What is collage? EVERYTHING IS COLLAGE! Happy Guy Collage and mixed media on paper 60 x 42cm Thank you to my esteemed colleagues in collage who joined me for collage club, i.e. sitting around a table, ripping and cutting and sticking and seeing what emerged. #collage #seabird #birdart #Leith

Every once in a while, I remember the guy I knew at uni who once got stopped and searched by police who found upon his person 64 packets of mayonnaise.

Such a strange happy-sad feeling to see a painting go off to live with a new owner. This one flew out of me, faster than any painting I'd painted before, and I love the energy that was captured in that process, working fiercely into wet paint. Prints are available: Felicityinkpen.bigcartel.com

open.substack.com/pub/felicity... New essay, about teaching art, and letting others solve the puzzle.

Just madly in love with the place where I live right now.

Today, I've had nothing to promote, nothing to sell, I've just been sat quietly, making a little zine about my current obsession with the ports of Leith. #leith #zine #zinemaking #leithart #leithartist

Help me make an art workshop playlist, folks: what songs do you think of when you hear the word "Sacrifice"?

Exhibition opening at Out of the Blue Drill Hall launch event tonight, Wednesday 15th April, 6.30pm to 8.30pm www.instagram.com/ootbdrillhal...

Beyond tired, and also it's #portfolioDay Lately, I've been inspired by the place where I live: the big blue skies, the mixture of the beautiful and the brutal, the connection to the sea. You can buy prints and originals here: felicityinkpen.bigcartel.com

For folks who love Leith, come down to EDINBURGH PUB OF THE YEAR 2026 The Dreadnought on Saturday, where I'll be having a print sale!

I know this is but a feeble distraction, but hey, it's been sunny in Leith this week, so I've been revisiting some of my favourite spots. #leith #artist #painter

If you're in Edinburgh, you like art, and you like visiting brilliant pubs, come to The Dreadnought on Saturday. I'll be there with my art that celebrates Leith

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

MOON JOY

Artists, share your moon #art

It can be hard to avoid the dread and just get on with painting, but today my friend took me to a sauna and a cold plunge, and my worry took a break for the afternoon, and I painted this:

Print drop for all you lovers of Leith out there: The Partial Demolition of Ocean Terminal, or, as Andrew from inlet_leith renamed it, Ocean Terminated. Yellow machinery and big blue skies against the remnants of Ocean Terminal and the Port of Leith Distillery.

Framed up, sold, and off to a new home. January Blue (Chancelot Mill), oil on board, 30x30cm For all you fans of big skies and big architecture, do not fear, prints are available. felicityinkpen.bigcartel.com #Leith #leithartist #oilpainting #chancelotmill #Leithart

I like writing. I do it sometimes, for fun. I write about small, real-life things, observations and stories, and then expand them to try and see a bigger picture. You can read what I write at open.substack.com/pub/felicity...

Charcoal drawing ASMR. The Purkinje cells of the cerebellum are some of the most beautiful in the brain, owing to their elaborate dendritic arbor - they have more branches than any other type of cell.

Yesterday, I remembered a friend I'll probably never see again felicityinkpen.substack.com/p/all-aboard...

What if the middle powers of the world took a lesson from 15 year old girls, and did a Regina George on the orange turd? Ice him out. Silently shun. I have never known psychological warfare like that between teenagers who understand the power of social isolation. I'm only half joking.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

I woke up the other morning thinking, "they're all mad, completely mad. Why is the news not reporting that these angry men are completely mad?"

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Drawing classes start at my studio at Out of the Blue Drill Hall on Thursday 26th March, 6pm -8.30pm

I'm teaching inky fishes later in the week, so I need to practice inky fishes.

Artists, quote with something silly!

A celebration of the light and the blues in Leith, featuring brutalist architecture, big boats, and the local fishmonger. All created with the same four colours: cadmium red hue, cadmium yellow hue, ultramarine blue, and cerulean blue. #leith #leithlife #leitharts #leithshore #oilpainting

There's a ChatGPT ad about a family farm where the owner says her family has been doing this for a hundred years and she doesn't want to be the one to screw it up and that's why she's getting advice from ChatGPT and, my God, can you people hear yourselves?

I love the Olympics so much. Every few years a bunch of people come to show us how good they are at some really niche thing and we all stop to watch and say wow you really are great at doing that niche thing.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

"Tax the rich and hold them to account for their crimes" could be one hell of a political platform, just saying

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

"History will not look kindly upon______" Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

I feel like America plotting to annex Greenland while masked state goons terrorise their own communities at will should encourage British press and politicians to reflect on what happens when you act like "far right" is an unfair slur rather than a necessary descriptor of a real political position.
