Printing some sleeves for a new CD album I’ve been working on about the edible fungi I’ve foraged around West Yorkshire over the years. First bit of lino printing I’ve done in a long while, it’s proving pretty challenging with my chronic hip pain.
No I won’t tell you my spots!

There’s a Government consultation regarding the appalling welfare reforms for disabled people. PIP has been a lifeline for me whilst I’ve been struggling with my hip disability and endlessly wait for NHS treatment, there are many people that rely on it even more than me. Tell them what you think!
Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper
This consultation seeks views on the approaches government should consider around reform of the health and disability benefits system and employment support.

Got a bit of a quiet spell at the moment if anyone’s in need of artwork, record sleeves, t-shirts, a drawing of your dog, etc etc. I’ve done stuff for Richard Dawson, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Pelt, Elkhorn, Pretty Lightning, MV&EE, Wooden Wand and many others. Might be more affordable than you expect!

NHS waiting list question. If you have a surgery and it doesn't fix the problem and then you're referred for a second surgery (same consultant) do you go back to the start of the waiting list or go from where you left off? I was never actually at the front of the queue as I got a cancellation.
