Glitch — my first scrollable immersive installation.
Inspired by the surrealists as social hackers.
Huge thanks to The Writers’ Mark for curating The Leonora Banquet at Brighton Fringe, and to The Regency Town House for hosting.

Can I continue to keep my design and art practice separate?
They're the same thing right?
So why do they belong in different parts of my brain?

The creativity from my art practice feeds my commercial work ... which itself pays for time for me to play.

Collabbed on a zine at my monthly digital storytelling night.

2 hours absolute chaos.

Would I have done it alone? Nope. Would I do it again? Immediately.

Collaboration is weird. Completely worth it.

The power of three …

Mixed media inks, acrylics and more

- - - - - - #Sketchbook #acrylicpainting #artist #art #artistsoninstagram #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #acrylicpaint #collage #intuitiveart
A vivid, emotionally charged painting of three figures standing close together against a chaotic, multicolored background of purples, reds, yellows, and blues. The figures are rendered in a loose, expressive style with visible brushstrokes and layered textures. The central figure, dressed in bright orange, stares forward with a solemn expression. The figure on the left has long dark hair and streaks of black and orange across their face, while the figure on the right appears ghostly, with distorted features and multicolored smudges, creating a haunting, almost mask-like appearance. A close-up of the figure on the left side of the painting. This person has long dark hair partially obscuring their face. The skin is painted in shades of orange, yellow, and red, with black lines dripping down like tears or ink. Their expression is tense and shadowed, evoking sadness or discomfort. A close-up of the central figure, who has short hair and wears a vivid orange garment. Their expression is serious and direct, with large dark eyes and facial features marked by thick lines and rough textures. The backdrop continues the energetic, swirling strokes seen in the full image. A close-up of the rightmost figure, whose face is heavily abstracted and distorted. The features are overlaid with scribbles and patches of pale white, green, purple, and black, giving the impression of a face that is partially erased or rewritten. The eyes are hollow, and the mouth is open, suggesting distress or transformation.

Collaboration's kinda a new thing for me . .so I'm still finding my feet when it comes to blending my ideas with someone else's.

What if I’d pushed harder? What if I'd shut up and let it happen?
Who knows ...

I straddle two creative worlds: design and art.

One is about solving problems.
The other is about exploring them.

One pays the bills.
The other keeps me sane.

They're getting closer together. Will they meet in the middle?

Watch this space.

Rather super night doodling along to @jasonstoryteller.bsky.social telling a super tale about Jack Hare …

#sketchbook #artist #art #doodling #artistsoninstagram #hareart #hares
A dark, moody painting of a hare with elongated features looking up at a swirling moon. The background is textured with black and deep blue brushstrokes, giving it a dreamlike, surreal quality. A ghostly, abstract depiction of a hare, created with black and white smudged crayon on paint over a book page. The hare’s body is partially obscured by dark shadows, with its tall ears and intense eyes emerging from the background. A vibrant, eerie painting of a hare with tall, sharp ears. The background is a chaotic mix of blue, pink, and black brushstrokes, creating a raw and expressive atmosphere. The hare appears almost spectral, blending into the surreal colors.

Well this is crushingly depressing … but a great example of solid #datajournalism

“The right dominates the online media ecosystem, seeping into sports, comedy, and other supposedly nonpolitical spaces”

www.mediamatters.org/google/right...
A bubble chart visualizing the total following of top right-leaning and left-leaning online shows. Each circle represents a show with over 1 million total followers, with circle size proportional to the show’s total following. The chart is divided into red circles for right-leaning shows and blue circles for left-leaning shows. Joe Rogan has the largest following at 39.9 million, followed by Russell Brand (22.5m), Theo Von (22.3m), Trevor Noah (21.2m), Ben Shapiro (25m), and Jordan B. Peterson (23m). Other notable names include The Young Turks (12m), The Breakfast Club (11.4m), Candace Owens (15m), Tucker Carlson (13.9m), and Piers Morgan (7.1m). The data was collected from platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, as indicated in the source by Media Matters for America. (AI)

It’s been ages since I sat and doodled on the beach.

Neon oil pastels, Crayola crayons and colour pencil

#Sketchbook #artist #art #doodling #artistsonbluesky #oilpastels
page featuring a colorful, abstract humanoid figure with an oversized, swirling head in shades of orange, pink, blue, and purple. The figure has a small bird-like face, a rounded body, thin legs, and is wearing sneakers. The background consists of expressive, swirling lines. A double-page spread in a sketchbook. On the left, a rounded figure with a long braid, dressed in a robe-like garment, has their head tilted downward. On the right, a hooded figure in a baseball hat stands against a swirling sun-like backdrop in orange and pink. Art supplies, including markers and pastels, are visible in the background. A close-up of a sketchbook page featuring a ghostly figure, partially outlined in blue. Their face is partially obscured, with pink and blue shading. Jagged, mountain-like shapes in the background, drawn in black and purple, frame the figure. The texture of the pencil and pastel strokes is rough and expressive. A sketchbook spread featuring two figures. The larger central figure has long, wild orange hair, pointed ears, and sunglasses. They wear a long dress with a structured, almost robotic silhouette. Their outstretched arm appears to gesture or direct. A smaller figure, dressed in purple, stands to their side with a neutral expression. The drawing has strong black outlines with pink, blue, and orange shading, giving it a surreal, layered appearance. Art supplies and pebbles are visible in the background.

I'm a serial oversharer of my creative output.

And sometimes it backfires.

So now, I do this:

- Am I after feedback or just a dopamine hit?
- Wait 48 hrs - am I still excited? Go for it.
- Does it need context?
- Ask - why do I love it?
- Choose my audience wisely.
