My home county. #WilliamBlake #Durham #BlakeFriday
Zoom turned out to be good for us once we found our feet. We've never quite had an event like this since though. Time for Blakety Blake to return? 😬
#WilliamBlake #BlakeOff #BlakeFriday
Almost forgot about my most successful 'collaboration' with #WilliamBlake. This was the intro to a Blake quiz on zoom in 2020, when we were trying to figure out how to keep the @blakesociety.bsky.social going during Covid.

And yet more Blake-inspired artwork on his birthday (and #nationalillustrationday as it happens). I made these all for VALA, the journal of @blakesociety.bsky.social blakesociety.org/vala/ #williamblake #BlakeFriday
More artwork inspired by #WilliamBlake. Collaborations with my then 2-year old daughter from 2020. #BlakeOff #BlakeFriday
More Blake stuff for #WilliamBlake 's birthday. From 2007-2009 I did a weekly cartoon for Time Out London called William Blake, Taxi Driver, in which Blake was reincarnated as a visionary London cabbie. The full-page one was to celebrate his 250th birthday in 2007! #Blakeoff #Blakefriday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WILLIAM BLAKE

A couple of favourite images for Blake’s birthday! ‘The Sun at His Eastern Gate’ and ‘When the Morning Stars Sang Together’, discussed in my, ‘The Book of Angels: Seen and Unseen’ (Camb. Scholars Pub., 2019, reissued in paperback 2024).

I was there at the unveiling of Lida Cardoza’s gravestone for Blake at Bunhill Fields in 2018 & took this shot:
I GIVE you the end of a golden string;
Only wind it into a ball,
It will lead you in at Heaven’s gate,
Built in Jerusalem’s wall…

William Blake, ""The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with Sun", c. 1805. A dragon with a human torso and long, coiled tail descends towards an angelic woman posed defiantly against him. On either side of the figures streaks of lightning are visible.
In an anti-consumerist spirit, I like to think of today as #BlakeFriday ... a chance to share art and symbolism rather than marketing. The only rule is to post #WilliamBlake images today. Feel free to join ... #art #blake
