Nobody should ever have to do a gofundme for something like this! Please help if you can or share!

haha serving you pup, tiger, and “queer art space founder realness” in one fresh tee. Brand new Pup and Tiger gear, because if you’re going to start a radical café and art space, you might as well dress the part?

Hey, it's-a-me. 👋 In times like these, having real, physical queer spaces matters more than ever. If you can, help us build one. Go now. Every bit counts 💛 #pupandtiger #queerspace #queerart

Uh oh Labubu has started

Look at that eyebrow crease. Too much deep thinking!

A couple days ago, construction across the way turned our garden into an accidental pond, heavy machinery met a water line. It’s fixed now, but still soggy enough to consider feeding ducks.

“Fabulous All the Way Down (Tortoise Spiral)” is about the cycles we survive—queer resilience, slow strength, and beauty through hard times. The spiral turns, and we rise. Fabulous is inevitable. 🌈 Support at Vision Backer level & get the print: 👉 pupandtiger.co.uk/donate

Feeling listless… haha entertain me 😁

I had a dream that Keanu Reeves was working in London and had a project in Manchester, so decided to move to Birmingham so I was helping him and giving him advice on how to adjust? I don't really have any particular affinity to KR and never been to Birmingham, so woke up confused...

You can own a piece of my art here and support Pup and Tiger too! In Huysmans’s novel Against Nature, the tortoise becomes a symbol of decadence and a queer aesthetics — embodying the slow, deliberate pace of a life removed from societal norms. 👉 pupandtiger.co.uk/donate #QueerArt #PupAndTiger

If you want insight into what my internal monologue sounds like on a good day, it might be a lot like this?

Sun comes out in UK and everything gets quiet on here. 😂

It always amazes me when an artist or writer I really admire donates to something I’m working on…Thank you Douglas! £500 in 48 hrs. Can you get us to £1500 by midnight tonight?? Donate and share: £5, £20, £100 — it all matters.

We did a friendly little introduction! haha don't judge! Can we get to £1500 by Friday? We’re building a creative, welcoming space where LGBTQ+ art and community can thrive. pupandtiger.co.uk/donate

Hey! We’re doing a 48-hour push to raise £500 more by Friday. If you’ve been thinking of pledging or sharing, now’s the moment! Link’s in our bio 💛 thank you so much.

Thanks! Always love seeing it in the “wild”!

Went out this weekend to bar that just opened in old Victorian underground toilet called the John (not pictured). Great people and inspired! Also thanks to everyone who’s gotten behind and hyped our crowdfund to open the new space! Amazing what happens when leave the house @pupandtiger.bsky.social

This is my new project and feels very necessary in the current world situation, so please get behind and help me with a donation if you can and reshare?

I’m excited about some stuff that’s about to happen and has been in the works for a while. Can I be any vaguer?

Is it still considered gardening if it’s just putting into a basket?

Excited to see the new UCA degree show. Always like this time of year. Please share: #UCA #Canterbury #ContemporaryArt #degreeshow #universityforthecreativearts

Been thinking… the world needs spaces for queer joy and creativity. Seems particularly necessary with everything now as physical spaces. If you’re into this idea let’s connect. Give this a boost, share with your circle, and stay tuned. Exciting things ahead. #QueerArt #CommunityBuilding #StayTuned

Do you ever look at your camera roll and wonder why you have certain pics?

Looking at an idea of having to undo in order to create something new. Interview I did for my first book Solvent Form at #DennisCooper: "I actually grew up in places where a lot of these notions of the art world were viewed from afar." @manchesterup.bsky.social denniscooperblog.com/please-welco...

If I didn’t take a pic walking to the gym does it still count?

Hey art people, have you been finding good art on here in general? I'm still having a problem with finding people I know from other networks and less art networks than I was hoping? Is this others or just me? Any luck?

Thanks everyone! Continuing the Agnes Martin at @pupandtiger.bsky.social

Just because I love Agnes Martin. Ever read her artist writings?

“To understand America, to really appreciate it, is to fundamentally misunderstand it at the deepest levels”

The perfect t-shirt does not exi…

Trying to share more art. Here’s the ebook/folio of prints and interviews I did around A Quiet Life www.pappaskelley.com/_files/ugd/5...

This is someone you should be following and amplify if you are interested in art and mental health. Love their projects (and ahem: have even shown with them)!

Current mood:

This is actually my morning Canterbury route along the river Stour. #Canterbury

Wandering around a bit in Canterbury on a cloudy day. #Canterbury

Ok, wow what a morning... A bit frantic but also some exciting stuff in the works so that balances out a bit? But update, I'm enjoying bluesky and thanks for all the people who have reached out or said hi. Makes everything feel a bit more human and appreciated.

A series of images and text I did as Portents: “As an artist, that is often what I find myself attempting, to make a truth visible and to bring it into proximity, so that it might be perceived before sticking my finger in your eye” #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt

Why did I wake up at 6:40 when I didn’t need to? Coffee in my burrito oodie to ponder.

I did an interview at 3:AM a while back about my book Stalking America: “I tend to see myself most keenly in contrast to other people. His approach gave me permission to examine that contradiction” #3amMagazine www.3ammagazine.com/3am/qa-jared...

Good morning. There was a moment during the pandemic, amidst fear & grief, that felt as if we were rethinking what was of value. We now have a Labour govt who are punishing those most in need, threatening PIP and other benefits. It’s horrifying to do this at the expense of disabled people’s lives.

Happy Tuesday for all those who observe. Also: follow here @pupandtiger.bsky.social to keep up with what will be happening with the new art space and see progress. Exciting news in the next couple of weeks and please share and follow and hype and all that! #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt

For neurodiversity celebration week, two things you can do: 1) Read a neurodivergent-approved article about it (there's a lot of bullshit out there) 2) Don't donate to one of the big charities... Give your money directly to a neurodivergent person (buy us a coffee or something) 💁‍♂️

What is it with these medieval dogs on tombs at Canterbury Cathedral? Is this like… supposed to be a French bulldog? …or? #Canterbury

This dog has definitely seen some things at Canterbury Cathedral. #Canterbury

Feel like my coffee is trying to tell me something?

hmm thinking about if art meant something? “Holding up a thing and saying silently this is important, it means something, and if you look in just a certain manner, reframing it, you might see something previously imperceptible.”

Um let’s do this?

Basic, but sometimes it’s just pretty

I want to open my window cuz it’s sunny out but there’re literally builders on a platform outside 6 inches away looking in (note: not a metaphor)

New on here but this is definitely something you should be following! Have a look and please help to get word out and share. Thanks
