I broke with tradition this year and released another new Krampus card design. I just can't get enough of this mischievous little monster!

I believe that if Ukraine is forced to accept this catastrophe of a 'Peace Plan', Europe will be at war with Russia within five years. The EU needs to fully unite behind Ukraine and provide an alternative. The EU could wield enormous power, but chooses not to.

The 28 Point Peace Plan is a shameful act on the part of the US Government and will go down in history as one of the worst betrayals of a nation in the 21st century. It gives Putin everything he wants, he loses nothing and will embolden him in the futre. NATO pact is meaningless.

Self-Bot summer project for University. The bot is meant to be me entering 2nd year. We could choose whether we made our bots high or low tech, but had to pick one catchphrase. Inspiration came from Transformers and Gundam.

Mini Comic: Heatwave

The heatwaves we had this summer were not for the faint of heart. At all. Pretty sure I died and ascended. More than once. .

You can tell which politics the papers support just by which marches and protests they cover.

100,000 people for trans rights? Zero coverage.

Max 250 people for racism? Breathless daily coverage, multiple articles and thinkpieces, talking heads going on TV to discuss ‘legitimate concerns’.
Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave.

Leeds "draws 70"
Cardiff "disorganised + small"
Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200"
Cheshunt about 250
Chichester: about 100
Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side

Staying off the news this week (which is a first for me in years), though it can't be avoided altogether with using social media.

But my fortitude is at a low ebb, so for the sake of my brain, no doom scrolling this week. Fluffy stuff only. As you were.

#TBT The Tower
Loosely inspired by Glastonbury Tor. No reference pic so a bit ropy. Think it was an art prompt, may have been Inktober.
Fineliners in an A5 Seawhite.

Just posted some recent artwork on Instagram and had to delete it as the compression ruined it.

Decided to change my banner, so uploaded a mixed media piece I did while ago. As the banner only shows a small portion...here it is. ❄️

US customers!
I will be closing orders on Wednesday 13th August until further notice due to Trump suddenly ending De Minimis.

I can't risk you getting $80 fees for a single shipment if USPS is not ready to collect taxes.

I will look at ways to reopen and update you when I can. Very sad times!

My feeling is torc makers of the past were aware of each other's work, but made their own styles. We can see it in end results - similar, but not the same, different hands at work.
