Each day, a different photo from the archives. Rattos past and present.
Day One. Well Novembers only just over, so here is Picard in 2020, with a spooky bed :)

I'd been thinking of using the 'professional' name of Leo Joy Art For etsy, craft fairs, etc.
But I did have an etsy some years ago, I could maybe reopen but it's connected to old names and emails. Still like the name though. So Leo Joy Art or Wonky Spooks. What do you think?? #aspiringartist

With all that's been going on in my life (see my other account @leos.good.bad.wyrd ) I had completely forgotten I am going to be part of Artist Alley Worcester on the 6th December!!! Luckily, Sy, who has very kindly invited me to share their table (so has done all the hard work) reminded me today!

Suddenly having lots to do is the kick up the bum I needed! I'm not sure how much I can get done, but, at the very least, I get to spend a day with my friend :)
I had already planning to get busy because, Art For All Mental Health have been donated a week at @gardensgallery! 10th - 16th.

Today, I woke up in a foul mood. But I've done painting, seen friends and experienced a massive kindness from a stranger. Happiness restored :)

Nearly ready to print this but I'm so scared! I've never done a multi layer print before. I've bought registration clips, got cardboard to make a frame. I've been carving this on and off for months! (life and other prints) and I'm nervous to finally print on Friday! Wish me luck!
