Gilded print of a watercolour painting called ‘Queen of the Garden’

New painting: Queen of the Garden

I'm trying something out: I love the look of medieval gold, but I can't get that shine with a print. So I'm going to offer a hand-gilded print, and add the gold-coloured ink myself when people place an order.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Excellent!! 🐭💛

Yay! Hi, Barbara!

Sarah, riding a giraffe, painted in oils on panel, finished with egg tempera fresco and varnished in penguin fat. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.

One of the little kids at church drew my portrait, riding a giraffe in the sun. Was instructed to colour it in. 👍

It's the two year anniversary of #NewIllustrationOfTheDay. Nicolette Jones does such good work celebrating book art and artists.

I’ll be at @oxfordlitfest on Saturday 28th March, talking about Mortal Engines / Bridge of Storms with Struan Murray…

A corner of my living room. Black desk and office chair, with a monitor that has a crocheted purple skip fire on top, my purple notebook with pro-trans sticker, my laptop with a sticker of the Reykjavik cathedral that Louie got me, my Waffle (puzzle) mug. On the wall is a mouse riverboat library print by Sarah McIntyre, a card print with a drawing of her with multiple hands doing everything at her desk in bright red and blue and white and black, a card print of all the people in her old flat in London (bright and adorable), a brown card print of Shakespeare's "Though she be but little, she is fierce" quote from Midsummer Night's Dream, and a warm orangey lovely print of Laura Ellen Anderson's Amelia Fang as a grownup in her greenhouse with Squashy, tending to some plants.

My little home office corner is bringing me joy (with some of my favourite art by favourite artist @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social and that gorgeous Amelia Fang by Laura Ellen Anderson)--and yes, my Emotional Support Skip Fire that I got at Spitalfields market 😆
