The way Hergé (creator of Tintin) draws trees. It’s so charming. I want to work this into my own drawing style.
This photo is from a drawing he left in a guestbook while visiting Denmark. It’s on display at the royal library in Copenhagen.

Take a picture of one tree throughout the entirety of autumn . There is probably some coffee-table metaphor about how you change like the trees or something but I am just vain. It’s just beautiful and nice to keep tabs on one tree. I have a tree near my work. His name is Robert and he is mine. He is going through a ginger phase right now though I suspect that he soon will be bald. Read more in my latest substack article

if you live in melbourne (aus), find a nice spot in yarra bend park, watch the sunset, and stay a little longer to watch the bats making their nightly trek to get food. there are thousands & thousands of them right overhead. so insanely beautiful. bonus points right now cause the babies have just gotten old enough to join along and they are just the sweetest things.

smell is such a powerful way to connect to memories. I like to have a perfume that I use in each place I live/go on a longer holiday to; after leaving the place, I keep the perfume and smell it whenever I’m feeling nostalgic.
one perfume to one place to create a really strong connection.
for example, I got a cheap little cypressy perfume for a three week trip to greece and now I can just feel myself back there whenever I want. same thing for when I lived in denmark for a year, and different houses I’ve lived in in melbourne. really just so lovely
