Want to see a bit of how I do digital #lithic illustration? I've started a new series over on Instagram:

I've been thinking about what pride month means in terms of research and #trans -ness, and sometimes it's stumbling across a photo from last year's fieldwork and going "ohh, that's me"

1/2

Finally got round to finishing this drawing of a 300,000 year old #handaxe from Stoke Newington, London, found by S.H. Warren in 1894. Now this little-un, along with others from Stoke Newington that I've drawn, lives at the British Museum

Not usually my style, but I made a very little #comic last night about feeling rubbish followed by a little moment of reflection and hope

Scruffy lil (slightly bashed) pointy handaxe, probably made on the spot as it was needed. Perhaps even to help butcher a horse or elephant for someone's dinner c.300,000 years ago.

This handaxe lives in the British Museum collections, and was found in Stoke Newington, London, in the late 1800s.

Little work in progress of a lovely Lower Palaeolithic (c.300,000 years old) #handaxe from Stoke Newington, London.

More delightful flint fingerprints, c.300,000 years old.

One of my favourite things about digitally illustrating #handaxes is removing the flake scar outlines and looking at all the little flint fingerprints left behind.
