I’m walking backwards for Christmas. My #DYCP @artscouncilengland.bsky.social #wordlessbook project. The work explores my mobility journey as a person with a disability, alongside my exploration of the human form as storyteller and mode of artistic expression. @fargovillage.bsky.social #comics
Character designs for the ‘I’m Walking Backwards for Christmas’ project: Skullrunner. (in the style of old Fleischer Brothers cartoons) from my childhood dreams. Mono print from line art. Funded by @artscouncilengland.bsky.social #DYCP Grant.
If you're applying for arts funding, The White Pube also has a really useful library of successful funding applications: thewhitepube.co.uk/funding-libr... I used this when applying for Arts Council #DYCP funding and found looking at some examples very helpful when drafting.
Let’s recap which new Comics and Graphic Novels I’ll be working on in 2026 ✏️💬
Yes, it's a lot, and I also have other graphic design and illustration jobs, and a baby to take care of, so bear with me 😅

Spey Source Field Trip Day 2: B&B in Newtonmore’s hand wash is whiskey & honey. I don’t drink anymore but sitting at breakfast smelling like I did all night. #fieldtrip #river #riverwriting #nature #naturewriting #place #placewriting #spey #don #poetry #longpoem #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice
Thankfully, I have something to distract me from waiting for my @artscouncilengland.bsky.social Developing Your Creative Practice decision (already made, locked behind creaky Grantium). See my next post! #grantium #DYCP #artscouncil
Anyone else still not able to access the grantarium for DYCP outcome. I received an email late this afternoon saying still working to fix problem, which will hopefully be early next week....

Just managed to get on to #ACE live chat. #DYCP applicants will be notified first BUT apparently ACE staff are still trying to figure out how to do this because they have always relied on #Grantium. (It's not rocket science, people, it's admin!) Might be next week now 😭
For those waiting to see their #dycp #ace results on the piece of shit server #grantium - “decision letter” means you didn’t get it, “offer letter acknowledgment” means you did. I’m sorry/you’re welcome.
Also delighted to discover this study on river ‘rhythmicity’ besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #hydrology #water #river #riverwriting #placewriting #naturewriting #poetry #whatistherhythmofariver #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice
Did I just get so excited testing a hydrophone in the sink I nearly let it flow over? Will I go stick it in the frog bucket now? #hydrology #water #river #riverwriting #placewriting #naturewriting #poetry #whatisthethythmofariver #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice
Curved stone wall of a dam built in segments, with a green metal sloping wall in long sections going down to dark blue water with white wind and wave lines on it, white clouds low down and blue sky. It looks still and windilly dynamic at once.
Winscar Reservoir. Next ‘step’ up into the watershed source of the Don. What is the rhythm of a place? How can we write it/with/thro it? #river #riverwriting #naturewriting #placewriting #poetry #fieldtrip #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dowhatyoucan #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don
Brownish orange river water in a small stream falling over a step about two feet wide in a cascade of whitish spills.
Totally treacle source of the Don (well, where it’s first named on the map). Is it possible to write about this without comparison? Without imposing? #river #riverwriting #fieldtrip #poetry #naturewriting #placewriting #phenomenology #dowhatyouvalue #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #donriver #don
10 secs of 2 views of ‘the’ source of The Don. Or is it 3? #riverwriting #longpoems #dislocatingtheieye #water #watersheds #hydrology #phenomenology #dycp #developyourcurrentpractice #fieldtrip
