My flyers for #herefordshireartweek arrived! They'll be on my table this year and also passed round to people I know soon.

I had fun designing these on Vistaprint which I also used to design my business cards.

I'm really looking forward to September 🧡 How are you all?

Sharing the pride birb paintings I did back in 21 after taking suggestions on IG. They're still some of my favourites after all this time, I'm thinking I might do more in the future because I enjoyed them so much then! If you have any suggestions for new ones, drop them below #lgbt #trans #birb #art
Photograph of 7 different watercolour paintings of birds each coloured in based on a different lgbt pride flag. The top left is a flamingo in the genderfluid flag colours (pink, purple, black, blue), the top middle is an owl in the trans flag colours (blue, pink and white), the top right is a Harris hawk in the asexual flag colours (black, grey, white and purple), the bottom left is a swan in the pansexual flag colours (pink, yellow, blue), the middle bottom two are a dove in the asexual flag colours holding an asexual flag and a pigeon in the bisexual flag colours (pink, purple, blue), and the bottom right is a tropical mythical bird in the pansexual flag colours holding a pansexual flag.

One of my 1st ever Team Fortress pieces, Pyro, from 5 years ago!
#TF2 #art #fanart #teamfortress2 #Pyro
The character Pyro from the video game Team Fortress 2 painted in watercolour paint, depicted with a loving expression despite no facial expressions - balled up left hand us resting under chin of their mask, and palm of right hand is laid flat against the side of their mask as they stare at the viewer with supposedly wide eyes. They are an individual in a red asbestos lined fire suit adorned with orange flame logos on each shoulder. They wear black-grey elbow length flame resistant gloves with gold detailed on the ends, a black-grey gas mask with very large dark lenses, and a lopsided top hat in the same dark grey with a black band around the middle.
