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?

Look at that eyebrow crease. Too much deep thinking!

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.

Confession: I had to cheat cuz most recent one was me on a flyer so felt spammy but this was second?

Went out this weekend to bar that just opened in old Victorian underground toilet called the John (not pictured). Great people and inspired! Also thanks to everyone who’s gotten behind and hyped our crowdfund to open the new space! Amazing what happens when leave the house @pupandtiger.bsky.social

I’m excited about some stuff that’s about to happen and has been in the works for a while. Can I be any vaguer?

Is it still considered gardening if it’s just putting into a basket?

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.

Do you ever look at your camera roll and wonder why you have certain pics?

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

If I didn’t take a pic walking to the gym does it still count?

This is actually my morning Canterbury route along the river Stour. #Canterbury

Wandering around a bit in Canterbury on a cloudy day. #Canterbury

Ok, wow what a morning... A bit frantic but also some exciting stuff in the works so that balances out a bit? But update, I'm enjoying bluesky and thanks for all the people who have reached out or said hi. Makes everything feel a bit more human and appreciated.

A series of images and text I did as Portents: “As an artist, that is often what I find myself attempting, to make a truth visible and to bring it into proximity, so that it might be perceived before sticking my finger in your eye” #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt

Why did I wake up at 6:40 when I didn’t need to? Coffee in my burrito oodie to ponder.
March 20, 2025 at 7:51 AM
Happy Tuesday for all those who observe.

Also: follow here @pupandtiger.bsky.social to keep up with what will be happening with the new art space and see progress. Exciting news in the next couple of weeks and please share and follow and hype and all that! #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt

What is it with these medieval dogs on tombs at Canterbury Cathedral? Is this like… supposed to be a French bulldog? …or? #Canterbury
March 17, 2025 at 10:10 AM
This dog has definitely seen some things at Canterbury Cathedral. #Canterbury
