I'd been thinking of using the 'professional' name of Leo Joy Art For etsy, craft fairs, etc.
But I did have an etsy some years ago, I could maybe reopen but it's connected to old names and emails. Still like the name though. So Leo Joy Art or Wonky Spooks. What do you think?? #aspiringartist

With all that's been going on in my life (see my other account @leos.good.bad.wyrd ) I had completely forgotten I am going to be part of Artist Alley Worcester on the 6th December!!! Luckily, Sy, who has very kindly invited me to share their table (so has done all the hard work) reminded me today!

Suddenly having lots to do is the kick up the bum I needed! I'm not sure how much I can get done, but, at the very least, I get to spend a day with my friend :)
I had already planning to get busy because, Art For All Mental Health have been donated a week at @gardensgallery! 10th - 16th.

Today, I woke up in a foul mood. But I've done painting, seen friends and experienced a massive kindness from a stranger. Happiness restored :)

Nearly ready to print this but I'm so scared! I've never done a multi layer print before. I've bought registration clips, got cardboard to make a frame. I've been carving this on and off for months! (life and other prints) and I'm nervous to finally print on Friday! Wish me luck!
A drawing on white paper. At the top of the page ard the words Never Better. The rest of the page features drawings of pills in different shapes Two sheets of lino. One has been coloured in with pink sharpie, the other in yellow sharpie. The pink sheet has the same Never Better design as the previous photo, but backwards. The yellow one has parts of the same design The yellow sheet of lino is carved, just leaving the pill design uncarved. It has been cut around the pills The pink sheet of lino is now nearly completed carved away, just leaving the outlines of the pills and the words. The words are not completed carved out

I didn't need to come out as #bisexual to my friends as a teen; they just saw my tumblr dedicated to how much I loved Helena Bonham Carter

A black printed image on white paper. The image is of line work of two hands holding onto barbed wire. Between them is a pair of holding hands. The same print but a wider shot, showing that the paper is balanced onto of a pile of clean laundry

Earlier this year, I took part in an art exhibition as part of #transprideBirmingham. See my Instagram (@leo_joy_hg) for details if you're interested #queerart #lgbtart #transart #mixedmedia #embroidery #linostamps #linoprinting #queerhistory #lgbthistory
A photographer of me, a transgender man, with ginger hair and blue glasses, wearing a black dress, smiling. I am standing next to a mixed media artwork hanging on the wall behind Photo of the label for my art piece. It states the name of my work as Honour thy Trancestors, my name, pronouns and Instagram handle @@leo_joy_hg A closer photo of my artwork. It is a piece of pink material, hanging from a large, rustic stick. The material is embroidered with all the laws that have directly impacted lgbt people in Britain in the last 1000 years, going from top to bottom. The embroidery at the top is barely visible as the thread matches the material. The thread gets darker and more visible lower down, as we get to more modern times. The material is also printed with a range of lgbt symbols in black. They include an equals sign, gender symbols, lavender, a carabena and a pocket with a hankie coming out.

This is the pendant made by @mrsethcorbin.bsky.social and an old photo of both of us, at #transpridebrighton
A silver and black coloured, flat, metal pendant on a background colour of pink. The pendent is made to look like a bottle of testosterone A photo of two transgender men. They are both smiling. The person on the left is wearing a backwards cap, sunglasses, a chunky chain necklace and a black t-shirt. He has his arm around the other person's shoulders. The person on right is wearing glasses, has a transgender flag painted on their face and is wearing a black t-shirt with the word fussy boy on it.

January this year, I joined a printing group through a local charity Art For All Mental Health. This was the first lino stamp I made! Based on a pendant (from the lovely Seth, HardWearUK) which was based on the type of testosterone we are prescribed. Made with soft lino and oil based ink
A black printed image on a pink background. The image is of a bottle with a pump on top. The bottle has HRT and 16.2 written on it.
