So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Hi all
As some here may know I have recently moved across to the Mac OS environment. It’s early days but so far so good - super fast and smooth operation, slick interface, etc. It’s not been without some hair pulling and frustration though, mainly down to different keyboard shortcuts and getting to grips with things like ‘Finder’, the equivalent to Windows file explorer.
I’ve installed the Affinity apps and few other tools and resources, and now all setup for my new graphical adventure. I’m only a hobbyist, but I do have some grandiose ideas for the future! ;-)
Anyhow, I’m in the process of going through old Windows hard drives and came across a folder full of bitmap copies of .xar files. Some of the images were created solely for the monthly TG scribble challenge.
I still have my Windows laptop handy but to build up muscle memory, I’ll mostly be immersing myself in my new setup from now on. I'll still pop back for the monthly scribble challenge as that’s not app/platform specific, and probably post the odd (frog) photo or two! I also want to keep tabs on Ernie's Dürer drawing (hope he's ok with the terrible floods).
So without further ado, here are a few final fishy related doodles arranged in a grid format.
I'll raise a glass to you all. All the best and au revoir - bye for now!

It's been a barrel of laughs. And fish. Good luck, Jon. Thought his all sounds kinda fishy.
Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!

I remember your Windows box was a bit sluggish.. ..how's the Mac in comparison?
Your artwork is fantastic.

Hi Jono,
I wish You luck in your new OS environment.
I bouht in 12/2020 the most powerfull AND (treadripper) was able to buy. So nothing is slagish and may memory is build to the max.
But thank your for your compassion.
Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Good luck Jono you will be missed, I always enjoyed seeing what you came up with.
Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Sorry to see you go, Jonopen but good luck with your Mac and the Affinity suite!
Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Jono, sorry to see you go. I'll miss your art. Love the fish. Enjoy the Mac.

I think the M1 launch has hit parallels in the pocket.
Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish!
I think you are right
It was something I noticed when I was looking at mac pro recently [and buying lottery tickets :D]
