In a world where you can be anything - choose to be kind.

It was a good day to read this post. I hope it sparkles-up your day too.

Goodbye, Jane.

You are the reason I fell in love with science. You and Tom Lehrer. It's been a hell of a year.

RIP Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025

It's almost as if the United States is built on an ancient Indian burial ground. Oh, wait. Never mind.
The cost of art,
is life.

The price of art,
is a rich man's game.

The true value of art,
can only be measured by the soul.

On a scale of 1 to not-at-fucking-all, how surprised are we that Facebork #banned this picture? I am actually quite surprised...no bewbs, no guava, no dingle....oh wait. A small voice referencing #GBV. That must be it.

The Etymology of Ruin
Through a glass darkly

2025

There are Days when the world
Breaks
Days where everything is one way yesterday,
and another way tomorrow.
Everything before, happened to a different me.
Everything after, quietly whispers a dissonant narrative.

Reactions to the Kirk shooting are, if nothing else, a stark revelation of the zeitgeist of conservative America. Why beat your breast and weep for this individual and ignore the ongoing massacre of children in US schools, in Gaza, in the Ukraine?

The only way to stop this political violence is to stop the source of it, which is the movement led by Trump and Kirk and other virulent white supremacists. Don’t decry the violence while refusing to treat the cause of it. This is not an advocation of violence.

What’d I miss? Oh that guy who said the loss of a few lives were worth it to keep guns in crazy people’s hands was shot and killed today.

Stars in St. Poelten

For The Dresden Dolls upcoming appearance headlining a one-night-only show on Sept 13th 2025 for #Tangente Festival in St. Pölten, #Austria for a night of magic in the open air. I was commissioned to create the artwork for their tour poster.

On the 1st day of spring every year until 2021, I would go into my garden and bring in some Jasmine, put it by my bedside and deeply inhale the heady scent.

I miss the scent of Jasmine as though it were a dearly departed friend. Of all the things Covid took, I hate it the most for that.

I never watch reality TV because it celebrates a culture of people being mean to each other. Isn't life hard enough? The world is on fire, and the sky is falling, and you're shaming someone for being fat? How is that useful for the fundamental good of our species?

REQUIEM
For K and L.

Mixed media, 39 x 57cm

This artwork was made for a friend from days gone by, who is now a friend from now, and a collector of some of the best and most meaningful pieces I have made. It is in memory of her soulmate, whom she lost far too young.

When I was young,
I asked god
For four things.

Three times
She said
No.

I've just realised
I never asked
What she wanted.

I guess one out of four isn't bad.

I just turned 50. I'd regale you with the pearls of wisdom I gathered as I approach my dotage, if I could only remember where I left my pen, my glasses, and any fucks to give.
