If you're in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and are keen to make some noise about the climate crisis on Friday, note that the young team of #SchoolStrikeforClimate have a protest march planned. They're starting at the Bridge of Remembrance at 1 PM.

My daughter is one of the organisers and she's worried that the turnout will be low this year as recently Meta locked them out of their Instagram account (they don't know why but expect it's because they expressed support for Palestinians). They started another Instagram account but don't have many followers.

(I've tried to convince them of the general excellence of Mastodon, but without any success, so far.)

Anyway, if you're a local, a boost would be appreciated, as would support from all ages on Friday. Thanks!

A poster advertising the School Strike for Climate march in Ōtautahi-Christchurch this Friday. On the poster there's a picture of a tree and a fern and an election ballot box, and it says "Are you voting for our futures this local election?". The school students organising the march have been pasting these posters up around the town.

Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight

The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil.

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION

Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that

are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"

"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.

"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling

nervously. One teeny monster mumbles

"I'm just following the others."

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

A strange crowd of monsters gather curiously around a small blue monster. They stare at it, with concern bordering on fear. A conversation is taking place about where they are going and why. — The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.
