Enormous thanks to this week's #NerdNite speakers @lydiathornley.bsky.social , Nazma and @vickihird.bsky.social and everyone who welcomed and supported our new host/ boss.

Head to my Nerd Nite London talk tomorrow to join me in a voyage of nerdery on the printer’s fist (pointing hand) via wood type, Elizabethan farming and dogs @nerdnitelondon.bsky.social

We're delighted to have #NerdNite regular @lydiathornley.bsky.social back next week to talk about the surprisingly long history of the pointing hand symbol

Hew Locke, What Have We Here, at the British Museum: back-stories, responses, onlooking figures - full of things to think about

From the week’s wanders, three London exhibition recommendations: Liz Atkin at the Gallery Café, Drawn to Blue at the Courtauld (26th last day so hot foot it over there to catch it) and Annie Johns at Ken Art Space

Checking in on the plants through drawing: hydrangea blueing from the base, spider plant host to an actual spider; supermarket geranium giving it a bit of bonsai

Sketches from art wanderings at the vast London Art Fair and the small and wonderfully informative Drawn to Blue at the Courtauld

New here on Bluesky, it seems fitting to introduce myself with a new sketchbook. I’m never without one, made from waste, for visual notes
