Grapefruit gnats!

Abort, refry, kale

The black and white stripy things are peppermint flavoured. You'd think they'd call them zebramints but no, we're going with humbugs. I dunno. It's not a bug and it's not humming. Pretty rubbish imagination going on there, people who name things.

No, I'm not going to research the etymology of humbug. Who am I? Shakespeare? The Entomology though, now that's worth looking into. Peppermint bugs! Breed something tasty into the little critters, crunchy minty flying snacks! Nature's lollies! You just know that this is where the science is going.

Because we need to feed a growing human population we're going to need more sources of food. It's only a matter of time before we're scoffing down an aniseed ant or bug burger. Carrot caterpillars! OMG how long can I do this? Dixie dragonfly! Energy earwigs! Hahah that's disgusting. FAIRY FLOSS FLIES ok i stop now

This edition's image is taken from a short video I created showing me constructing four stretcher bars into a frame before attaching a canvas. Not shown in the video is me removing the canvas and attaching a new one. (The first one had a crease that I couldn't stretch out.) I could just buy a shop canvas, but by stretching my own canvases I'm slowly using up the MASSIVE ROLL of canvas I bought several years ago from an art shop that was shutting down. It was an investment. See you next time!
