Her design was inspired. It works across all platforms and above all her she is quick and maintains great contact throughout the process. I highly recommend Jane for any design projects as she’s lovely to work with and a top professional in her field.'

Has anyone else been getting Error code 2 on #Adobe InDesign files in the last couple of days? Possible issue with Windows 11? I'm hoping this has fixed the issue. helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-...

Thank you to Anne at Business Gateway. As a sole trader, sometimes it can be a little lonely trying to solve issues on my own. It was excellent to have Anne's perspective and insight. I am grateful for the advice on keeping my design and illustration business sustainable. 💫💐

A small business update: I’ve had to put my prices up a little for new work. It’s not something I do often, but it helps keep things sustainable so I can keep doing this properly. Thank you for understanding and supporting independent creatives.

I am excited to share the cover of Samantha Terrell's forthcoming poetry collection, 'For, On Or After.' In this lovely book, Samantha reflects on memory, art and self-awareness. She considers where our stories overlap, exploring inheritance, loss, joy, and everyday moments that quietly shape us.
The cover art and design for 'For, On, Or After,' a poetry collection by Samantha Terrell, featuring my mixed media drawing of a heart, with black text.

Alone as Cinderella Last dusk, my Fairy Godmuse spied on me, confuzzled as to cause, this dormant state; bore witness as I passed the lonely hours foul-mouthing maledictions, slurs at fate. Post laughter, after cleansing of the ears, thought 'With a tongue like that, he has a chance.' Our medium? Concluded poetry, gave wave of magic wand and here I am. Alone as Cinderella at her ball, I dance and weave, almost believe each line, resemble everything I wish I was, neglect to keep one eye upon the time till quarter before midnight; sorry folks, my pumpkin cab awaits, ta-ra, goodbye.

I'm working on cover art using watercolour paint. Looking at all my little mistakes, the tidelines, the little scuffs, I am tempted to leave them in as they were made by a human, not AI. It is my honest work, and the effort and challenge are rewarding.

Good morning! It's great to be back to #PoemsAbout #Static.
Thank you to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk .
Poem: Laundered In the arid, winter-dark a thousand sparks fly, looking for a conductor, any could cause a conflagration-- infinite possibilities (to breathe free) imagine if we could (stop shooting) wash and rinse in sun-streams and moon-rivers, apply a fabric sheet layered with feathers from a galactic phoenix to tumble us dry, to soothe the static, to leave us scented with hope as we rise.

For @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk #PoemsAbout #Static
Silence (From "A World Where" 2) is forbidden. All must talk in their sleep. Learn to talk over one another and listen at the same time. Any silence means imprisonment. Babies are encouraged from birth to scream. Writing is seen as a form of silence so everything is read aloud, traffic signs, shopfronts, TV and radio are talked over the top of all the time. Songs are sung constantly. There is no two minute silence as a sign of respect for the dead. It is disrespectful not to talk at the graveside, And in church, during a sermon or any speeches. Hecklers are encouraged. Everyone has a voice that must be heard. Everyone must listen and respond immediately.

I'm enjoying working with Paul again - reading Paul's inspiring words, sharing ideas, the tactile pleasure of pencils, paper and watercolour paint, the connection, collaboration, and process are a lot of fun.

#AssemblingABook. Once the book is written there is nothing quite like discussing cover ideas with a flesh and blood artworker. It's the very real human response of imaginations bouncing off ideas.
