Poet. Pixel Artist. Photographer. Gobshite.
I did a 1bit pixel art challenge last month, 15 minutes a day. It was tough, I'm not 100% happy with it but it was mostly a learning experience.

I think the traffic cone and fire hydrant might be some of my best work tbh.

Never worked with such a limited palette before, I think it came out okay.

An advert I got recently. Yet another unrealistic body standard for women.

Our @wecreatetogether.bsky.social theme this month is "my colours" (and you can take part!).

As we reach the end of Northern History Week and head into pride, I thought it would be nice to do some pixel art of a miner's lamp that incorporated a bit of colour. Not a real entry though.

Had a sudden urge to dust off some skills I was slightly worried I might have lost with a self portrait. I love pixel art, will try to keep it up this time.

Visions of a better future OR Hanging curtains in the panopticon.

Hope isn't always easy for those of us on the left, but we owe it to each other to try. This poem has a couple of Easter eggs if you read it out loud, you'll find the names of 2 philosophers.

Nothing like a bit of neoliberal consensus to ruin your day.
