I’m working at a snail’s pace but at least I’m working! Work in progress on Eamonn Itapus. Original Unseen design, hand burned onto the wood. #art #mushrooms #nature #octopus #craft #pyrography

Took my daughter, @theartisticdragon.bsky.social , to the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure pop up shop in Camden yesterday, one happy Phoebe. #jojo #anime #JojosBizarreAdventure #Camden

75 crochet poppies made by me and Phoebe for Poppies on the Pier at Southend Pier & Railway 😁 #crochet #poppies #handmade

Well that good spell didn’t last as long as I’d hoped! The fibro has me but I’m hoping that if I can get a restful night’s sleep I might manage a bit of time on this tomorrow, wish me luck! I keep reminding myself that although it is frustrating there is no rush.

Still available 🐙🍄🌧️

Work in progress on this guy. Haven’t named him yet, maybe Eamonn Itapus 🍄 #pyrography #mushrooms #art #octopus #wildlife #nature #artist #woodworking

It’s nice to be burning again. Having chronic illness means you never know when you’ll be well enough to create or how long for so I grabbed the opportunity to start on this guy 🍄 #pyrography #mushrooms #art #octopus

With Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman & more - even the Joker - after three decades I'm back in Metropolis and Gotham City in November with KINGDOM COME by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, a fully cast, cinematic audio drama from DC and Penguin Random House Audio, with music by my SANDMAN pal James Hannigan.

Everything weighs heavily right now, the whole world seems to be in pain. So, here’s the birthday cake that my daughter made for her boyfriend to spread a little cheer 🐷

I like immigrants. I like meeting new people who can bring new cool shit to my life. I like exploring languages. I like learning about different cultures. I like exploring interesting foods. So many fun drinks, dances, clothes, tools, myths, techniques and ideas. Humanity should be diverse.

Step into the world of Terry Pratchett's The Wee Free Men with @rhi.bsky.social & @gabriellekent.bsky.social (Tiffany Aching’s Guide to Being a Witch) and Marieke Nijkamp (Splinter and Ash series) on the Remember Reading? podcast. Listen here: www.harpercollins.com/pages/rememb...

I will be auctioning this off soon!

Last year @terrypratchett.bsky.social kindly gave me permission to crochet Rob Anybody to raise money for my local wildlife hospital, he raised a whopping £500! Everything was handmade. He is one of proudest creations. #discworld #pratchett #handmade #crochet #feegle

A really old one. This is a Wildchild Designs design that I burned at 6x4”. #mythology #art #craft #medusa #snakes #burn #pyrography #pyro #artist

I don’t like having my photo taken and like very few that are taken but this one is my favourite. My husband snapped it at Kynance Cove in Cornwall about 7 years ago. I’m wearing my favourite shawl that I made for myself. #cornwall #sea #ocean #StayingInThePicture

Went to B&Q to buy a mini chainsaw, they didn’t have one so I bought a lemon tree instead. Her name is Lilith. Here are my available artworks in case you want to feed my fruit tree habit. 🍋

Sometimes you have to sketch silly things, well, sillier than my normal silly sketches. These ones don’t make it to the wood but they’re fun to play with 😁 #transformers #octopus #robots #art #sketch #doodle

A very old one, before I knew anything about copyright. Designs hand burned onto the wood. Draw was lined with pages from a broken copy of The Hobbit. This took a lot of prep work before I could burn it and I added a new handle. #LordOfTheRings #lotr #pyrography #burn #books #craft #wood

One from a few years ago. Original design hand burned onto the wood and hand painted. It is titled Dance of the Selkies. #art #craft #seals #selkies #folklore #legend #myth #water #pyrography #nature #wildlife #woodwork

One from a couple of years ago. This was freehand burned onto the wood. Probably one of my favourite pieces. #jellyfish #pyrography #burn #nature #wildlife #art #artistonbluesky #handmade #craft

This is Penguin, he’s top dog in the garden and always gives you a couple of slaps before he eats the peanuts in your hand, just to show you who’s boss. #pigeons #birds

“Simple Acts Of Kindness” - A new original painting up on jameshance.com today 🧙‍♂️ “I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay.” ❤️ ✨🎨 (Gesso / Acrylic Gouache / Color Pencil on Illustration Board)

Fuck the fash 🖕

Postage has gone up so much but I’m leaving these at this bargain price, future pairs will sadly be more.

Still available 🦭 🌊

Postage is becoming horrendous. I just checked the cost now and it is £10.95 so send any of my artworks that are over £50, that’s a big cost to add on for artists who are already struggling to sell 😞 That means that fees are around £23 before the cost of my work 😞

Our amazing local wildlife hospital @sewh.bsky.social that we fundraiser for was robbed by some complete fuckers! If you have any information please pass it on and it you have a few pounds to spare please do consider donating. southessexwildlife.org/donate

My friend Sarah, who is owned by one of my favourite tyrannical cats, sent me this message earlier and I thought, hmmmm, yes. I wonder if the Cat Distribution System might have space for two little kittens. Let’s see if we can find a home for them!

A few weeks later I posted this.

This week, a foul untruth was published about me in @theguardian.com letters page. Thank you for allowing me to correct the record: I know my parsnips from my potatoes. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The Glassworker is a gorgeous, moving, sometimes brutal feature from Pakistan. Making it was a decade-long struggle. Ghibli inspired it, but this is no GenAI knockoff. It’s a deep study of Hayao Miyazaki's and Isao Takahata's filmmaking. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/learning-t...

"Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all. Now, why don't you take a long, close look at this sign. Those proportions are correct." All shot using real figures & miniatures

If I can create all these shots just from my Living room on a surface the size of an A3 sheet of paper imagine what I could do if I had a studio. I might have to give all this up if I can't find paid opportunities, if you know any businesses that would ❤️ my style of work please share this post. 🙏
