My band has a single out next month and I've been learning how to animate to make the video. I feel like I have found my most recent Hyper Focus! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8h6... #animation

Heron Foods. North Shields. 2026. #art #photography #townscape #heronfoods

I got to recharge at Tate Modern this week and finally got to see Cildo Meireles - Babel. I hadn't expected to care as much as I did about the Giacometti exhibition. But it was exquisitely curated. Light and shadows. Introspection. Art for introverts. I got emotional. #art #curating #tatemodern

What is the charge? Sharing a succulent limited edition record release? On no commission Bandcamp day? signalsmmx.bandcamp.com/album/ds-xxiii I see you know Judo as well! #noisebient #fieldambient #generative #ambient #newmusic

I have a record out, listen and find out more here - signalsmmx.bandcamp.com/album/ds-xxiii I am so happy about this. #music #ambient #dust #darkambient #fieldrecording

My band lurches into life every ten years. We are so close to bringing a new album out that I am seriously proud of. Give us a follow. Here is a really old track for when we used to rock up to for gigs with just two Game Boys and a microphone.

View from the Rendezvouz.

I saw this in a shop window once. I wish I had asked more questions. #themedspatulas

I'm releasing some of my sound-based stuff on signalsmmx.bandcamp.com in a month or two. Great Label. Check it out. (Under my _DS nom de plume.) #soundart #ambient #discreetmusic

Here is to a brighter, calmer, fairer year in 2026 friends. 2025 was a too much.

Very happy to have gotten a @lordfuckpuppy.social calendar for Christmas! look great!

Which way is up? #photography #beach #sky #clouds

Bad photo of a screen ready to print. This is going to be Tycho crater. Thanks to @flat-fox.bsky.social for the support on this one! Can't recommend them enough. #print #screenprint #crater #workinprogress

Working on a new album. I shared a small part of it here: youtu.be/ITgyGgh96yk #ambient #music

Love this project!

I've been quiet. I'm nearly finished with a drawing that has taken me about 2 months. If all goes well, it will become a screen print. Will share soon, hopefully.

The monsters are done and on my studio wall. Each one was to learn a new technique. It feels like time to slow down a bit, make notes, do some sketching, take some photos, think and plan. #art #artiststudio #monsters #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #silkscreen #screenprint #artistspractice

IT IS FINISHED! The Curse of the Wolfman has been lifted! #art #screenprint #silkscreen #printmaking #wolfman #universalmonsters #archetypes #classichorror #artistprocess

Screen exposure went south today. I think I applied the emulsion too thick, then overcompensated with the pressure washer, knocking chunks off it. I'm hoping to finish the Wolfman's last layer tomorrow. Then I will finally be free from the #curseofthewolfman

Layer four of five. #art #screenprint #silkscreen #printmaking #wolfman #universalmonsters #archetypes #classichorror #artistprocess

Layer Three is done. Two more to go. Still wishing I had included a shocking pink layer. Oh well. Next time! #art #screenprint #silkscreen #printmaking #wolfman #universalmonsters #archetypes #classichorror #artistprocess

Stage Two of today's print. Getting things lined up. I love these colours so much, I wish I had chosen them for the print! #art #screenprint #silkscreen #printmaking #wolfman #universalmonsters #archetypes #classichorror #artistprocess

All going well, I should be printing this layer today! #art #screenprint #silkscreen #printmaking #wolfman #universalmonsters #archetypes #classichorror #artistprocess

Layer Two. Layer three is where it is going to start to pop, I think! #printmaking #art #screenprint #silkscreen #wolfman #universalmonsters

Does anyone else need a whole day to stare anxiously off into the infinite void after they come to the end of a complicated project? Is there like a standard Gantt chart entry for resourcing an existential dopamine deficit? #projectmanagement #whatdoesitallmean

First layer. #printmaking #art #screenprint #silkscreen #wolfman

This photo represents a massive victory in the studio. Watch this space! #wolfman #silkscreen #art #printmaking

It has taken a full week to dial in a working photo emulsion set up for screen printing. Also can you guess what classic I’m building the layers for at the moment? #screenprint #printmaking #art #nosferatu #classichorror

It is finished! Lots of learning with this one. Very excited to immediately start another print! #art #silkscreen #printmaking #dracula #universalmonsters #belalugosi

Drying ready for the last layer! #screenprint #art #printmaking

Layer Four. One more layer to go! Happy #worldgothday #art #printmaking #dracula #silkscreen #screenprint #universalmonsters #belalugosi

I'm afraid the Wolfman print failed. I used heavily textured paper stock. I tried to get around it by soaking the paper. Experienced printers will know that this warps the paper = My registration for the second layer was all to pot. Oh well, I guess I am now a slightly more experienced printer..

It's ready for inking (probably tomorrow) #art #linocut #linoprint #printmaking

This layer is taking a while to cut.. #art #linocut #linoprint #printmaking #universalmonsters #lonchaney #wolfman

Layer 3! #screenprint #art #belalugosi #printmaking #universalmonsters #classichorror

Layer two of my first screenprint. #belalugosi #dracula #art #printmaking #universalomonsters #classichorror

First layer finally printed! I love how it stained the block. #printmaking #linoprint #linocut #art #wolfman #lonchaney #universalmonsters #classichorror

Just got my copy of 'ghosts turn milk green' by @deadspiderhands.bsky.social It's realy great. Very happy to add it to my zine collection! #zines #illustration #art

Nearly ready for the first layer. #art #linocut #linoprint #universalmonsters #lonchaney #classichorror #wolfman

These are two boring pictures of my first attempt at screen printing. The base layer is done, and lessons were learnt! #screenprinting #printmaking #artprocess #artistsprocess #art

Progress report on The Wolfman, it's just at the drawing on lino stage. I think I'm going to have to start with a black layer on this. I've never done that before. #linocut #linoprint #wolfman #lonchaney #universalmonsters #classichorror #art #printmaking

This was supposed to be a layer plan for my next linocut piece, but I got lost in the detail. I need to make some choices.. #printmaking #art #wolfman #univesalmonsters #classichorror #lonchaney

Nearly ready to print. I think too much about every line I cut.. #linocut #linoprint #art #printmaking

Last layer underway. #art #linocut #linoprint #printmaking
