Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

Archie has been hassling me a lot lately, asking when he will be adopted. As a Monster Fosterer it is hard sometimes to find homes for these little guys. If you're interested in monster adoption, or would like to support them by buying the book, you can get notified here: buff.ly/RzCUUDN #monster

THREAD. Packing up yesterday for my house move, I found this: it was my mum's first attempt at capturing my cat The Bear (RIP) via a quick chalk sketch. 2013, perhaps? So simple, but so great, and it proved to be the catalyst for what has been a huge amount of creativity in her retirement...

Ernest appeared in my studio recently and I have promised them that I will do my best to find a new home for him. He's been eating my favourite biscuits and will occasionally chew on my old paintbrushes. You can find out more here: buff.ly/RzCUUDN #artbook #monster #cute #cutemonster #goblincore

Can someone explain why laundry detergent is so strong smelling? I can smell people from 60 paces! The ads even boast about it lasting for days after the wash, no thanks! Un-perfumed for me. Also what if someone wants to wear perfume, it would clash with the laundry stink? Never understood!

The monsters have completely taken over! They do have a way of multiplying and I really need to find these wee characters their forever homes. www.emilyhare.com #adoptiondrive #monsteradoption #monsters #cutemonster #newwebsite

Seems appropriate to reshare this old piece in light of the new revelations about “that” Bigfoot footage. A portrait of a sasquatch contemplating its own (non?)existence.

Head's up to anyone who has ever wanted to own some of my painting & mask originals! I'm included in this month's Changeling auction alongside my other talented colleague's amazing artworks.

“I don’t want to hear even the slightest amount of bullshit about how you didn’t need to ask for permission to use our names & use our identities. You just wanted to steal, so you stole. You wanted to take things w/o permission, so you did. It’s wrong.”

Got half way through A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms last night. I wish it had way more than only 4 more eps! What amazing telly! So beautifully shot, so well cast and fun writing too. Had attempted to get into Young Sherlock... holy crap that was cringe.

Sadly, I have nothing in this month's @changelingart.bsky.social auction, despite the theme being obviously up my street. I'm little more than a rotting scarecrow at the moment. 😞 But my frog does make an appearance as the auction banner. 🐸 Please check out the other artists' lovely pieces in it. 🙏💙

Aren't medieval dovecotes brilliant?

Perimenopause is really kicking my butt at the moment. SOOOOO sick of it. Give me puberty again any day, this shit is the worst.

THREAD. A collection of excellent scarecrows I have met on walks in the countryside. You will find the all-important caption to each photo in the alt text.
