In another life, I live in a snug little cottage surrounded by hilly woods and raise peafowl.

🐉+🪰 Yes, the dragonfly was drawn with this very brush. 🧐🔍

Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a dragonfly, photographed with a penny and the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with. The detail is very tiny and intricate. The penny could eclipse the dragonfly entirely with room to spare.

Hen and Dragonfly. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Silhouette drawing in black ink of a hen running after a dragonfly over wild grasses. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The piece is small and intricate.

My next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful". This would make a perfect case study, but I doubt the legal team will go with it.

Lawvers for Andrew Tate have had to admit in
court that he is not a citizen of Estonia as he
previously claimed.
Much of his wealth and status is fabricated, they
said in attempt to convince the court he and his
brother are not a flight risk if released on bail
That included his claims to seven passports.
"The Tates are engaged in several businesses
teaching men how to earn money. It is in their
interest to portray themselves on social media
as uberwealthy." 1/3

“Dinosaurs to Dragons” by @shreevebooks.bsky.social is an interesting look into the possible real-world inspirations behind various mythical creatures. It’s certainly thought provoking, though I would take some of the suggestions with a grain of salt. dinodadreviews.com/2026/10/05/d...

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.

Three small silhouette drawings in black ink. The first is of a sitting fox, looking back over its shoulder at a bird on the branch of a little bare shrub. The second has a playful-looking fox, half-crouched, tail in the air, looking at a bird which has just taken off from a branch. The third shows a fox, surprised, its head drawn slightly back, as it seems to have come upon a pumpkin on the ground, surrounded by its vines. It has a face like a carved jack-o'-lantern.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of an Onagadori rooster with long flowing tail covert feathers on a plum blossom branch. The rooster's comb and wattle are the only spots of red. The piece is smaller than a postcard and is photographed with the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with.

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪

A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

'A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. “Ho!” said he, “a fine thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would his joy have been. But for me, give me a single grain of corn before all the jewels in the world.” '

When I saw the Titanosaur exhibition at NHM London with friends, @dinomaster.bsky.social suggested I drew a Pudgy Patagotitan. I had a hard time pudgifying what is already _beyond_ pudgy, and could have pushed the exaggeration much further. I merely ended up with a short-legged titanosaur.

Ink drawing of a Patagotitan with, despite earnest attempts, only slightly exaggerated proportions, seen in side view, facing and walking towards the right. It has a gently silly expression at least.
