I decided to do a month-long online artists residency. It went as well as could be expected – here are my thoughts on the final day! ‘Working-class, Artist, Mother’ – Feels quite impossible.‘Artist’ is a hard thing to do anyway, I won’t elaborate on that.

MotherOther Artist Talk
I was asked (I volunteered) to give a talk at the most recent Mother Other artist networking event – held in Middlesbrough.

I wrote a talk called: ‘How to be Creative between the HoursContinue reading “MotherOther Artist Talk”

I like that they’re not advertisements at all, but fakes, with elements of the surreal and absurdContinue reading “‘Advertisements’”

Humans doing stuff online
Back on my ‘Draw me nsfw’ Illustrations – some of them aren’t really that NSFW (digital illustration) I mentioned in a previous post about people posting themselves online to be drawn, or to just share themselves. Why are they doing it and why am I looking? Exhibitionism and voyeurism obviously. But a lot of themContinue reading “Humans doing stuff online”
