We bumped into Mrs Claus in a shopping centre in the North Pole where she was trying to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

She didn’t seem particularly impressed and is coming to the Vault Christmas Market to get her gifts made by human hands instead. Hurrah!!!!!!

When we founded @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social in the deep past of 2017 we did so with the idea that art could improve things, that art could build and enrich communities and make radical creative change to our home city of Belfast.

Every year I design the @vaultartiststudios.bsky.social Christmas Market poster and this year I was going to go with an abstract torn paper design like you might find on a billboard in Europe but as soon as I started the design it sent this way and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
