My wife: “Can you pop to the shop and get some crap for a picky tea if you get the chance?” Me:

For reference, the field actually looks like this….

Stupid AI bullshit gets in everywhere whether you want it or not. Look at this fake slop that my wife’s phone camera automatically shoved into photos of a pony in a field.

A photo of a white pony in a field. The field has been automatically AI “enhanced” against the photographers wishes, turning it to imaginary slop.

A close up of the “field” as rendered by stupid, unsolicited AI intervention.

If you see this, post a vampire who isn’t Dracula.

My German shepherd is obsessed with armpits. Loves human ones and placing your hand on his, is the only thing that truly calms him. Little freak.

In a departure from all the *gestures at everything”, here’s some pictures from over 30 years ago, of me in drag, winning a caravan park beauty pageant.

An old film photo of a dimly lit stage, with a man in a black shirt and trousers, interviewing a man in a straw hat, slinky brown dress and cream jacket.

I’ve been nominated for this year’s shaper of the year awards in Wavelength magazine’s awards thingy. If you fancy casting a vote for the only eco shaper on the list and a massive underdog, check out the link form.typeform.com/to/p4Uo86Cz?... and put “BandWagon” in the shortboard shaper category! 🙏🏽❤️

These job adverts really get me.

Lovely corners.

Post a tree that you photographed. Lichen covered Hawthorn, stood alone on Bodmin Moor.

A wind blown, leafless Hawthorn tree, covered in drifting fronds of lichen and surrounded by marsh.

One girl and her dog.

A teeny dab of red food colouring and some skull moulds. Proper ice cubes for my rum.

This is going to be my (oversized) puppy’s first Christmas..

Looks like the 90s are back….

I dropped a bit of cold roast potato that sort of looks like a little chick.

This bit of slightly different grey/blue is the little bit of sea I can sea from my house. It has a disproportionately positive effect on my brain.

Lots of red arrows pointing at the vague glimpse of ocean from my window.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen 5G come up on my phone. I live in North Cornwall and it’s pretty much WiFi or E unless I stand on the roof with an antenna on my head. Still get charged for 5G, obviously. This is from the best place in my house for mobile signal….

A screenshot from my phone with the poor signal highlighted in red.

Me and my tiny, 7 month old puppy. 😮

Although it has made for a lovely soft floor.

Trying to make a surfboard out of a 140lb slab of redwood.

A big piece of rough carved redwood in my shaping bay, with an electric planer sat on top of it and wood shavings all over the floor.

Designed and made an eco-flex skateboard deck for a new startup. Natural, strong and twangy. Like a Cornish farmer in suspenders.

Cute little “80’s beach vibe” inspired Paipo for a customer’s 50th Birthday present. Always tense making surprise boards for people as a big chunk of my consultation and design process simply can’t happen. Hopefully he likes it.

Without wanting to sound all “Trump-ey”, Do you want to see some puppies?
