The New Collection. Now includes an ENAMEL MUG! Fancy! birdscanflystore.com/collection/b... BIRDS, BIRDS, BIRDS - Enamel Mug

Sometimes, even in the darkest times, it helps to be silly…

Loads of new #BIRD thingies here! birdscanflystore.com/collection/b...

The RAW, blackbird, scanned in, not edited just as it is. Then I add colour digitally, it's almost like painting, but with colour coming from changing the colour of the scan...

Sometimes I draw a bird just for the design I have swimming in my mind, BIRDS, BIRDS, BIRDS needed 3 flying birds, so I drew them, I'm so grateful for my drawing hands... birdscanflystore.com/collection/b...

Today I shared a snack with a Robin… Thanks @hilaryjack_ for capturing the magic, just… 😊

I'm still shooketh, this morning I was visited by a #HummingbirdHawkMoth - It flew up to my balcony on the sixth floor of my flat in Bethnal Green... It flitted about my lobelia for a moment. This drawn today to celebrate, a work in progress! Have you seen them? if so where?... :)

A post on the struggles with Pride, this month...

It's been a year since my last gentle reference!!... I've just made this #CostasHummingbird with a new blog post revealing their history and the 'forgotten' story of the female founders of the @rspb.bsky.social birdscanflystore.com/blog/the-hum...

In East London I've seen one pair of swifts... How many have you seen?

Drawing #CostasHummingbird - Gentle Reference coming soon… #BirdsCanFly #ornithology

Intended to be little backdrops for some new bird illustrations, slightly perplexed by the specific details of each plant... If you know plants and I've titled them incorrectly let me know, you might also guess which particular birds have been getting my attention... #Illustration #Horticulture

It’s been an age since I embarked on a gentle reference… The beginnings

More floral illustrations…

Breaking news! I'm working on a new Gentle Reference... This is a plant I've drawn as a back drop for a bird... Coming soon...

“By the way, the type of church she belongs to, the diocese – talks about the ‘full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons’ I just want to say that includes paedos!..” Josh Howie on GB News. Planted at GB News Headquarters, Swan Lane, London. www.ThePansyProject.com

"Nearly 94% of species identified as threatened, and thus at direct risk of extinction, received no support." This is absolutely in no way surprising for anyone who has a passing interest in conservation, but pretty stark when the figures are laid out like this 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.” Donald Trump, inaugural Presidential speech, 2025. Marking anti-trans & anti-LGBTQ+ Executive Orders. Planted at the American Embassy, London. #ThePansyProject

#HowitStarted The first pansy I planted to mark my own experience of #Homophobia in Manchester in 2005... Twenty Years Ago... The birth of @ThePansyProject Read more on my website thepansyproject.com/wp-content/u...

One of the most frequently asked questions about The Pans Project, is how did it all begin? A statement I wrote years ago still lives on my website. Though as I approach the 20th year of planting I thought it should be looked at again... #ThePansyProject - thepansyproject.com/about/

When reflecting on twenty years of #ThePansyProject I decided to draw twenty pansies to help me access my memories… The result is an essay, available now on my website: thepansyproject.com/wp-content/u...

An outrageous removal of the 'T' from the Stonewall Memorial website is a disgusting and deliberate revision of historical fact. The current administration should be ashamed... "For Stonewall, Christopher Street, New York" Planted in 2019.

Paul does such important work—now more than ever. So grateful he's part of my book and film, OUT IN THE STREETS (@queerstreetart.bsky.social)

I've been planting pansies at sites of homophobia and transphobia since 2005, twenty years of planting. I've been reflecting on what I've learnt over the last decades in an essay, available on my website: thepansyproject.com - "Twenty Pansies Essay" #ThePansyProject20 And I'm about to plant more...

I planted this pansy in New York in 2019 on the Christopher Street Pier for Marsha P Johnson, Her body was found in the Hudson river in 1992. There's a lot of controversy and debate surrounding the nature of their death. We may never know the exact details. #lgbtqhistorymonth
