RIP David Lynch, an absolute genius and huge inspiration to me.
Twin Peaks is probably still my favourite of his creations, here's a print a created a while back with Jealous Print Studio. #DavidLynch

It's officially the start of Spring, but I've been noticing a lot of parading and pairing up on the Thames for a while now. The mallards are looking particularly handsome. #SpringEquinox #LifeOnTheThames

Moved out of my studio this week but in the process re-disovered some hidden gems that I didn't just want to wrap up & put away again.
Lots of affordable original drawings appearing on my Etsy page now. https://t.co/PXAzddOC1C
