I did this for 3 and a half months and it was genuinely transformative, but I need to take a break cause I don’t wanna look my subconscious in the eye anymore 👁️
I’ve been writing in a journal every morning for two weeks, and wow the emotional mess that comes out of the subconscious onto the page is actually fucked up why did no one warn me

As a brooding young teen I was all “ewww blonde bubbly popstars are the WORST with their pink princess bullshit”
Now as an adult goth woman I’m like “I would protect the princess Sabrina Carpenter with my life”

Anyone can answer this, it isn't just for creatives! So if you're not a creative but still want to help protect our copyright, then you can still follow this (some tweaking to the wording will be needed of course).

URGENT 🚨 Our UK copyright is under threat.
The MOST important thing we can do is encourage every author & artist we know to respond to the consultation itself - this post breaks it down so it's easy to do!
Complete before 25th Feb!

To celebrate their 10th birthday The Woodworkers Bar in Belfast commissioned me to create some new glassware! The designs were inspired by their floral table pieces, & their patrons usual activities in the bar (chats, games, music, and often first dates!) 🍻💘

My take on a poster for the Tank Girl movie 💣💥 Commissioned by Queen’s Film Theatre & The Naughton Gallery as part of their SCREEN/PRINT series. Was a treat to watch it on the original 35mm! #illustration #illustrator #tankgirl #jamiehewlett

An annoying thing I’ve noticed in arts/heritage spaces is that instead of funding the creation of art, they instead want you to run workshops on how to make that art, presumably so then more people can then not get paid to make art but give a continuing chain of workshops

I always end up reading a lot of fanfiction / manga during the weird in-between Xmas & New Years period. Gotta make sure I feel a deep sadness / heartache for fictional characters before the year is out ✨
