Brilliant - thanks so much x

@cvcev.bsky.social Hello all! I hope you'll share Adam's closing statement thread here on bluesky as I'd like to tag my MP in it (I did so on X but think she's no longer using that) :)

I updated my portfolio with some recent illustration work: lizzydoe.co.uk

I have availability this spring/summer to take on new art & design clients so please get in touch if you'd like to discuss working together!

COVID Is 'Still a Pandemic,' WHO Leader Says The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing, according to one of the World Health Organization’s leading infectious disease experts

It's stunning that the technical leader of the World Health Organization's COVID-19 response, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, publically reaffirmed that COVID-19 is still a global health threat and still a pandemic, yet hardly any media outlet has covered this except for this one.

The next week will see the second-highest COVID levels of the pandemic so far. If you are sick, please stay home if you can. If you have to go into work, please wear an N95 mask to protect others. If you are an employer or political leader, please increase paid sick days.

To round up a busy and interesting creative year, I've written a blog post with some of the illustration and design projects I was lucky enough to work on in 2023 🙂

Here is is!

Earlier this year I got the opportunity to illustrate for EU horizon 2020 funded project "EU ARENAS", & it was brilliant!!! Thank you so much to People's Voice Media for hiring me and working together on the project.

I occasionally photograph sketches using a good DSLR - it can be hard to get the exact right angle but it's possible, and in good (soft) light too, it can work :)

Hello! I'm a freelance illustrator from Cambridge, UK. My work includes cover art, mixed media illustrations and design of materials for musicians, creative businesses and charities. I'd love to take on more projects on ecology, heritage and social justice themes 😊🌼 Portfolio: www.lizzydoe.co.uk

Haha I also had a similar experience this year! High bar! 🙂

Hey illustrators and designers, I’m looking to refresh my list of go-to hand lettering artists. If you’re interested in the idea of hand lettering the title of a children’s book, reply here with relevant samples. Please no emails or direct messages on other platforms. 💙❤️

It's me! Brilliant x

Strangely, I don't seem to have a notification...and still can't DM. Perhaps you got someone else? I'm @lizzydoe 🙂

I have one I'd be happy to give you, but can't seem to DM you on there... (my username is the same)

Friendly reminder that wearing a mask is still solidarity with disabled people and the working class.

Thank you! That's kind. Wow, 17 years - how lucky 🙂 I hope you have a great day.

@benbarclay.bsky.social Btw hi/hola - I found you randomly on twitter a while back as you're posting on some of my specific areas of interest - Granada (!), ecology/climate, and also being covid aware. So hi. Dreaming of moving to Granada one day if we find a way. Best wishes from Cambridge 🙂

Ugh... really worrying - in many ways!

Mighty trees Soundscapes from beneath single amazing tree.

In praise of the mighty trees we love. Here's a selection of our episodes from underneath special trees. Listen to the sound of the space that they share.

#MasksInHealthcare " Last week I had a very 'overdue' blood test due to staff shortages. Nurse tells me that the most of the staff had been off work with Covid. She tells me how very unwell some had been this time around. She suddenly got slightly tearful & quickly apologised, explaining that she's recently lost a friend to Covid. All whilst literally leaning close to me to take the blood sample, in a very tiny room with zero ventilation, no HEPA etc. and without a mask...8 Clinically Vulnerable Families logo

Perhaps you still do?

This quote is from a Clinically Vulnerable Families member:

I'm literally so sad about it - never got to see it in person - I can't believe this is happened!

Worth a try!! Let me know if you discover any more! 😅 🌞

Oh and...don't forget, there will be some sunny days, even in winter 🙂

Maybe you have already, but try changing your lightbulbs to either daylight or warm, depending on what makes you feel better! Also - I just try to get outdoors as much as pos....& try to do "autumnal" things to embrace the changes a little. Solidarity from me x
