Having lived in or near London for much of my adult life, and as a non-driver, I've used the London Underground. A lot. While I'm not taken by the pumped-up A/C on the Elizabeth Line and am always glad that I've travelled with an extra layer, there's more to love than hate about Tube journeys.

This is so outrageous. The Government wants to reclassify Coastguard Rescue Officers as "volunteers" so they can get out of paying them an hourly wage when they go out to save lives. Join me and sign the petition to demand the Government scrap plans to strip rescue heroes of their pay: 38d.gs/sh54

I drew the cover for the latest @newyorker.com More here: www.newyorker.com/culture/cover-story/cover-story-2026-06-29

The New Yorker dated 29 June 2026 titled ‘Landscape portrait’. The cover is almost completely filled with a large classic painting in a gold frame. It shows a landscape with hills, rocks and trees. A horse and rider stand on a rocky outcrop overlooking a plain that stretches out to the sea. In the bottom left corner of the cover, a smiling tourist takes a selfie with the painting behind him.

Today is the feast day of St Brendan the Navigator (ca.484-577), so here's a woodcut by Robert Gibbings (1889-1958), depicting a scene from the saint's life, used to illustrate Helen Waddell's 'Beasts and Saints' (1934).
Woodcut image showing a small wooden boat on the surface of the sea, with a monk and other crew in the boat, and beneath the water a large selection of fish, rays and other sea creatures

Emilie Flöge (1874-1952) was an innovative Art Nouveau Austrian fashion designer who aimed to reform dress designs for women. Though (typically) not noted widely by history, she influenced the work of her companion, the artist Klimt and featured in his work #WomensArt
Two images, a painting and a monochrome photograph of the upper half of the same woman with curly dark hair wearing a highly patterned dress,both facing left looking outwards

One last illustration for the Swords Without Masters, again @portablecity.bsky.social is such an incredible art director and assembled such a cool squad of artists for this project, it's been so fun to see everyone flesh out their ideas
illustration of a cursed tree, the tree is covered in swords hanging from bare branches, from a hole in the trunk a liquid splills onto the ground. Surrounding the tree are skulls sitting on and among stones and candles. A ritual occurs here, it seems.
