It's a terrible advertising model. I'm a good therapist but a bad business person. Anyway, I do actually have space for a new client at the moment...

Just finished @aptshadow.bsky.social's The Doors of Eden and it's genuinely one of the most enjoyable books I've read for a while. Great stuff...

Thanks to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Open Access programme for many of the images.

This week and last week I took part in the Paris Collage Collective's weekly challenge. Last week - as soon as I posted what I had made I immediately thought it was rubbish, but later in the week I thought it was alright.

Here's the one I did for this week.

Here's the other image I put together for my last newsletter.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

I didn't have permission from everyone in the pond photo to share itonline.

I really wanted to show myself in the water…. So it forced me to be creative.

I made an image!

I have half an idea for a newsletter.... So I created the illustration and now hopefully I'll write the newsletter.

That's how it works, right?

Loved seeing all this mistletoe in Woodchester Park last weekend. I heard there is a lot more mistletoe around these days but no one really knows why....

Just finished @aptshadow.bsky.social's Alien Clay. Such a good book. Couldn't put it down.

And also both strange and heartening to read this story of dissidents to an authoritarian regime, and the amazing discovery they make, in these increasingly authoritarian times.
