They're are bloody amazing. The harkening back to those gold ol' days of classic design, and particularly El Greco where I took my mum for a brew and a birthday custard slice during her lunch break one year. Ignites all the fond memories of a bustling Blackburn Town.

There’s been a lot of love for my #Blackburn designs. I’m an illustrator based in Manchester but I’m Blackburn born and bred. Have a look gailmyerscough.co.uk/hometown

On behalf of all good UK creators, Fuck Brexit

Hand on heart, I thought the ridiculous thing about every small business artist needing to hire an EU-based representative for every item they sell to the EU was rightly shot down - apparently it was just delayed until the month after next and we're all ruined

Brexit may have defeated my ability to send a greeting card to Europe, but I am still here making bold prints, cards, homewares and t-shirts. UK orders very welcome. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

everyone should check out @gailmyerscough.co.uk - her work is idiomatic and excellent. she also does corporate commissions, and is fast, efficient and very client-focused. love this print!

Remember, every order you place with Gail is professionally overseen by Pete and that's a guarantee.

Pete the studio cat’s weekly report. “Another week of keeping this studio running. She does the designing. I do everything else. She wouldn’t last two minutes without me.” 🐾

Ruud. Beautiful cat in his favourite chair. Preston Bus Station cushion by the very talented @gailmyerscough.co.uk

Just bought a couple of gorgeous mancunian mugs - go check them out: www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/product-page...

I'm drinking coffee out of one of Gail's mugs right now. Highly recommended. This one even matches my decor!

We love our cushions from Gayle.. only one in this shot but there is another gracing a matching chair

Independent creative businesses are quietly having a tough time right now. So if there’s a maker, illustrator or designer whose work you love, this is a good time to tell people about them. Buy something if you can. Share their work if you can’t. This is me www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

Getting high off my own supply (tbh I think it’s too sweet. ).

Same here unfortunately. Will be ceasing sales to the EU & Northern Ireland very soon, it's just become impossible. It's easier to send a set of mugs or a poster to Japan than it is to post it to Belfast.

The Great Myerscough Frame Up has begun!

Tough enough running a small business, but Brexit just added to that struggle. Anyhow, have a look at @gailmyerscough.co.uk’s online shop - so many fab things!

I can't adequately express how angry this makes me. As Gail explains, this will affect all businesses in the UK but will hit small businesses particularly hard. That it affects sales to the EU is ridiculous enough, but Northern Ireland? It's part of the UK, ffs! The people there should be rioting.

Rejoin the EU. Get it done.

It is completely mad that we did this to ourselves. Where is the benefit in stopping independent, small, creative businesses from trading in the EU? Oh, and take a look at Gail's designs, they're fab.

Absolutely shameful stuff. Small businesses have been absolutely gutted by Brexit and politicians just leave them hanging out to dry because they don't have the voice (money) of AI tech bro corporate types

This is the reality of Brexit for small businesses in Britain. BTW Gail's art is excellent. I've got one of her CD and vinyl themed phone cases. Worth checking her website out...although only not if in the EU or N Ireland now sadly.

Shameful that it has come to this. Small businesses have been shafted by Brexit - and for every small business there's an owner who is trying their hardest to make it work and this is just deeply unfair. But you know... blue passports and all that.

Some news - you can read it all in the alt text www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

Happy 10th Anniversary to the best “The Missus Wife” @gailmyerscough.co.uk a “hubby” could wish for. Here’s a thing I wrote about our amazing day www.theguardian.com/profile/matt...

Look what @gailmyerscough.co.uk got me for our tin (tenth) anniversary (correct bean choice)

Ten years! Happy anniversary @mjowen174.bsky.social ❤️

Brilliant quality t-shirts from @gailmyerscough.co.uk

Brexit wrecked my merch sales practically overnight. On top of that, google ai overview of me is a smorgasbord of hallucinations. #SlowClap

I used to regularly buy from UK artists, but since Brexit, it’s just too much hassle. For the artists - and then I get charged customs fees. Only do it now if I know I’m going to Scotland and can pick goods up myself.

And this, people, is why we need to rejoin the Single Market and customs union ⬇️

It cannot be said enough: everyone responsible for this, voters and politicians, should hang their heads in fucking shame.

If you haven’t got Instagram here’s the whole sorry tale…

well, I just got hailed on to such an extent I a) had to break into a run and b) dash into the nearest refuge, but when I got home my new T-shirt from @gailmyerscough.co.uk 's online shop was waiting for me, so that's me happy anyway:

For @gailmyerscough.co.uk

So many SMEs are suffering due to Brexit. Sadly, the bubbleheads in Westminster don’t care.

Thanks Brexit for all the untold damage 😡

Selling a £9.99 book to the EU comes with all the same issues that Gail talks about in her post. Post Brexit it’s impossible for us indies.

I’ve put a thing on Instagram about the joys of trying to sell to the EU after #Brexit. www.instagram.com/p/DYRoCPBjE3...

@gailmyerscough.co.uk Looking good

It's #NationalStationeryWeek, which seems like a good enough reason to talk about cards. There are now over 80 card designs in my shop. £3 each or 5 for £12. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/greeting-cards

My fabulous new phone case arrived this week and I love it. Go and have a look and treat yourself to Gail's designs. You won't regret it.

I know I keep banging on about my designs but it’s not easy being a small business at the moment. Take a look at my wares and please repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk Thanks!

Have just ordered some greetings cards from @gailmyerscough.co.uk . She's got such a lovely range of items - check out her shop.

Pete is planning a heist

Good news for anyone outside the UK. I can now send unframed prints to the EU, US and Australia from within those countries. No customs charges, no import surprises. Just prints. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/prints

I just treated myself to a National Theatre on blue (which I’ve been eyeing for months). Go buy yourself some beautiful brutalism or retro records - amazing value and 10% off first orders. Not sponsored, just a fan.

Pete says hi 😺
