Our art studio is moving to a different bit of Belfast city centre so I organised a small paste up outing with some of the artists on a wall I have been pasting on for the last while.
It pissed down with rain but everyone came very colourfully dressed and for a minute we beat the terrible weather.

Belfast city Hospital Tower block is celebrating 40 years of being a weird brutalist erratic on the Belfast skyline and I was commissioned to make some art for the exhibition in the hospital.
The exhibition is called 40 never looked so good and runs until April.

I'll be up at the Vault Xmas Market again today. Hoping for more conversations like:
'Can I pay you in Euro?'
'OK. How come you're paying in Euro?'
'I won in a casino in Dublin'
And:
'Do you know anyone who does mime in Belfast'
'Yeah, there's a guy called Grant doing mime behind you.'
'Can I pay you in Euro?'

We bumped into Mrs Claus in a shopping centre in the North Pole where she was trying to do a spot of Christmas shopping.
She didn’t seem particularly impressed and is coming to the Vault Christmas Market to get her gifts made by human hands instead. Hurrah!!!!!!

Every year I design the @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market poster and this year I was going to go with an abstract torn paper design like you might find on a billboard in Europe but as soon as I started the design it sent this way and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
