A little look at something I’m currently working on

#Drawing #Art #Feathers

The wood anemone illustration in a light wood frame on a wall in a room with a chair, a small side table and a plant.

A kraft brown notebook with the wood anemone illustration on the front cover. The notebook is on a table with a plant, a mug of tea, and a pen.

A black hoodie with the wood anemones on the front hanging from a copper rail with brown paper in the background

A white mug on a coffee table with the wood anemones design around the mug

A few more wood anemone pieces from the shop 🍃

A black T-shirt with a wood anemone illustration on the front hanging in a tree.

Beautiful wood anemones are starting to appear so I’m looking forward to seeing lots of these very soon.

They spread slowly and are a good indicator of ancient woodland.

There are also some in my little shop

The crooked spire of St Mary And All Saints Church, Chesterfield: a regular, formative sight in my childhood which probably a certain way towards explaining why I am the way I am.

Lots of varying folkloric explanations exist for the crooked spire on this church in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. My favourite is that the Devil had a new horseshoe fitted to his hoof by a clumsy blacksmith who put a nail into his skin, causing him to leap up in pain and knock the spire out of place.

Another common canalside lichen here on Hawthorn and Blackthorn twigs in the towpath hedges is Xanthoria parietina (Sunburst Lichen). Also note the small grey Physcia with hairy cilia (probably adscendens). These like the nutrient rich agricultural fields here sprayed with ammonia rich cow slurry

The most folk horror of holidays continues with Black Shuck’s paw marks on the door of Blytheburgh church

Hello—here’s the official trailer for UNDERLAND, based on my book of the same name, dir. by Rob Petit, with a haunting, glittering score by @hannahpeel.bsky.social, & the ‘Storyteller’ voiced by Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest). Hope you like it.

A purple grape hyacinth.

A small clump of moss on stone.

Lichen on cherry tree bark.

Good morning.

A yellow sign with black writing which reads Herefordshire rural watch with a pictogram of a black scarecrow with yellow eyes and a crow on its hat. The sign is on a wooden fence with a churchyard and blue sky just visible behind it

Herefordshire rural watch is folk horror

Spring is sprung here and my beloved cherry plum blossoms are in full bloom.

Oh thank you so much! I’m glad you’re happy with them ☺️

Thank you to the lovely people who have shared this and who have bought something, I appreciate it very much!

Good morning.

The Butterbur are flowering along the canal now. Like the early Celandine and Primrose flowers they are a great source of nectar for bees when flowers are still scarce early in Spring. They flower before the huge leaves appear with their felt like upper surface.

Just sharing this again as this is currently the only social media I have (for now).

It isn’t easy getting anything noticed at the moment and it’s a colourful, spring-like little break from all of the bad news out there.

So if you’re feeling generous then please share the original post? 💚

Slowly getting things in place so that I can spend more time on art than admin as for a while now I feel more like an administrator who does art when I can squeeze it in.

It’s quite nice to be able to look at life and figure out, within certain constraints, how I’d like to live it.

Four small white and yellow daisies growing among the long, green grass. There is another slightly pink budding plant next to them to the left.

Little signs of Spring.

Scarecrows.

For decades he has been photographing the scarecrows in fields around his native Leeds.

A good and happy #thicktrunktuesday all🌳

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

I have a shop tamzincavendish.co.uk

And there is more than just lovely, cheery daffodils there.
