My week.
Painting a bee’s bum.
Painting a gorgeous wren.
Painting pebbles for someone for a sad but lovely reason.
And my artwork being on the cover of a book that’s doing very well. It was nearly 50 illustrations in total and I learnt so much.
Also freezing most of the time too.

I really love the punk attitude blackbirds have to pecking the ground. This is no gentle peck. It's "I'm fucking shit up" and I'm here for it.

It's come to my attention that some people have received AI-generated emails about collaborating with me and/or my agent. I have not and would never send out those emails. If you get one...it's NOT ME!
