Old art teacher - brand new author. Still delivering the best Development programmes to art teachers, through the University of Leeds and The Paul Mellon Centre for studies in British Art
Very pleased with the reviews of my book and the responses so far. It’s getting easier to accept everyone’s feedback too. It belongs out there. I hope that if you read it, you’ll love the characters and roll with the storyline - it’s supernatural - but might just be true…..

The University has placed in the top 100 universities in the world for the 8th year in a row, moving up to 13th position among the 90 UK institutions on the list 🙌

The QS World University Rankings were released today, and Leeds is ranked 86th in the world.

Not sure about this Bluesky. I havent got the energy to wade through the streams of consciousness to find the pools of likeminded souls.

My little book is doing ok. It’s just a lighthearted tale that reads as a screenplay for the tv drama that will never happen - but I hope it plays very visually in people’s imaginations. Everyone should write a book. Go on - do it - you know you want to

Hey! Human! Stop hiring humans. No more nepo babies either 🤦🏻‍♀️

If distance means that I can't physically get into schools, I do online sessions to introduce kids to the techniques I use, and to hopefully inspire them. Yesterday, Nichola's school 'Willow Primary' in Doncaster, joined me for some fish-making.

The pop-up mini Leeds Goth exhibition is now open at the Leeds Tattoo Expo Monster Art Fair at @firstdirectarena.bsky.social. I’ll be here all weekend to chat about #Leeds, the birthplace of #goth.

Hello. Just to let you know that the Discovery centre is one of the key moments in my first novel. I’m not asking you to buy it, but I hope I’ve sold it well. (But also available at Amazon & Waterstones online 😬👍🏼)

Not really seeing the point of BlueSky. Feels very empty. No replies - no contact. Very very odd

@artofrob.bsky.social hello good friend. Just so you know. - it’s actually really happening. I doubt the availability of it in the US - without a massive tariff. But it’s real.
Hope all is well.

Hello there Rosie. 👋 I’m doing an experiment. I haven’t left Twitter and haven’t really moved over here either, just testing the water. About to bombard this platform with this. You’re the first to know on this site.

I’ve done it. My leap of faith into the blue. Now how do I find the light switch and find people ?
