#70Up may be ITV's greatest ever achievement, just for its sheer longevity and commitment. Regular but occasional. And unlikely to ever happen again on television. #ThisHasBeenAGlimpse #OfBritainsFuture

It’s not easy where I work. Sometimes the job is like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down again. Honest conversations help. Some of my colleagues have empathy in their bones.

Honestly, the ‘Up’ series is some of the most important TV ever made. Michael Apted really asked some punchy questions. Knowing that 70 Up is the last to be made makes it all the more poignant.

Last year, for Mineral Cup 2025, I ink-sketched all the minerals in a handmade sketchbook as an exercise to learn more about minerals. This was the result: #mincup #mincup25 #mincup26 #minerals #sketchbook #sciart
a collage of 16 photos os my minerals sketchbook, each photo a double page spread with two different minerals inked, the ones who participated in the 2025 mineral cup.

So for #hARToween26 I thought I'd open up the prompts to contributions. Ideally a prompt should be: -spooky -one or two words, 3 maximum -specific while also being vague enough to inspire varied interpretations/creativity Examples: Creepy Cabin, Ghost Bride, Movie Monster, etc Reply w yours 👻 ⬇️

hey if you’re disabled or chronically ill & have a hard time standing i want you to know that it’s ok to sit down when able bodied people wouldn’t or aren’t. not just in the context of using a wheelchair but just like. whenever. pull up a stool in front of the stove when you make mac & cheese. kneel on a chair in front of the sink when you’re washing the dishes. going outside to smoke/wait for a cab/whatever? pop a squat on the sidewalk/curb/

I can see the best of humanity in hospitals. It’s the partner/friend/child clinging tenaciously to the person in the bed. It’s the ‘we have a plan and we’ll work through it together’. It’s the look of love on faces. I know I don’t have that. I’m not embittered. Sometimes it’s just hard.

Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count. He was a vampire but that doesn’t explain the real estate or affluent area. Yes, most vampires seem to come from aristocratic backgrounds but not every vampire can afford a castle. Where are the working class vampires?

Two extremely different pieces of #art you’ve made
Black and white illustration, title: The Glorious Rot. Very fine ink work and hatching. A pale long-limbed humanoid sits on a stone block surface. They have four arms, with one wholly consumed by the cascading web of roots growing out of their body. Their feet are consumed by more roots across the bottom part of the canvas. Their face is just two large voids weeping black rivulets. An expanding splash of a flat mass covered in cellular-like holes grows out of one of the face-voids. A dog-like creature with a canine skull and long mane lies poised below the figure, with roots growing into and out of it. A creature of pulled flesh and hair stands behind and to the right of the figure. This creature has two horse heads grotesquely melded together with a mass of numerous eyes between them. Their hair flows straight upwards into the sky in antler-like patterns. The figure's two right arms are raised, and black viscous fluid flows over them and from the hands, to pour into a wide bowl on a pedestal, both formed of roots. Partially encased in the pedestal is a medieval helmet with face plate covered in rows of holes. The black fluid is leaking through the bowl and onto and through the helmet.digital color illustration, title at bottom: Furbicorn. A lavender-colored Shetland pony is rearing up. Instead of a horse head, they have a Furby face with mouth open, looking up to the sky. They have a stout unicorn horn. Their mane and tail are blue, and their horn is neon green at the base fading to neon yellow at the tip. Small neon yellow stars sparkle around their upper body and head.
