Oh no! That's a shame. But of course you should do what's right for you. It always seemed like a phenomenal amount of work all round ❤️

Aw, that's fair enough (it was the mug that caught my eye, and tote, so I suspected that might be the case!)

I'll just have to bring a good size shopping bag when I next make it to Edinburgh 😊

Love some of these non-book things - do you sell them online too or just in person? (Tried to have a search on your website)

Ahh, delighted that people are bidding on my prints.

As your typical "am I even good enough to be here?" artist it's very encouraging 😊

Up to 44 auctions bidded on！

Thank you so much, still lots of original artwork awaiting bids and a signed book with mention of a mari lwyd available!!

The Mari Lwyd #folklore charity auction is live!

Check it out for all kinds of lovely pieces that'd make very original gifts, and you'll be contributing to fantastic causes too.

I have a couple of #linoprint pieces in it designed especially for this year's auction 🎄🎁💀

I have a couple of prints up in the annual #MariLwyd auction for a very good cause. Check out all the other fantastic pieces of art at the link below!

Yay, glad they arrived ok!

Harvey, thrilled and excited at his new portrait...

(Well, perhaps not, but he's definitely helping me have a gentle cozy day by example)

A day off at last, and of course I have the beginnings of a sore throat 😅

That means I don't feel too bad about taking it easy and doing some art today.

So I finally did *something* with Harvey's shadow and tidied up the edges of this print

Ok, thank you. Will have a ponder :)

Do the artists post them straight to the bidder, or do we send them to you first?

(Basically wondering if I could do a paper mache mask, or if a folklore print would just be easier all round postage wise)

Is it specifically just postcard art (guessing from the Google form)?

Pimsleur's the only thing that works for me too (and I can often get it in CD form from the library here, otherwise couldn't afford it).

Paul Noble is a similar method with a bit more explaining of the whys, which I like. And that's on Spotify.

Peaceful protest for #TransRights in #Ipswich on the 17th.

Protest sign making beforehand, picnic after!

@whatthetrans.com one for the list

Be a volunteer in a security company against crime and staying at home with all the industrial cooking machines. Against industrial drugs and organic cannibis drugs in the people's communities. Against loud outdoor speaker systems high pitched cause irritations confusions and loss of private lies... etc

Probably the same guy who handed this job advert in to us at the bookshop and explained it at length...

He was so calm and considered-sounding that it was only about a minute in to the explanation that I realised nothing he was saying made any sense whatsoever.

Oh no, there are big rant boxes to fill in! This is going to take a while!

*Cracks knuckles*

Aaah, I love this! Very cute bugs🪲

Just a reminder that the deadline for responding to the govt's AI consultation is the 25th.

If you care about writers, artists, and musicians, or have an opinion about how AI companies are wanting to ride roughshod over people's livelihoods, do find a moment to fill it in.

And he knows it!

Ah, that reminds me to give them a listen, thank you!

Ooh, what a great idea!
I'm terrible at keeping up with weekly prompts but it's nice to have a challenge every so often!

Gosh, that's wonderfully detailed and beautiful!

Oh that's really nice, love the wild lines

A red lino roller pauses over a part-inked linocut of a tuxedo cat with bat wings.

I tried the cream softcut lino for the first time for this cat print.

Interesting to work with! I like the bite of a tougher lino, but I'll definitely try this stuff again in future.

Aw boo, hope you get one!

My wallet would appreciate it if I wasn't always tempted by the pretty special edition books, but... I am 😅

Ooh, FolkEast is here! ❤️

Two linoprint prints of a tuxedo cat sitting bright eyed, with a vampire-toothed smile and two black bat wings emerging from his shoulders. A little black heart hovers over his head.

First couple of test pulls of my #cat / little monster lino print. Haven't decided what to do with the base/shadow yet.

Oh no- the offer isn't on signed/special editions, was it that one? I'd have thought it'd work on the normal ed.

Also they say they only take payment at the point of dispatch, not at the time of ordering, in the FAQs if that helps..
