. More hypocrisy to deal with....

In 2017, I became fascinated w/ making #graphicdesign work that looked like #archival documents. Here, I used the DVD liner notes of #DogDayAfternoon & made this #design. The #typography uses a typewriter #font w/ alt. letter forms & 1 hand-printed font is based on the Zodiac killer. #TCMParty 🎬🎨

Cool location & benches. Where is this? Your hair in this photo creates a really cool shape flared out too.

While I was debating over the various crop possibilities of one of my own shots before posting, I made this edit / tighter framing of your photo. I can understand why people get annoyed w/ this kind of thing, but I also believe it 2B a good exercise in the creative process w/ others you trust. #art

Here is one example of many which share a very similar approach to depicting the human form in a more 18th Century styling using fine, textured line work & desaturated coloring.
