Last updated October 3rd 2026This page was inspired by sive.rs/now3 by Derek Sivers ~ which I came across via issue #13 of the Own Your Web newsletter by Matthias Ott. Have a look to find out more ツ And check out the people on nownownow.com.

Current focus: creative outlet
Making time for new pieces for terranostra.life – painting abstract images based on the topic of nature and trees, shared online via @humanum@mastodon.art.
New design for the creative spot is complete ~ this site aims to celebrate creativity and encourage doodling as a means of staying sane amidst the overload of every day. Tweaks and new content still & always in progress ツ
NOTE: this is my mental break from work, escaping into art and colour. Artwork created with Krita (my favourite: the most wonderful open source fine art app).
