‘Thomas’
How did I forget this one?! Just before we headed to the US, my glorious friend Tom suggested he loved the ‘Rowan’ hare print I posted, so of course I did him one of those, and also decided to cut and print him his very own matching bear as a thank you for accommodating us in Vermont 😁🐻

Things are happening but with an active social life and big pieces, it’s going a bit slower atm.
I’ve undertaken my biggest Lino print project to date and I’m making progress but also taking my time as I don’t want to mess it up (it’s for a charity).
I’m also working on a big painted piece that needs work and I have several little prints to get done and sold.
Hopefully we’ll see some finished items soon…

Halloween outfits! 🎃
Was I a cannibalistic witch that lived in Glastenbury woods in the famous Bennington Triangle? Was I bone warrior from a Mad Max-esque universe? Answers on a postcard because I sure as hell don’t know 😂 Edibles resulted in me having a fab time while looking pretty horrific, but taking zero photos 🤦🏻‍♀️ The regret is very real as everyone made such amazing effort 🥺
My husband looked great undead in a zombie outfit and sfx I made for him 🖤 Also, big love to my glorious fiends who travelled from the UK to share Halloween with us and absolutely nailed Lazlo and Nadja from WWDITS 🩸
The other photos are from Halloween itself; masks and accessories courtesy of Spirit Halloween. The neighbourhood appreciated it and we had a blast giving out candy, drinking beers with suspect horror noises and had some great hijinks and photo opportunities with the fall leaves and nearby cemetery 🪦🧟‍♂️ No editing has been done to the photos, that’s just how they turned out thanks to a valiant team effort to get the creepiest, most effective outcomes possible 😁🖤🎃
HUGE thanks to the inimitable Tom for hosting and making everything possible 🧡

I’ve had a few weeks off to travel around NY, Pennsylvania and New England for Halloween.
It’s been soul cleansing, but I also couldn’t not seek out some art! So here’s some highlights of the remarkable talent I saw on my travels, including ’s humbling ‘We Are All Homeless’ and ’s breathtaking ‘Humanizing The Homeless’ at the , community art for the election in Philly and 2 of Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculptures, Mark Porter’s Baphomet statue, a Basquiat, Dalis, Degas’ and Dorés next to amazing ‘As Above, So Below’ at , The Office murals in Scranton, countless amazing pieces of street art, model art, folk art, too many historical and modern art statues to count and even brewery art!

Long live art 🖤

Sold! 🖤
After posting my hare lino print, I had several enquiries about purchase, so this evening I packed them all up with custom note cards ready for shipping tomorrow.
Thank you to the purchasers! 🖤
Hoping I can put up a few more existing lino prints for sale in the coming weeks, so watch this space 👀

(Don’t worry, bigger, grotesque projects are in the works, they’re just not viewable yet 😬)

Unexpected day to myself so to start the Autumnal celebrations I linocut a woodland hare and printed it 4 colour ways.
More whimsical than I normally do, but it’s nice to relax sometimes and channel my inner Rowan Morrison 🍁🐇🍂

Last night at I had a great chat with an incredibly talented artist who was sketching with just a biro. The thought of no eraser, preliminary sketch or even a composition plan gave me anxiety… But tonight I had a go! Just sketch book, a biro & a desire to draw teeth 😁🦷
Thanks Harriet for the inspiration & confidence to try it. Much harder than you make it look! 🙌
