The Far Right use the tactics of common domestic abusers, as do extremists of every stripe now including elected leaders. Just so these men know, we see the gaslighting, lying, DARVO and playing the victim for exactly what it is and you for exactly what you are. Cowards.

Not a LibDem but this is not party politics: #bradford Council is sneakily trying to sell off Ancient Woodland Buck Wood a site of great natural beauty and archeological interest. Please sign and save our natural heritage! www.bradfordlibdems.org.uk/news/article...

I harvested the lavender today and hung it by the front door so it smells nice when people come in 😊 #home

My latest trophy scar 😂 #totalkneereplacement

I always thought the tagline on this was interesting - ‘thick skin’. No mention of the reason why, which was the men in the audience screaming violent threats and sexually abusive insults at me while I performed, in a way they absolutely did not do at the male performers.

Tower: acrylic on approximately A1 canvas. Did this the day before my operation, it changes as you walk past it due to the metallic elements in the composition. For Sale. #art #artist

So that’s the second knee replacement done! Now for three months in ‘lounge wear’ at home 😂 #totalkneereplacement #surgery #hospital #borednow😂

You cannot hide the soul.

So Dexter: Resurrection Ep. 3 has a tattooist called Joolz being stalked by a serial killer, the remake of Pet Sematary nicked my Herne drawing for their Wendigo, and let’s not mention Gaiman’s Grendel and my original Grendel … now look at this comic

Selfie.

They can stop me performing and they can refuse to publish my work but they can’t stop me writing or being a poet.

Distressed logo. Designed and tattooed by me. #tattoo #bandtattoo #ifyouknowyouknow

Sunset Hare, Lino print on scrap of blue handmade paper. #hare #linoprint #art #artist #joolzdenby

so you suppose I’m afraid of the devil?

Obviously when you can’t sleep because it’s so warm and humid you get up and find an old Lino cut and print it. This is a rollered blood red background on newsprint, again I like it because it’s handmade and looks it. Antler Skull, A4-ish, Lino print on recycled newsprint paper. #art #artist

A Drop Of Sea. Designed and tattooed by me at my studio, Studio Bijoux, Bradford.

I can’t explain why I find this so satisfying. Perhaps because it’s the antithesis of all those super clean AI graphics and it would make a banging Tshirt done very large on a big thick cotton white shirt.

The Black Knot. Lino print on handmade cotton waste paper. A5. #art #linoprint

More work on the Great Spirit Key Tree, expand for detail. #tattoo

Work continues on the Great Spirit Key Tree. #tattoo

Batty McBatface Goes Goth. Cover up tattoo created by me at my studio.

Summer Hare. A5 Lino print. Can’t decide with, or without the red sun. Also on the fridge on recycled tissue paper. These are of course for sale at £25 each, which includes postage and packaging but due to Brexit, postal costs apply outside the uk.#art

The Giant Tree cover up back piece continues.

NB: because you want a thing to be true does not necessarily mean it is. Because you feel strongly about something does not give you the right or moral authority to lie in support of it or make up stories on social media. A lie is a lie.

Happy World Goth Day. Here’s me being Goth when young. #goth #worldgothday #gothic #poet #artist #joolz

Portrait of Old Crow. He is the Keeper of the High Wall, first light on the parapet and last shadow at dusk. His feathers are weather-laced, more soot than silk, streaked with wisdom & a hint of contempt. Nothing escapes him—not the rustle of rat in ivy, nor the flicker of doubt in your heart. #art

Bird. Ink, acrylic and seawater.

So I made it up the mountain to the chapel, one year after getting the Tin Knee. It’s about a 3 kilometre loop but very steep and rocky. I expect it would have been easier if I’d done it in actual shoes not crocs but hey. I did it and I am extremely pleased. #crete #sougia

Mati. Beach stone and acrylic. #art
