Just had a flurry of orders for these, my giant nib pins. I love being a shopkeeper, I get to put things in boxes and stick stickers and write thank you notes, just like I did as a bairn ✒️🧡🖋️ I wish I could make my website do the sound of those bells that would ring when you pushed a shop door open 🔔

“It is unkillable. It is beyond death.”
From 'The Doll', by Algernon Blackwood; monoprinted dollies, pen + ink lettering, printed on tissue, folded tiny and stuffed into matchboxes with a rotting-pumpkin badge. x 200.

Not Friday 13th but 3rd will do! Here’s my new poster for the 1922 film ‘Häxan’, by Swedish filmmaker Ben Christensen who also stars as Satan in the film. Created for the new @hireillo.com project 'The Video Shop: A Blockbuster Experience'...prints available!

If you're local, I strongly recommend the 'Made In The Middle' show now on at Riversley Park Museum in Nuneaton, curated by Craftspace. Delightful, tactile, handmade work by 37 artists including my friend Mel Tomlinson who showcases a new piece. On till 22/11 (then I have work on show a week later!)

I'm working on a project involving an actor from my favourite film of all time and I'm trying to be really blasé about it but if you see me acting like a twat it's because I've developed delusions of red-carpetness and you should slap me like the Tango advert. Please Thanks 🎬

Just watched The Running Man again with its digitally-altered news footage, face-swapped mugshots, hidden ‘bubble disks’ of corrupted facts, controlled media and easily-swayed audiences baying for death, fed by televised propaganda. Relieved we left all that behind in 2017 😬

We first went to Corso Zundert in 2017 and it’s never disappointed. Massive, human-powered dahlia sculptures, crawling the streets of a tiny Dutch village, cheered by the teams that have been building them since January. Designed along strange, obscure, environmental, political or bizarre themes!

Gently charmed by the art materials in #Armani’s behind-the-scenes photos today.

Went to see the newly-installed new Battle of Bosworth sculpture, immediately colonised and completely out-drama’d by weather and sheep. 🤎🤍

I'm just listening to this every time I want my brain sorting the f*ck out. My god the woman can belt it out! And write...and act..and direct.....she's a monster (see what I did there).

I'm normally early doors or midmorning, so teatime was a shock! 😆

God knows I love a deadlift but was reminded today why I've avoided the post-work gym slot for 30+ yrs; clusters of littering bros space-invading loudly.
But the rainbow came out as I left and threw a blanket over my irritation; don't think I've ever seen one so whole or with colours so distinct.

Good point! 🎄

Making apple turnovers with ginger and cinnamon while listening to The Necks. The window are open and I’m in a T-shirt, but it’s raining and dingey, and damn if it hasn’t turned to Autumn while I was looking the other way. 🍂🍁🍂

Making proper chewy-strength coffee at 10pm for a late night of work 💥BUT DECAF💥

I'm sitting here resentfully writing the new 'U.S. Shipping & Tariffs' pages on both our web shops when I should be doing joyful creative things but it's OK because a) @taylorswift 💍 b) THUNDER IS PREDICTED⚡️ and c) I'm sure I saw someone on here say Pumpkin Spice? 🎃

21st Baron of Dunsany, filmmaker and rewilding advocate Randal Plunkett’s first book ‘Wild Thing’ comes out on October 9th, with a wraparound cover illustrated by me - a mix of drawing and parallel-pen lettering in ink.
Feels like the perfect new project to post on this really sunny day!

Sarah J Coleman / Inkymole @sarahjcoleman.bsky.social · Aug 19

Thanks very much - I will investigate!

I'm just back from a second visit to Efteling in Holland, and I managed a fleeting visit to the Museum this time. Designed by illustrator Anton Pieck, it's one of the world's oldest theme parks, it's completely devoid of corporate/external IP/characters /sponsorship. Eerie, magical and strange!

I live in Hinckley, I love computers, my nickname has been Ada since I was a child and I’ll almost be able to see this statue from our office - what’s not to love about this story!
(Except I wish they’d name the artist, but hopefully that’ll come in time.)

Statue plan to honour 19th Century computing pioneer in Hinckley

Project organisers hope to highlight the mathematician's childhood links to the town.

Proofing artwork for a new book cover. Doesn’t matter how many I do, seeing the art come together is relentlessly satisfying. This one features my photography, illustration + lettering in one cover - and it’s an effervescent book too: YA biog in verse? It shouldn’t work but it does, brilliantly!

Andrea Gibson, 13th August 1975-July 14th 2025.
Over 17 years we worked with, for and because of Andrea so many times I can't think of it all right now. So I'll review that later. For now, here's Andrea and us. What a gift that our lives got to be intertwined. #andreagibson

When a mate makes his own coffee blend, you pay attention (with your taste buds). Insa-ne fruitiness like the flavour you wish for but never quite get with Christmas coffees! @insa_gram will be happy to furnish you with some in exchange for a few quid… 🤎👌🏻☕️
