A magenta cloud rises
against the ebony sky
It's day’s last breath
Midnight is being born
What artist-soul climbs
to light the world
and turn our gaze
from its rounded weight?
Perhaps so
we might look upward
and, past our fears,
move more freely?

This fierce folk creation by Amandine Barbet, stands guardian in the dampened marsh, born of the earth's oldest secrets, a beautiful vision of wild, witchy art.

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.
#fineart ##pleinair #Cambridge
On the spot watercolour drawing of Green Street, Cambridge (with Indian ink using a dip pen). I loved the extravagant shop signs but wasn't so keen on my rendering of the Halifax Building Society sign and I don't think I ever exhibited this one. However, on digging it out of a storage portfolio I decided I liked it after all. Cambridge was a nicer place then with more character. Many much loved shops have disappeared, replaced by eateries.

This. Human beings are not just *JOBS*. Human existence is not just business and economics. FFS. Christ I just want a government that values human lives - AND ALL OF THEM at that…

I just can’t understand this insistence on measuring the worth of humans simply as economic units. The barista who helps their neighbour and loves their family are as much part of community than a surgeon! No society can have any value without all the people that form its component parts.

Spookified photograph of horses and animals on the Brighton Pier carousel. They have been rendered in black, white and grey with an overlay at top of reddish sepia. Behind them are mirrors in the centre of the carousel that look out at us with dead eyes. The animals are ghostly and viewed with an astigmatic eye.

Thank you for the opportunity 😊

I create little creatures, mostly with textiles.
Each character is unique and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect.

They can be adopted on my website littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com

Photo collage of a selection of textiles dolls. There are many characters, they all look happy and slightly imperfect. There are Fairies, pumpkin girls, a pink hair girl on a stand, a little pig and a two heads doll.

Not my small business, but one I have purchased from.

Quirk & Whimsy does porcelain one-off works from her studio in Surrey, as well as unique greetings cards and other gifts.

This time of year, you can also find their stall in Winchester Christmas Market.

I continue to sell brooches and pins inspired by historic artworks from public collections!

Each one comes mounted in a greetings card which depicts the original artwork on the front and provides context for the art inside, and I do free first-class postage in the UK.

www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Badg...
A wooden brooch in the shape of a fan depicts a wintery river scene by Hiroshige. The brooch rests on fabric printed with an octopus. An irregularly-shaped wooden brooch depicting a colourful abstract artwork by Kandinsky. The brooch is mounted inside a greetings card that provides some context for the artwork. Hands with gold-painted fingernails hold a wooden brooch cut to depict a waterlily. The original artist is Ohara Koson. An enamel pin rests on a background of leather, surrounded by foliage, spanners, and a bottle of Jägermeister. The pin features a clawed red hand gripping a sign with the word 'DEMON' on it.

Hi John! I'm a debut author and my new fantasy novel 'Atlantis: Children of the Gods' has just come out - would be a great gift for any mythology nerds. A reimagining of Plato's lost continent full of Gods, monsters and spooky shamanic powers:
