haha serving you pup, tiger, and “queer art space founder realness” in one fresh tee.
Brand new Pup and Tiger gear, because if you’re going to start a radical café and art space, you might as well dress the part?

A couple days ago, construction across the way turned our garden into an accidental pond, heavy machinery met a water line. It’s fixed now, but still soggy enough to consider feeding ducks.

“Fabulous All the Way Down (Tortoise Spiral)” is about the cycles we survive—queer resilience, slow strength, and beauty through hard times. The spiral turns, and we rise.
Fabulous is inevitable. 🌈

I had a dream that Keanu Reeves was working in London and had a project in Manchester, so decided to move to Birmingham so I was helping him and giving him advice on how to adjust? I don't really have any particular affinity to KR and never been to Birmingham, so woke up confused...

In Huysmans’s novel Against Nature, the tortoise becomes a symbol of decadence and a queer aesthetics — embodying the slow, deliberate pace of a life removed from societal norms. 👉 pupandtiger.co.uk/donate

New Vision Backer print reward! 🐢 Inspired by Huysmans’s Against Nature—a jeweled tortoise as a symbol of queer decadence, artifice, and life beyond the norm. Beauty in excess, meaning in detail.

Been thinking… the world needs spaces for queer joy and creativity. Seems particularly necessary with everything now as physical spaces. If you’re into this idea let’s connect. Give this a boost, share with your circle, and stay tuned. Exciting things ahead.

Looking at an idea of having to undo in order to create something new. Interview I did for my first book Solvent Form at #DennisCooper: "I actually grew up in places where a lot of these notions of the art world were viewed from afar." @manchesterup.bsky.social
