An incredibly rare foray into non-caricature portraiture for me... My painting of Mauatua, wife of Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian. She was the tough matriarch of Pitcairn Island who held the community together after the bloodshed of 1793, which likely claimed Christian's life. #art
Painting of a Tahitian woman with a flower in her hair, a blue-glass necklace around her neck, and Polynesian tattoos on her hands and arms. In the background is a volcanic rock formation.

I seem to be reaching fewer and fewer people on social media thanks to AI slop and algorithms, so I did the one thing I dread more than a deadline: got on camera. My new book SLEUTH-HOUND is up for pre-order now. It would mean the world if you grabbed a copy👇 Preorder: linktr.ee/drlindseyfitzharris

My next book (October 20) is on the Victorian medical detective Joseph Bell. SLEUTH-HOUND is a whirlwind tour of Victorian forensics from the perspective of the man who loaned a voice and razor-sharp logic to Baker St.’s famous resident: Sherlock Holmes. /1

Absolute perfection. #Reform
Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day
and he thinks Farage is the right man to
sort Britain out. He says he reminds him
of one of the commanders he fought
alongside with distinction. In the next
few weeks he's going to auction off his
medals and donate all the money to
Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?
