I love your style. Nice economy of line, selective colour… I’ve gone back through a few of your posts and you have real talent! Keep it up :)

Interesting.

I asked because people have always perceived me as 10yrs younger, which has a lot of advantages.

Even now, in my 50s, people think I’m in my early 40s.

I too was insanely active, all the time. To the point where I have so many injuries from high risk sports a doctor said I’d technically qualify as disabled.

Less active now (I can’t run as I could) so I expect I’ll be putting on weight soon.

I frankly never expected to reach this age, was convinced I’d die young. Still a bit surprised by my own stamina - but having kids ages you a bit, and also keeps you active so it balances out.

How has that turned out for you in later life? Do you look older than people your age or does it make no difference? Do you think it helped you in any ways?

I just want to say, to no one in particular…

Our ‘home’ MacBook was end of life / support recently (2017 intel). I backed up then nuked the OS and replaced it with Mint/Cinnamon.

My wife (who is very definitely NOT technical in any way) has embraced this and carried on with no issues so far, with FF and LibreOffice. It’s been nearly 6mo and no home IT support required.

Edit: I think the point I’m trying to make is: if she can crack on with most regular tasks that really boil down to browser + office tools, and not be overly bothered about what the OS is, then there’s hope for people to migrate - especially with how distros have become so accessible of late.

I’m guessing here, but did you use a brush pen, mark the lines and then use pastels?

Very skilled. It’s a really nice style.
