You don’t have to like other people or agree with them to be curious about what life looks like for them.

Looks pretty nice, if I may say so myself.

Here’s an off-duty Pictish king, Nechtan, in the club, chatting up a hot young chick called Triduana. Despite how it looks here, she only has eyes for him.

I am open to commissions and would love to hear from you or your institution/ publication if your interests overlap with mine, or you like my general vibe! These interests are: cancer/healthcare, political discourse, and Pictish symbol stones. Which all go together perfectly.

It’s not very hip to talk about patriotism but I think we need to. I get very frustrated about how it gets hijacked by the far right for racist agendas. And then on the left we keep getting told that we need to marinate in guilt because of the sins of our colonial forefathers.

Pictish symbols have fascinated me ever since I studied them as an undergrad at Cambridge.

My dad had been living with stage 4 prostate cancer for five years. I’d really hoped he would make it to the book launch. It wasn’t to be. This is how life goes, often. Joy and heartbreak intertwined. Thank you to everyone who has bought the book, read it and shared kind words about it. 1/7

This is a brilliant book. At turns funny, heartbreaking and profound. I learned a lot from it. I recently donated my copy to a cancer care hospice charity shop.

I’m increasingly interested in our inner lives and what it means to have an inner life in the social media era. We all have emotions roiling away inside of us, whether we acknowledge them or not. 1/6

I studied early British / Scottish / Irish history during my degree. We know frustratingly little about this time period (4th-10th century) and even less when it comes to the Picts, which is one of the reasons I’m obsessed with them.

My 1st draft of this started with a reference to Godwin’s law: all online discussions inevitably end up with comparisons to Hitler / the Nazis. I thought that invoking Hitler means you automatically lose an argument, according to Godwin’s law. But after looking this up, I realised I was wrong. 1/7

Trying out some new ideas! I’ve been teaching myself how to draw Celtic knotwork using George Bain’s book. Lots of fun doing it digitally!

I think it’s possible - necessary, even - to know what you stand for, but leave the door open to being persuaded that you may not be entirely correct about everything. 1/5

It is a beautiful irony that I - always a goody two shoes when it came to drugs - ended up on some of the hardest, most extreme (legal) substances known to humanity. Overall, would recommend, because I’m still alive.
