It warns that the government is planning more benefit cuts, stating: “Our community can’t take more.” At the bottom, white bold text urges: “Ask your Government to STOP #TakingThePIP.” Black background with blue and purple text. Heading says “The Truth”. A quote reads: “When you’re forced to choose between having a shower or heating your home, it’s not just about money — it’s about dignity. Disabled people are being pushed to the edge, not because support isn’t possible, but because it’s being denied.” Purple quotation marks frame the quote. At the bottom, white text reads: “Ask your Government to STOP #TakingThePIP”. #TakingThePIP why it’s a disaster Graphic with a black background and blue and white text, titled: “The Government is proposing huge PIP cuts — here’s why that’s a disaster” Below the heading, a list explains the impact on disabled households: 63% higher living costs, £1,010/month in extra expenses, Food bank reliance, Struggles to afford heating, rent, or food and Rising poverty.

#TakingThePIP Vital Support Lose Black background with bold blue and white text stating: “The Truth: Under the Government’s PIP cuts, many will lose vital support.” It explains that people who need help showering or dressing, prompting to prepare food, or help socialising could be cut off. An example is given: someone who gets 2 points for showering and 2 for dressing (total 4 points) would no longer qualify under new rules. It states: “This is a cut — not support.” At the bottom, white bold text urges: “Ask your Government to STOP #TakingThePIP.”

"Emphasises that the government wants to cut PIP while the support system is broken. Lists Access to Work delays and rising hardship. Urges action under #TakingThePIP.” The Truth The government wants to cut PIP to "help" Disabled people into work but the existing support system is broken. Access to work is in crisis. 6+ month delays. 20,000 people on wait list in March 2025 (up from 5,000 in 2024). Missed job offers & business closures. Disabled people pushed further into hardship.

My floofbutt joined his other siblings in the sky, across the rainbow bridge. He was the most snuggly, affectionate, gentle good boi, yet noisy & opinionated doggy we ever knew. We're going to miss him.

How long have you spent on one piece of art? Have you any that have taken much longer than most? Or are you a quick study type of artist? I'd like to know.

Do you think that there is a time limit on creating art, especially digital?

A fanart illustration of Lydia Deetz from the movie Beetlejuice. She is holding a Nikon camera with a flash gun in her left hand. While in her right hand, she has a Polaroid photo of two floating designer, bed sheets, with eye holes cut in them. She is dressed in a black velvet ruffled dress with black lace, and on her head is a black wide brimmed hat with the words "Strange and Unusual" embroidered onto it. Green light shines brightly as a narrow beam, highlighting her eyes. Behind Lydia on her left, is the snake version of Beetlejuice, grinning menacingly. On her right side is the sandworm with its black and white stripped tongue flicking around the edge of her hat. The background is the sanded dune moon of Saturn, with rough red coral shaped rocks. The Deetz/Mainland House is far in the background, bright acid green light beems from its windows. Purple highlights contrasts the green in this illustration of Beetlejuice. A fan art illustration of Morticia Addams. Mortica that left hand, with red painted nails, A her face and the coner of her mouth in a sultry way. A black widow spider hangs off a web, just on the right side of Morticia's face. Ornamental writing with cobwebs on the right hand side reads "Don't Torture yourself that's my job" A black and white illustration of a forest with a fluffy black cat. In front of the cat is a collection of mushrooms surrounding an animal skull. There is a triangle border with ornamental mushrooms at the corners and seeded snapdragons.

This took over a year to draw because of health and tech issues.
Way over 500 hours because of the document size and all the details I like to add to my art. I like to have large file sizes, so I know it will print well, and I can size up to a much larger size.
