Sapphire

Basel, Switzerland. October 2025
This gorgeous peacock was walking around the flowers like he owned the place. Just the perfect setting for a bit of mysterious shot.

Picture of a stunning peacock with blue feathers, in a dark flower field. The flowers are pink and white. The overall feel is moody and mysterious.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

@jimmykimmel.com, a COMEDIAN, being cancelled for telling the truth, while Charlie Kirk talked shit about George Floyd, republicans joyful at Paul Pelosi being harmed, Brian Kilmeade saying homeless people should be shot, is what 1984 is all about! FU America.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

This lovely is Saffy, she was adopted by my friend in Feb and I’ve looked after her 3 times now. She was mistreated at her previous home and she arrived scared of humans. The first few times I tried to get too close she slapped me.
Yesterday she climbed onto my lap and demanded a cuddle 🥲 I cried.

Is Charlie Kirk’s death THE death for the dictatorship to take complete control of the US? Every dictator in history used one death as an excuse. Will this be it?

It shouldn’t be considered radical to believe that every human life has value.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say no one should have to prove their worth.

It shouldn’t be divisive to fight for a basic income, healthcare, education, food and housing for all.

Thank you! Yes I think I do well with tension now :) my first colourwork project (which I haven’t finished yet) was a bit wonky but getting better at it 🤞🏻

Process of a charcoal drawing I made recently. Would you like to see the finished portrait?

#charcoal #drawing #portrait #blackandwhitedrawing #charcoalportrait #girl

Portrait covered with charcoal dust to start painting from negative space

Face starting to emerge from the charcoal dust, by using a rubber to highlight the areas in the light

More of the girl’s face is emerging through highlights features and deepening shadows

Nothing’s like England 🥰

#englishcountryside #england #photography #sussex #countryside #nature #photographer #ousevalley

Ouse Valley Viaduct in Sussex, among the green trees of the English Spring. Built in 1841 and described as “probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain." I agree.

To the tall, bearded gentleman who was on the tfl northern line and got off at Stockwell: I picked up your two chocolate croissant bags you left in 2 different places near your seat, no worries.

I cannot stand this kind of entitlement.
