Our second #ambulance car is en route to #ukraine this week. A fantastic #signwritting job once again by @signosaurusuk based in #lewes #uk - Will be put straight to work as soon as it arrives. (at Lewes, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cexm52yttFw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
What I mean is, do you visualize your hands from your own perspective, or do you visualize yourself like in a (flipped?) mirror? Also, is your visualization very abstracted/‘unrendered’ or does it really look like you? (If you’re trans, has the way you visualize yourself changed when you started transitioning?) If you happen to be literate in a sign language (like, if you know SignWriting or something), do you perhaps visualize your thoughts as written text?
Because the antitrans activists have put this idea in my head, by constantly repeating their mantra of "Groomed drugged mutilated sterilised groomed drugged mutilated sterilised groomed drugged mutilated sterilised" (sidenote- I have never in any other circumstance seen "drugged" used for something that isn't psychoactive. You'd never say "He was drugged with ibuprofen."
But I want to reclaim it, like how we reclaimed PERVERT and CORRUPTER OF THE YOUTH a dozen other words which were absolutely as much of a "serious" allegation as GROOMER is. Yes, shockingly- When I meet a kid who is flailing around and thinking of themselves as a sufferer of gender identity disorder or of same-sex-attractions, I want to show them that they can be queer and trans and gay and bi instead. Frankly, just like how many cishets will take a child and encourage them to be cisgendered and gender-conforming and heterosexual and heteroromantic.
High winds this morning, so turning the boat around in the dock was an achievement in itself - lots of people cursing and fending off approaching hulls with their feet. But we did it, and now the other half is facing the walkway and available to be got at with power tools.
As promised, a before and after shot :)
Before - the miserable grey, black and red livery of Drake's Drum
After - the aqua, silver and purple livery (with eel) of The Drake's Return.
The lettering all signwritten by me over the weekend, and the eel put on freehand.
Other side still to sand and paint. Also we'll be sanding and painting inside the fresh water tank. So we won't be finished in another week, but two more weeks might do it.

Speed test! Using as few colours as possible and working quickly, instead of my usual lot of putting on a colour then letting it dry for a day, then doing the next one etc. So all that's left is the white infill and straightening up on the OPEN LATE and picking a colour for the SAUNA itself.
I wanted this to be punchy and bright- the inspiration was one of those spinning signs like you get at car washes, but which said "SAUNA OPEN/LATE" which used to be outside of the bathhouse I went to as a teenager.
So, that was about 2 hours for that layer, including washing the brushes and mixing paint.
I'm coming towards maybe £50 for an A3 sign, assuming that the remaining layers take about the same amount of time.
