My deepest gratitude goes out to the #Mastodon community, a #community that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. It’s unlike any other “social media platform” here.

Today I will quietly celebrate the fact that over four thousand people have chosen to follow along, chuckle at the #puns, groan at the #dadjokes, and comment on my random musings.

Big shoutout to my #Dgarhead followers who are listening to and boosting my songs! You are truly amazing people and my heart feels like it’s going to explode from my chest when I think about the amazing support and love you have given me in your toots and comments.

The reception from everyone has been wonderful acceptance, and my entire experience here has been truly humbling.

Massive big huge love to you all, and as always,

Why are we, or some of us, attracted to abstract art? This is the type of art that breaks almost all the art rules. So what’s the attraction? I believe that both, the artist and the viewer, can find their ultimate freedom of self-expression. And, both, can find their own ways to recharge their positive energy. My paintings may appear busy and cluttered (resembling daily lives), but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Ever wondered why people buy art? I did for a very long time. I asked many people and there are many studies about the reasons why people buy art. It was no surprise that the majority of people buy art because of its powerful emotional connection. Simply put, art can arouse particular and personal emotional values. That’s the true beauty of art. Thank you for supporting artists.

The wall in the background is decorated on the left with six long narrow pieces of pinewood in equal spaces between them. On the right side there is a large vertical abstract painting in subtle earthy colours with light coloured brushstrokes in the upper centre.

I always believe that abstract art, or any other type of art, is much more than just a piece of decoration in a living room. It should add something special to recharge our energy and mind.
I wrote my thoughts about it in this blog:

Some people almost always seem happy, no matter what happens. A long time ago, I started to pay attention to some of the little things that I found joyful. You might find this funny, but a cup of tea or cheese on toast always brings a joyful smile. The best joy of all is painting abstract, no doubt about it. What makes you happy?

The Mastodon community is so accepting, supportive, and generous. As a tooter with quite a few awesome people following me, one of the ways I try to add value to the community is to help others find their people. With this in mind, I tend to boost every introduction toot I see. I may also do this upon request.

"Presumptive Follow."

My follow/followback 'policy' here is not the one I used on #Birdsite.

Here I follow/followback as many people as I can (on 'face value') and unfollow later if they turn out to have racist/neo-NAZI (etc. etc.) tendencies.

Is that a good scheme?

How do you do it/decide?

Is there a link between #theosophy and abstract art? #Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), one of the pioneers of abstract art, who is also considered by many to be the first abstract artist in the West, created several magnificent abstract paintings inspired by #spiritual forces, as she claimed.

An interesting subject. Any thoughts about it?

The first day of spring is officially on 20th March in the Northern Hemisphere. That’s next week, but it doesn’t look very promising at all here in the UK, particularly today. A bit depressing. So, I’m turning to abstract art for a time of peace and reflection.

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!

🤠 Howdy #fediverse friends. If you're new here, you're probably looking for new people to #follow. A few #tips that might help:

Apps that scan your Twitter following/followers and find them on the fediverse (for some, you'll need to download a file, then upload to your Mastodon account):

https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

I post about the research/implementation I do & the things I build during that process! I’m also interested in learning more from others on this topic! Previously, I was posting from my personal account ( @is_googling@mas.to ), but now I’ll be posting here. Nice to meet ya!

My feed's been a little heavy lately, and I need to lighten it up. Who are some of your favorite upbeat accounts to #follow for #funny stuff / #jokes / #memes, #videogames, #tech, #nerd stuff, #art, #music, etc.?

#FollowFriday

@parkermolloy my take on a world without #recommendation #algorithms is
- #follow #people or #topics that interest you
- #boost posts you think are worth boosting
- #respond when you feel you will add something to the #conversation
- #post what you find interesting

If people choose to follow you, that is great. But even if they don’t, the points above means that you can still #enjoy your experience here.

Trying to fit into any new #community, especially a #SocialMedia one, can initially overwhelming, so I have a challenge to anyone really wanting the #fediverse to grow -

When you see a #NewUser migrate here (usually via #Mastodon) and really try to become part of this community, send them a nice little "welcome" message

If they respond back kindly #follow them and give them a few words of encouragement and offer a bit of knowledge on how they can hit the ground running

Can't hurt right?
