My 2nd podcast with MERE MORTALS!
In Conversation #84, Justin and I discuss: how he is finding an artistic outlet in plants, how technology changes the art scene, the various behaviours found in digital communities, why it’s valuable to have the ability to cold approach, finding a girl who isn’t just a cookie cutter template and the issues he was having with Patreon and DeviantArt.
Replaced every instance of these ugly handles in the apartment.
Replaced them with these simple black handles from Bunnings. Still might rip off the sliding mirror built-in wardrobe doors from the 2 spare rooms.
Ripped off 6 doors in total from the master walk-in wardrobe but have decided to leave the last 2 doors at the end, for now.
DO DRUGS (the whole pencil actually says “TOO COOL TO DO DRUGS”).
ALL BLACK ERRYTHANG!
Yes. I caved. The ultimate goal is to have a Queen Anthurium with huge perfect leaves as the only plant in the cabinet. I bought a baby queen a little while back, and it’s pushed out a new leaf, but it’ll be years before it gets to the size of this one.
Anthurium Clarinervium pushed out this cute new little leaf (how is this not heart shaped?!). It gets bigger every day. Fingers crossed it’ll be way bigger than the biggest leaf!
Alocasia Cuprea pushed out this amazing new leaf!
Late night internet shopping is nasty. I had seen this Queen Anthurium for sale over a month ago on Rootd Plants. It was the last of the batch that no-one wanted as the leaves on it looked pretty banged up, but late the other night I saw it was still there and I pulled the trigger on it. It came quick and was packed well. She’s definitely pretty beat up. They have very sensitive leaves which many who keep them say not to touch. A small mark on a small leaf will become a HUGE mark once the leaf gets big.
I have every single plant in the apartment growing in leca now except this queen. I’m nervous about moving her over, but at the same time I’m a little less nervous as she’s not the perfect specimen.
I stumbled upon these amazing plant trellis made by a brother and sister duo in the US. Love at first sight! I had to have the evil eye trellis! Viv is NUTS about the moon (and she has a lot of plants!) so I bought her the moon phase and sun, moon stars ones too. Visit: https://pineandsprout.com
Sitting perfectly on my coffee table.
What a perfect specimen from more plants.
Been up since 5am editing shots of the lovely Isla Fae.
I still enjoy shooting with girls who have become friends, but I’m struggling to find the motivation to edit the photos. For years I have delivered 40+ shots per shoot as I (and my models) needed the content for Patreon and OnlyFans, but going forwards I think I’ll just deliver 10 of my absolute fave shots from each shoot. I think this is the way!
Oops, more plants!
Facebook reminding me of the crap I used to deal with day in-day-out when I used to live on social media. SO MUCH MORE PEACE these days. I’m so thankful!

Viv left me the keys to her Audi for a couple of weeks. Vroom vroom!
IKEA unit for books and finally got around to hanging my Pirelli Calendar.

I was going to hang the TV on the wall but then I came across this Entertainment Unit from RJ Living.
