Hi all, I'm an artist. I'm inspired by my Egyptology, archaeology and early Medieval studies along with Cult British Sci-fi (Classic Dr Who, Gallifrey and Blake's 7) & a good dose of Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes. I'm currently working on a botanical series based on flora in my garden and environs👋
Not sure where or when the book will be available, but there's a nice review on Ahram for it.

My #Egyptology friends here may recognise this fabulous small limestone ostracon, from Campbell Price's social media accounts.
The artwork depicts a funeral, and it's the subject of my next Artefacts in Focus article, dropping tomorrow morning at tetisheri.substack.com

50 years ago I was a kid scribbling KISS motifs & cartoons on everything and anything. The band & its music have stayed with me, so the news that Ace Frehley (my favourite member of KISS), has left us for another stage will take some getting used to.

A travertine/calcite alabaster goblet with an image of King Tutankhamun and Queen Ankhenesamun from the antechamber in KV 62. It features the God, Heh. The image is only visible when a taper or light is used to illuminate the goblet. GEM 28.

Friday afternoon oil painting practice - the UI is still buggy, but I got the Reference Image element to work in Rebelle 8 (lost everything else in the process though, & hard crashed the app - thank goodness for the inbuilt saves and recovery files 😅).
Lady of Shalott from my garden.
