And I wept for the wild and dirty world
To which this beauty now was lost
And cursed the hungry mind of man
That feeds the future at such cost
From Bill Caddick’s song ‘unicorns’
Art mine. Made with my hands on paper.
with cotton buds and solvent and love

#ArtAdventCalendar day 24
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.
May love and joy come to you.
Merry Christmas everyone

Crow embrace
This one is for everyone else out there who will have empty chairs at their table this Christmas.
Whether it’s death or distance that separates us, the absence of the loved is keenly felt right now
Holding you all in the light
Over the past few days I have carefully packed up and sent out these three pieces of my art to new homes
One has already arrived and the response was
‘This is even more fabulous than it looked online!’
reminded why I spend my life making paper dirty
Long live analog art

Selkie mother. From my Myths in isolation series.
For everyone else missing someone today x
It’s another cold and hoarfrost trimmed morning here. So todays #ArtAdventCalendar is from the Commonplace book. Lise and Herrick meeting in the snow.
This is of course the magic world of childhood dreaming where coats are unnecessary, even in a blizzard…
#ArtAdventCalendar day 15
On which a rescue kitten will arrive at our house here to keep the Cally company.
She does not know this yet, and is close to the age to become Nekomata so we will tread carefully…

#ArtAdventCalendar day 14. A commissioned piece illustrating an imagined scene from The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner. The client loved it and client now wants a second, depicting Grimnir.
I will enjoy that 😉 (And no feathers thank goodness 😅, they took forever!)
@Handsome_Frank Illustration for ‘The salmon man’ for Colin Urwin’s book of Antrim folktales, The Madman’s window. Out next year
In December I send my £5 and above patrons on #Patreon a signed postcard print through the post with a note of my huge gratitude for their support (they are all utterly fabulous to do what they do, no question ❤️)
Trying to decide between these four… 🧐
