I just feel the need to bring it up anytime someone mentions potato.

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Agreed! You ever had boxty? An Irish potato pancake from County Leitrim using mashed and grated potatoes mixed with flour. A personal favourite of mine and I don’t understand why it’s not available everywhere. Give it a go with your breakfast one day, it’s great and pretty easy to make.

Finally messing around with a @spoke-board.bsky.social I had the pleasure of designing the packaging for it. It’s a capacitive touch midi controller (you can program it to do other stuff too!) You can turn any conductive material into a keyboard! In the video I’m using a blackcurrant bush.

It was a skate shop in Sheffield, although that sticker is based on the EPMD logo, hip hop group. I worked in there a couple of times. My brother worked there for years. Don’t need the sticker though.

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Fungal Fortune-tellers mugs! Gaze into the crystal Puffball and get answers to mycelial mysteries… Where’s the best spot for Penny Buns? Can I eat this thing? Have I just poisoned myself?! Available at Nan Moors Festive market on Sat 15th then I’ll put them on my Big Cartel shop the following week.

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Printing some sleeves for a new CD album I’ve been working on about the edible fungi I’ve foraged around West Yorkshire over the years. First bit of lino printing I’ve done in a long while, it’s proving pretty challenging with my chronic hip pain. No I won’t tell you my spots!

040

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Remember when I did that CD sleeve for Roedelius (Cluster) and Christopher Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin’s son)? Because I’d completely forgotten about it…

Poster design for the excellent Lightning Bolt and Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders @lidders.bsky.social in Philadelphia, sadly a bit far for me to go! Went for a sort of mutant, cybernetic bear thing…. #gigposter

We've done Som Tam (Thai papaya salad) with swede instead of papaya before and it's good. Might work with turnip too? I often use Kohlrabi in a slaw too.

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I had a team look at my situation after my first leg op wasn’t successful. They were just trying to figure out next step for me. It just resulted in me being referred to a different consultant with more experience with the surgery they think I need. I didn’t actually meet them all myself.

There’s a Government consultation regarding the appalling welfare reforms for disabled people. PIP has been a lifeline for me whilst I’ve been struggling with my hip disability and endlessly wait for NHS treatment, there are many people that rely on it even more than me. Tell them what you think!

gov.uk

Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper

This consultation seeks views on the approaches government should consider around reform of the health and disability benefits system and employment support.

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Got a bit of a quiet spell at the moment if anyone’s in need of artwork, record sleeves, t-shirts, a drawing of your dog, etc etc. I’ve done stuff for Richard Dawson, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Pelt, Elkhorn, Pretty Lightning, MV&EE, Wooden Wand and many others. Might be more affordable than you expect!

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Go see him play though, he's great!

Happy birthday Rooster! (From Dana and Peach too!)

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

NHS waiting list question. If you have a surgery and it doesn't fix the problem and then you're referred for a second surgery (same consultant) do you go back to the start of the waiting list or go from where you left off? I was never actually at the front of the queue as I got a cancellation.

000

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

It's literally two minutes walk from my house so if I take enough painkillers it should be fine as long as I don't end up having surgery before then, but that's unlikely.

110

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Jeffrey Alexander and the Heavy Lidders in Tod! You may have seen my artwork for them and for Elkhorn (who are in the band). Also Dead Sea Apes are always good!

040

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Really hoping I can make it along to this if my stupid leg will let me!

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Also having plants like Press On Vinyl that do short runs and are Indie only is very helpful, keeps the turnaround times pretty quick.

110

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

There are a bunch of indies that work together to co-release stuff and give it wider distribution- Cardinal Fuzz, Feeding Tube, Centripetal Force, Radio Khiyaban, Eiderdown, Ramble Records etc etc… Obviously IOSS, GPSR, Tariffs are complicating matters. I know that’s not exactly what you meant…

210

Jake Blanchard @jakeblanchard.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

It's Bandcamp Friday again, no better time to grab a copy of my album Fermentation on vinyl or Cdr! A couple of older things still available too. jakeblanchard.bandcamp.com/music A few copies of the Bulbils (Richard Dawson & Sally Pilkington) 4xCDr set over at Tor Press too- torpress.bandcamp.com
