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...

"Please sir, can I have some more?"
A bisxhon frisee/shitzu mix who has recently been groomed with a very short hair cut, sits and looks up at the camera with puppy dog eyes.

Seeing this sign at the end of the trail you've just walked out of....
A yellow sign, with the words Stop, Danger of Death, below a red warning circle with a hand outstretched inside the circle, with a red line through the circle.

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...

This week's collage for the Paris Collage Collective weekly challenge.

It's a full moon tomorrow and Sunday!

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

#collage #digitalcollage #fullmoon
A digital collage. In the background five stripes of different images on crumpled paper: an oil painting of the sea, a close up of painted daffodils, a music score, an atlas, and a Japanese city from the turn of the last century. In the foreground. On the left the full moon, with a Satyr playing a horn pasted in front. On the right - a collage from the 1800s of a man playing the flute.

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.
A collage. In the foreground on the bottom left, pink pansies, on the bottom right purple and white pansies. The background is a page from a comic with the image of a block-of flats. Two windows are lit. On the right hand side a cut-out profile photo of Georgia O'keefe. Above her - four strips of vintage photos of desert.

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....

Hands off my head! Collage I made at the weekend .

#art #collage
A collage. A blue background with a white mount. From behind the mount on the left side a man - with a stoats head for a head. Coming in from the right side, a deer with a man's head. Text cut from a magazine in the middle reads 'hands off my head'

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.
