Another monochrome pan pastel portrait- of Nick Cave this time. He was harder to draw than his band-mate (no helpful beard to hide mistakes!) #nickcave #badseeds #badseedteevee #redrighthand #peakyblinders #art #artforsale #portraitartist #artist #artistsontwitter #panpastel

Pastel drawing of Warren Ellis. Practising my portraits. This one was done, applying pan pastels with a sponge- it really stopped me from overworking it #warrenellis #badseed #badseedteevee #themercyseat #monochrome #art #artistontwittter #portraitart #panpastel #pasteldrawing

Just got hit by an unexpected tax bill from years ago, at a time when I'm already really struggling financially. I'll be blunt: please someone hire me for #copywriting, #contentwriting, or any other type of writing so I can make rent and bills this month.

Enjoyed drawing Sidney Poitier so much, I thought I’d do another one! #SidneyPoitier #SidneyPoitierRIP #artistsontwitter #portraitart #pasteldrawing #charcoaldrawing

I just signed the petition calling on @BorisJohnson to guarantee lateral flow tests remain freely available. Will you add your name? https://t.co/hRe8dZ6N00

new year dawning
snowdrops and crocuses
waxing crescent moon
beaming hopefulness
