Ongoing Conditions. Opening night on Thursday went nicely. We’re open for the next two months by appointment, because we’re upstairs in a disused office building.

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

I have an open studios/ exhibition thing opening on Thursday that I've almost burnt myself out a bit preparing for, but I am pleased with this low-res forest I put together yesterday

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

Wishing you all a wonderful 2026 ✨ I hope it brings you closer to your joy despite whatever difficulties you may need to traverse ❤️ . #drawing #illustration #inkdrawing #bookillustration

In case you were wondering what perfection looks like ✨🎄

Happy Christmas everyone ✨ I hope you all have a lovely time and if you don't celebrate, I hope you have a restful day <3

Merry Christmas to all those celebrating. Happy Thursday to all those who are not. And I hope this day passes bearably and swiftly for anyone struggling today. Dragon with Christmas Gift, Edward Gorey.

It will never stop being strange to me how no one can do a good film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. There's always this focus on it being the greatest love story, when really it's a book about deep pain, trauma, revenge and cruelty.

Wassailing wasn’t just singing. It was a winter blessing for orchards, where people toasted trees with cider and hung bits of bread for the robins. A good harvest began with a good song. #FolkloreThursday Art: Pauling Baynes

My first home-grown pomegranate ✨ I didn't actually know when it would be ready to pick and then it burst open so I figured it was time to give it a taste (delicious btw)

A special place in hell is reserved for Portuguese tax forms. And I thought filing taxes in the UK was bad.

Me: gets sewing machine Me: first project - something complex with extremely difficult fabric Results: hideous, eldrich creations . The third one is finally getting there, but this fabric is so nightmarish, I'm just gonna dye some white cotton - it's going to be an art doll creation. Hopefully.
