This is one of my favourite gates in a road of garages near me. I’m not a painter but if I were one then I’d like to be able to use colour and shape this beautifully.

I really enjoyed the halloween episode of the @themerl.bsky.social’s podcast, Absolute Units.
It features another favourite podcaster of mine, Mark Norman of @folklorepod.bsky.social.

That was a spooky walk!
I very rarely feel uncomfortable on a walk but being surrounded by fog makes everything feel… other.
A bit like walking in the dark, you just don’t know what’s out there.

....Parishioners split themselves into rival camps, embroidered the names of the candidates whom they favoured on their clothes and generally undermined the peace and spiritual goodwill of the place."

Here’s a page from my sketchbook where I planned out the linocut. I love to see the grids and rules people create when making a sign by hand. Often they result in a bit of awkwardness.
