Happy new year! I hope 2026 is kind to you all. I went for a brief Ne’erday walk and found some flowering quince - proof that even in the dark days of winter, there are little glimmers of hope if you look out for them. 🌺 #Bloomscrolling #Blossom #WinterWalk

That's the bells!! A very happy New year to all of you from me in Scotland. May 2026 bring great things to you. Lang may yer lum reek. This is an oil pastel painting of Edinburgh Castle. #HappyNewYear #Scotland #EdinburghCastle #Painting #OilPastel #Art

Betwixt one year and the next. A strange, yet oddly familiar, liminal space. #Edinburgh #Scotland #FromWhereIStood #LiminalSpaces

The tender-hearted have to cover themselves up, layer by layer. Wishing you a happy new week 🫶 #MacroMonday #ColorADay #PinkMon #photography #flowers #photohour #MinimalMonday #bloomscrolling #nature #thelittlethings #Poetry #Poem #Haiku #MicroPoem #FreeVerse #ImageAndVerse #EastCoastKin

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains. Hole’s “Live Through This” remains one of my favourite records of the 90s. 💟

#BlueskyArtShow #Holiday A little red cardinal has decided to perch on my tree. 🐦‍🔥

Those we love don’t go away they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. This can be such a hard time of year. A huge hug to you if you need it, whatever the reason.

Tonight’s Christmas Eve moon with a favourite unicorn standing atop the Mercat Cross on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Making this a Moonicorn - see, when you have a mythical beast as Scotland’s national animal we can make up all kinds of shit. May Christmas be full of love peace smiles & happy memories.

Happy Winter Solstice, Bluesky friends! ❄️ Always glad to reach this day in the calendar, and welcome the return of the light. This photo is from December 2022, when the Eildon Hills were looking pretty with their dusting of snow. #WinterSolstice #ScottishBorders #Landscape #Scotland #Snow

It’s #OpenHouse for #BlueskyArtShow, so here are an assortment of rather charming wee birdhouses I spotted in Amsterdam this week while visiting my sister! 🪶

It’s #OpenHouse on #BlueskyArtShow this week! I usually share my photography here, but today I wanted to share my mixed media artwork. It’s a piece that’s a hybrid of analogue & digital art: my hand-drawn illustrations, hand-lettering and digital collage elements. #GraphicDesign #MixedMediaArt

New on The Noise of Art… An Audience with Pam Hogg open.substack.com/pub/neilcoop... In honour of fashion designer Pam Hogg, who died in November 2025, a piece from 2018 in which Hogg talks about designing costumes for a brand new production of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Another pretty #sky for this week’s #BlueskyArtShow - throwback to Paris, August 2013. 🇫🇷 The huge Tyrannosaurus Rex was perched at one of the Bateaux Mouches stations on the River Seine. I always love the beautiful quality of the light in Paris whenever I visit the city. (Je reviendrai encore!)

This week’s #BlueskyArtShow theme is #sky so here’s the sky above Loch Morlich & the Cairngorm Mountains, in the Scottish Highlands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’ve spent a lot of time in that part of Scotland and love it dearly - it’s so beautiful. 📷 Photo taken by me in April 2022. #Scotland #Ecosse #Alba #Cairngorms

We're happy to announce that Bandcamp Fridays will be returning in 2026. Check out the full list of dates below and get your wishlists ready for the final #bandcampfriday of 2025 this Friday, December 5th.

Please help to save the swifts! Such lovely birds, so sad to hear they are a species on the UK red list, meaning their numbers are in critical decline. 💔 Requiring swift bricks in new builds (over a certain size) could help them find nest sites & their population to recover. #SaveOurSwifts

The Museum of Natural History is seeking contemporary art work for our upcoming exhibition, with a total budget of £7000. Please note that that this must include all costs including artist time, shipping, fees, production, and travel (if necessary).

Happy St. Andrew’s Day, folks! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
