@govanstones.bsky.social I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to see the stones. I had a wonderful and very informative tour. Thanks to Elizabeth, for going above and beyond. The merchandise is amazing and varied. That’s a big tick on my bucket list. I hope I get a return visit.

A return visit to York Art Gallery to see "Making Waves" again and to hear my friend @helenacoxcurator.bsky.social @artatyork.bsky.social give a talk about japonisme and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. It was a fantastic talk, so informative and interesting.🩷🏯🌸

Just wanted to let everyone know about this terrible situation involving art theft so people don't unknowingly buy from this site. You can support Matthew directly via his shop here: yokai.com/shop/ or Patreon here: patreon.com/theyokaiguy, and maybe re-share this to help spread the word. Thanks.
