Artists, I am *begging* you to repost your art. I have lost track of the artists I have forgotten I followed until sone random comment crosses my feed, and then I go and look and see yup, they have been putting up work, but at the wrong time of day for me to catch it.

Just watching Chamomile T in The Park. Fun fact. Waterfront, by Simple Minds, was written about the time Jim Kerr tried to use the photocopier in Sale library, but it was out of order, and he was told to try the theatre next door.

🌱 hey plant community, I'm somewhat at a loss as what to do with this bird of paradise. It's in a pot on my deck and has grown too large for the space. I either didn't notice I'd bought a giant variety, or thought it wouldn't get so big in a pot

Moved a year and a half ago. Found my metal metre ruler today. Removal men were smart to do this so it didn’t get bent. They might have told me though.

Friends… please can you share? I’m starting to put some art up for sale to pay for my louche year of painting (and grieving, let’s face it cos that’s what’s at the root of all this, I think) - and would love to find some nice homes for my art #artforsale #starvingartist #watercolour #bsnm #nature
