I'm so excited to get back into the swing of markets, & with such a great venue as @phm.org.uk 😍
Join me and over 20 other makers from 10-5 both days on May Day weekend, and make sure you soak up some working class history while you're there 💪🏻
Oh yes, and I'm making some new things to bring along 😉

A couple of days behind the curve but real art takes time!
I had a lot of fun doing this!

Digital drawing following the action figure trend, but done with actual effort. The figure of Sea, inside a plastic cover, wears a dark blue t-shirt with a sleeping cat on it and the word 'loafin'' above, and pastel purple, blue and pink loose trousers, and cream slippers. The accessories they come with are a mug of tea, a cat, and a foraging basket holding flowers. A yellow background has details of an anti-ai logo, the title 'Sea, comfy artist edition' and 'starter pack' at the top. The Sea doll has a speech bubble reading 'oooh,look at those mushrooms!' Under that is a six-pointed green star listing features (detailed in another pic), and at the bottom a notice saying 'rainbow dungarees sold separately' Detail of the previous picture. A six pointed green star has white hand-drawn writing on it reading Features: • Blue hair & tattoos to repel gross men • small business t-shirt by Sophie Heywood • Queerness & neurodivergence not pictured • Creativity no art theft Detail of the main image, showing a white wicker-type basket holding forget-me-nots, cherry blossom and bluebells. Beneath in black handwriting it says 'foraging basket'. Along the bottom, some of the plastic packaging is visible Detail of the main image, a red circle with a slash through it (🚫) over a white 'AI'. Written along the slash of the circle in black is 'requires time and effort' A part of the blue S of Sea can be seen on the right

Been sitting on this one for a bit, but yesterday I dropped some stock off at it's new home, my first ever shop space, Authentic in Uppermill🤩

A swinging pavement sign, white with a blue base, advertises Authentic, with a blue capital A logo and an arrow pointing towards the shop.

It's spring! My craft space is (mostly) tidy! That means it's time for me to be out and about gathering materials, and I'm already brimming with ideas for them 🤩

(I've also finally started therapy, which is probably no small part of it 😂)

There are lots of us but you are one among many and you bring something no-one else can, which is yourself.

I haven't been around because January is a rest time for me. But I'm still here, and so are you.

When you're scared, and sad, and angry, make some art

It doesn't have to be good. It can take five minutes on your phone.

It's valuable because you made it and you are valuable. No-one else did this exact thing because there's only one of ✨you✨
Quickly and loosely digitally drawn trans and non-binary flags, blended together down the middle. White text with a black border and translucent white background says 'we have always been here'

feels important today: i always get a lot of trans people asking if i specifically intended for this one to be in their colours, and while it wasn’t on my mind when i was painting, i am 100% on board with it and i’m honoured that it makes you feel some kind of way. 💕

an absolute sucker for a cotton candy sky
illustration of power lines and a rooftop silhouetted against a cotton candy sky. a faint crescent moon in the top right corner, one single crow on the lines. snowflakes softly falling but THIS TIME the colours are RIGHT it's higher contrast! pinker! sharper! bolder! but still soft :)

Quoting for ALT because this MAD cover is too good not to share far and wide and with everyone :D

#NoAI
It's the cover of MAD magazine. The title now reads MA.I.D Subtitle: GIVING A.I. THE MIDDLE FINGERS It shows a hand flipping the bird at the viewer, only the middle finger is doubled. On the left there's a blurb that reads: Remember to always pay real artists. They hate drawing hands as much as AI does-but unlike AI, artists count.

Wait time for a disabled person to access medically assisted death in Canada? 3 months

A specialist for TREATABLE conditions? 12-18 months

Affordable housing? Multiple years

Palliative care, psychiatric care & pain management? Good luck.

This is why we’re scared. Via @paulapeters19.bsky.social
