How confident are we that we’re not ‘the mark’ ?

Do you love libraries?
Seems the UK doesn’t 😢

A free resource for us all to knowledge, support and community - why would our councils limit access to that?

Just numbering and getting another batch ready to post. If you want one for your library or library zine collection, message me 📚

Awesome a perfect photo (right)

Finally got to see Bruegel's, ‘Landscape with the fall of Icarus’ c.1560 in real life ❤️

I just love this painting, it’s like everyone’s just getting on with their day while a vain teen splooshes into the sea off to the right… and no one is bovvered.

Warning to the arrogant !

Title: Stop Talking

You know the feeling, when your brain is full of someone else’s stream of words but you can’t stop them

This is a test print that’s been foiled.

illustration from April as a response to tiredness. At the time of drawing didn't know I was 'properly unwell' but my subconscious drawing hand did.
Later, after hospital, blood transfusions and treatment I'm back at work and the usual stuff BIG thanks to the bloody amazing NHS
