They/Them

I do art

Forced to exist in a capitalist world and pay bills instead of getting to live by a river and vibe

Sometimes I talk about chronic illness, MH + other stuff

Finally to the point of getting to sculpt the bases for my Fellwater Troggoths. Hoping I can make it look at least close to what I envision in my head!

My toxic trait is believing I can do normal human things without my body making me pay for it later

I'm gonna be a terrible ghost because as hard as it is to get ahold of me now, just wait and see how fast I decline a ouija board call

All my friends should be made to live walking distance from me. I don't care if this massively upends their lives

Two weeks into new job. Absolutely loving it so far. Haven't had much time or brain for art, as had to manage fatigue and pain levels. But I did get a lovely puzzle, and finally started playing Pokémon: Legends Arceus!

Please enjoy these photos of my sister's dog, Marcie. Me and my partner looked after last week. She is 11 years old and wanted us to know she has never been fed.

She is perfect and wonderful and still not getting pizza.

Some gentle whimsy, experimenting with painting on mirrors.

I have just realised I have ended up with over 200 followers on here. I doubt I will ever get to the point of having thousands of followers and lots of engagement on my art, but it feels nice to just have some organic growth on a platform.

Reposting so I can keep as a resource for myself.

While I don't really go for box art imitation on what I paint, seeing a nice effect the Eavy Metal Team have done and being able to find out how they did it is a wonderful thing.
It's public.

Not officially published by Games-Workshop, but maintained by (ex?) members of the Eavy Metal Team.

Not every mini or recipe is on there, but enough to make it an amazing ressource.

And yes, the actual recipe is different from the one in the box or the app.

Another stint in hospital today. Absolutely sucked. But hey, enjoy this little painting I finished a couple of weekends ago. Based on a night-time view when I was in the Lake District

Close up shots of a completed piece.
I have posted the full design already on my KoFi for supporters with an explanation of the work.
Just don't think I am quite ready to post it fully publicly yet!

Visit to Hyde Hall for a wander with my mum and dad. It's been very healing from the last few weeks to decompress and properly relax with my parents. Even if I am now in pain and feeling a bit fragile.

"I see the transgender movement, for lack of better term, as a logical extension of feminism. You know? Like, biology is not destiny, keep your laws off my body… Who is embracing that? Who's living that? Who is going out there and getting their throats cut for that?"

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.
