Time for the Monarchy to be fully accountable, if they wish to survive.

Who’s paying for Prince Andrew to live in the Royal Lodge?

Mini Comic: Heatwave

The heatwaves we had this summer were not for the faint of heart. At all. Pretty sure I died and ascended. More than once. .

You can tell which politics the papers support just by which marches and protests they cover.

100,000 people for trans rights? Zero coverage.

Max 250 people for racism? Breathless daily coverage, multiple articles and thinkpieces, talking heads going on TV to discuss ‘legitimate concerns’.

Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave.

Leeds "draws 70"
Cardiff "disorganised + small"
Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200"
Cheshunt about 250
Chichester: about 100
Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side

A cardboard box filled with paperbacks. The books are called Dimensions, the covers are a black background with the writing in white. There are green icons around the title. The green icons are an infinity symbol, a city scape, a skull, a bell book and candle.

Staying off the news this week (which is a first for me in years), though it can't be avoided altogether with using social media.

But my fortitude is at a low ebb, so for the sake of my brain, no doom scrolling this week. Fluffy stuff only. As you were.

#TBT The Tower
Loosely inspired by Glastonbury Tor. No reference pic so a bit ropy. Think it was an art prompt, may have been Inktober.

Just posted some recent artwork on Instagram and had to delete it as the compression ruined it.

Decided to change my banner, so uploaded a mixed media piece I did while ago. As the banner only shows a small portion...here it is. ❄️

US customers!
I will be closing orders on Wednesday 13th August until further notice due to Trump suddenly ending De Minimis.

I can't risk you getting $80 fees for a single shipment if USPS is not ready to collect taxes.

I will look at ways to reopen and update you when I can. Very sad times!

My feeling is torc makers of the past were aware of each other's work, but made their own styles. We can see it in end results - similar, but not the same, different hands at work.

In memory of the thousands of Japanese people that died on this day in Hiroshima, 1945, when the US military dropped a nuclear bomb called 'Little Boy'. Also, the thousands of Koreans who lived there as labour, and grieviously wounded returned home to shame and neglect.
