They're just normal men ( @leo-joy-hg.bsky.social )

I'm so proud of this print of Odin I did today! #tetrapakprinting #tetrapak #printmaker #odin

Post interview treats!

Just had a job interview

It's way too late at night, but I wrote a thing: medium.com/@charllandsb... #transgender #terf #feminism #lgbtqia #lgbt #lgbtq

It's finally happened, @bolt451.bsky.social has got me painting #warhammer scenery! Actually, I've been wanting to for it for a while :) One, it's fun. Two, it's big enough that I can see all the details and three, I love that I am entering Frey's world a bit, I love her enthusiasm :D

I've recently got into #tetrapak printing!

It's blue Monday, apparently, so keeping myself cheerful by sharing some of my #sketchbook

@leo-joy-hg.bsky.social I love you my horseshoe crab 🥰

Yep, this is me!

I'm missing the art groups with he charity www.artforallmentalhealth.org.uk I watched The Night Manager last night before going to bed - I dreamt of Tom Hiddleston but rather than something hot and steamy, I dreamt I took him to AFAMH and got him to be our patron!!! Lol

Psst. Hey, come closer. No, closer. I have a New Year’s secret for you. It’s this: If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.

Happy new year from me and my sleepy sons #ratsky

Looking at job adverts on indeed has been fruitless. So I'm looking at craft market opportunities instead

💜Took part in a pan air painting competition and got a certificate 💜Made and showed art as part of Trans Pride Birmingham 💜Spent time really putting 100% into ED recovery 💜Sold art for the first time! (For AFAMH and myself) 💜Been artist in residence at a gallery (as part of AFAMH) 💜Made Friends

Sending good winter wishes to everyone! Whatever you celebrate or don't, I hope you feel as safe and surrounded by community as I do right now!! The world is a harsh place atm; all we have is each other. (The cherry beer has kicked in)

Etsy? Folksy? Or not worth the money and effort?

I spent today making cards :) I will be selling them in Worcester, in the #AtistAlley in Huntingdon Hall on Saturday 6th #Worcester #huntingdonhall #speakvolumesfestival #winterwishes #linoprint #linostamp #mistletoe

Them:"You should get some business cards printed, it doesn't cost much." Me:"No..."

Right. Lets start The Bolt451+LeoJoy #Ratvent calendar: Each day, a different photo from the archives. Rattos past and present. Day One. Well Novembers only just over, so here is Picard in 2020, with a spooky bed :)

My first multi layer print! I'm still working a few things out, but OMG! I'm so excited and proud of myself for this! I LOVE IT! #linoprinting #linoprint #multilayerprinting #multilayerlinoprint #printing #printmaker #autisticartist #visuallyimpairedartist #disabledartist #transartist #queerartist

I'd been thinking of using the 'professional' name of Leo Joy Art For etsy, craft fairs, etc. But I did have an etsy some years ago, I could maybe reopen but it's connected to old names and emails. Still like the name though. So Leo Joy Art or Wonky Spooks. What do you think?? #aspiringartist

With all that's been going on in my life (see my other account @leos.good.bad.wyrd ) I had completely forgotten I am going to be part of Artist Alley Worcester on the 6th December!!! Luckily, Sy, who has very kindly invited me to share their table (so has done all the hard work) reminded me today!

Suddenly having lots to do is the kick up the bum I needed! I'm not sure how much I can get done, but, at the very least, I get to spend a day with my friend :) I had already planning to get busy because, Art For All Mental Health have been donated a week at @gardensgallery! 10th - 16th.

This is Custard and Miss Mouse

Today, I woke up in a foul mood. But I've done painting, seen friends and experienced a massive kindness from a stranger. Happiness restored :)

Nearly ready to print this but I'm so scared! I've never done a multi layer print before. I've bought registration clips, got cardboard to make a frame. I've been carving this on and off for months! (life and other prints) and I'm nervous to finally print on Friday! Wish me luck!

Watching Make it at Market and dreaming... (I should be cleaning the flat and job hunting) #aspiringartist #transartist #disabledartist #visuallyimpairedartist #queerartist #transartist #autisticartist

Had a play with watercolour pencils, whilst visiting my wife in hospital

I started doodling whilst watching TNG the other week. Can you guess the episode?

Do i use this account just gor sharing my art? Or do I share my thoughts and random fun stuff? I'm thinking the latter

4. Viktor Featherless Bipedal Behold a man!

Just got IDed for monster, bless that chap from tesco

I was lucky enough to be able to go to three, 2 hour blacksmithing sessions, fully funded by a local charity for adults with autism

I didn't need to come out as #bisexual to my friends as a teen; they just saw my tumblr dedicated to how much I loved Helena Bonham Carter

Sold my first rat print!

My friend Sy and I are selling in Worcester at huntingdon Hall today!

My favourite print I've made. #hrt #lgbtsymbols #transart #transartist #queerartist #queerart #lgbtart ##linoprint #printing #disabledartist #visuallyimpairedartist

Fao @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social Me and @leo-joy-hg.bsky.social having our first dance as Grace Petrie plays "Incompetent love song "

A Problem Shared I'm so pleased with this! I tried it in red too and I'm going to have a play. Now, if i could only get it central!! #linoprinting #linostamp #linocut #linoprint #printing #linocarving #visuallyimpairedartist #disabledartist #queerartist #transartist #barbedwire

Earlier this year, I took part in an art exhibition as part of #transprideBirmingham. See my Instagram (@leo_joy_hg) for details if you're interested #queerart #lgbtart #transart #mixedmedia #embroidery #linostamps #linoprinting #queerhistory #lgbthistory

This is the pendant made by @mrsethcorbin.bsky.social and an old photo of both of us, at #transpridebrighton

January this year, I joined a printing group through a local charity Art For All Mental Health. This was the first lino stamp I made! Based on a pendant (from the lovely Seth, HardWearUK) which was based on the type of testosterone we are prescribed. Made with soft lino and oil based ink

This charity has changed my life and I am so grateful! Please look, donate if you can and join, if you're local to #Gloucestershire and have/recovering from mental health issues Home | Art For All Mental Health share.google/tmyy3eEp3Ije...

I had to fight to be diagnosed as autistic but it was one of the best things I've ever done! It has enabled me to not work, finally, fully attempt recovery, rediscover hobbies, find hope and even begin to dream again!

Hello! I'm Leo, I'm 35, He/Him, Sie/Hir or anything as long as you are respecting me. I'm visually impaired, late diagnosed autistic and in recovery (bulimia mostly).

I am a monster drinker I drinks it all of the day Ooh arr ooh arr.
