Flipping through some old work tonight. A little mothman in his autumn sweater.

There are good books and them there are books the genuinely shift the mind. This was one of the latter.

A library copy of Ta Nehisi Coates', "Between the World and Me" held in a pale woman's left hand. The cover has a distressed look to the text like sun worn paint on a brick building.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀

An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

No more putting myself down, I can illustrate/be creative and I will make new work. It’s gonna take some time but I will climb out of this.

A black & white pen and printing ink illustration on white paper of a large Victorian house on a small island surrounded by an estuary. Misty and atmospheric. A figure stands in front of the house.

A watercolour, pen and acrylic illustration of a New York corner. Red brick buildings lit by sunlight create strong angular shapes. A man in a white suit crosses a pedestrian crossing.

A black pen on white paper illustration of a hotel and the liquor store below it. A sign that reads: HOTEL HARTLAND runs vertically down the building, another sign for WOERNERS CIGARS and LIQUORS below it. The hotel is in deep shadow, a man hails a taxi. Across the road a row of shops in bright white sunlight.

A brown ink drawing of Tove Jansson. She has red flowers in her hair, she holds a paint palette and brushes, a canvas with a painting of a sleeping Moomintroll in front of her. Tove wears a striped shirt, belt and skirt, she is smiling, happy and friendly.
