As we walked yesterday along the clifftop I saw my first bumble bees so Spring is definitely springing

Today’s Raven News: Chips didn’t come early. I was so happy after expecting not to see him in the fog, when he eventually came & sat on the fence with me! Sometimes when I am sat with him I get this tremendous sense of how lucky I am that he shares a tiny part of his life with meπŸ₯°

Why I don’t post many process videos… I like to be super up close to my art!

This is a flat lay photograph with lots of elements. The main subject is a set of colourful bunting with the theme of peace including doves, stars, crescent moons, flowers and a winged heart. On the wooden table there's also some coloured pencils, scissors, thread and some flowers.

I am like way more scared as a consumer than an artist. I don't want... slop. I want art. I want software that works. I do not want gAI to be a standard. As a consumer and enjoyer of human made work and passion. Only passion-free demons enjoy passion-free work honestly.

My job for next week is to edit out the background of this fox painting and get the print listed (the original sold a good while ago). I'll also be painting again next week and I can't wait!

A red fox sits upright looking directly at the viewer. A much smaller fox sits leaning against the first, head tilted upwards, eyes closed. They're surrounded by stems of white stitchwort and cow parsley flowers set against a teal background.

One beautiful new fox-themed card by Sam Cannon :) We released this one for Mother's Day, but I suspect most people will buy it for birthdays or just to say "hello"!

After a tip from @georginadoodles.bsky.social Im giving this platform a try as instagram drains my soul πŸ˜†πŸ˜†. I’m a north wales artist who paints predominantly on old OS maps- wildlife mostly but also landmarks, bothies, walkers and more. My inspiration comes from my time in the great outdoors.

Screenshot of a website work-in-progress, featuring some stylized illustrated imagery that fades into a tan background with text overlay. A menu bar at the top. Heading text says β€œFairytale Fantasy” and a subheading that says β€œInspired by tales passed down through generations and fables that speak to our core, these cards speak to all ages."

I’ve had my head buried in developing a new storefront/portfolio/creative home website for myself for the last four days, and I didn’t realize how blissful I had it until I came up for air to see the world is still on fire.

Time to go make more art.

Good news on the front for Fantasy and Science Fiction Narrative Art. A new museum in the works for Altoona and the genre community. Looking forward to seeing this open next year (hopefully)!

A woman wearing a patchwork dress and pointed black hat stands in front of a wood-clad house. Cats of many colours sit and lounge all around her, as well as in trees and on the roof. Another lady flies by on a broomstick with a black cat sitting on it. Snow lies on the ground and on the fence beyond.

Two women wearing long, pointed hats stand at a kitchen table studying the contents of a steaming cup, one pointing towards the contents. As the steam rises upwards it forms the shape of a leaping cat. A teapot, slice of cake, and black cat sit on the table in front of them.

Two colourful owls sit on a crooked branch together. One leans toward the other, eyes in the direction of the second owl. The second owl looks towards the first, wing outstretched to cuddle the first owl. Below them hangs a wooden sign with 'Happy Anniversary' written on it. Behind them stands a green conifer forest, with a deep pink sky and white sun above.

A woman sits cross-legged on the floor in a mediation pose. She has long green hair and is wearing a crop, decorative crop top and pink leggings. She's surrounded by a green/blue starry background, and text which reads, at the top 'Inhale the good shit', and at the bottom, 'Exhale the bullshit'.

I’ve had many people ask the last couple days if I sell my art, and where. I do sell it, I’ve been a professional artist for the last 5+ years. I sell on Etsy, and on my own Website.

The woodpecker I posted on Friday isn’t for sale as it’s for an exhibition, but there will be prints available :)

Three colourful people walk from right to left. At the front, a woman with long blond hair and wearing a long pink dress, is barefoot and beats a hand-held drum. To her left, a grey-haired woman wearing a blue top and skirt, and floral headdress, raises her hands skywards. A bearded man dressed in green and wearing decorated antlers on his head walks behind them. Flowers are scattered in the air around them, and Glastonbury Tor can be seen in the distance.

A new card for Imbolc by Glastonbury-based artist Debbie deMornay Penny, which will almost certainly bring a smile to your face if you've spent any amount of time in Glastonbury (the town, not the festival!) :)

Now is the winter of our seed-content.
Disappointing to see another grey day this morning.
I was just about to open the door when I noticed there was a large no. of Goldfinches.
They were feeding on a wide variety of seed types - Chickweed (Stellaria media), Sycamore, Winter Savoury, to name a few.

Storm Dragons, work in progress.
The place is an ancestral cairn stone circle in Wales, still on my bucket list but I have been obsessed with it through photos for years, it is where the dragons sleep.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope you were able to take a break, and that the season was a good one for you. We did take a break, although 'stopping' isn't something we're very good at so plenty got done anyway!

We still have a few 2026 calendars so we've reduced the price to tempt you :)
