check out this handsome lad! this lino print is based on a picture i took of a sanderling out on the beach (swipe to see him!!) 🐦 due to the way this lino print is made they are limited to an edition of 33 prints that cannot be replicated! if you'd like to rehome one of these sweet boys you can find them on my website ✨

it is once again time for a new zine. possibly even time for a silly one. making this zine was a joy, even if it wasted my wrists. this bad boy will be joining my other new stock at the hotchpotch xmas market next week!! i am so excited to sell you all some christmas treats before the end of the year 💕🎄 comment below if i will see you there!!

bunnies! i think this may just be my cutest print yet - it's based on a clip i saw of some bunnies huddled in a circle just like this 🐇 i had always planned for this to be a two layer print, but i pulled a couple copies without the brown layer because they also look nice. perfect if you want to add your own little guy to the crowd!

get a taste of my somatic discography with my new zine, 6 Songs To Get To Know Me 🎶 this zine was a lot of fun to write! it's a lot more text-heavy than my other zines, but not in a bad way. and this one comes on ✨coloured paper!✨ i also took this opportunity to print a couple copies of Barker's Log on cream coloured paper which looks really nice :)

hello! i have been slaving away in the art mines, and i have some new products to share with you over the next month or so! first up are these ADORABLE ladybird lino prints 🐞 these babies are reduction prints like my comma moth print, which means stock is very limited!! i had a great time carving and printing these, and i just love how they turned out. which ladybird colour is your favourite?

it's spooky month!! which means my halloween merch returns!! if you missed your chance to get your hands on these last year, don't you worry. these beauties will be available until halloween night, at which point any remaining stock will crawl back into the haunted mansion from whence it came 🎃 . . what sweets are you gunning for when you go trick-or-treating? when i was a kid i didn't like gummy sweets, so i always had my eyes peeled for those treasured full size chocolate bars 🍫

exciting news! my little zine is now being stocked at the @dottypoppycollective !! look for it on the zine shelf, or have a nosey through the rest of the shop. as a small business art collective, it has something for everyone! additionally i will be helping in the shop every now and then, so come say hi! for those of you familiar with Affleck's, it's on the 2nd floor by the stairwell where Frank lives. . as someone who grew up in Manchester, Affleck's Palace was a formative part of my youth. to be able to sell my work in there in any capacity is an absolute honour! so you will all have to tolerate the terrible selfie i took in there 😀

the zines are finally here!! 🎉 i suppose it will be nice to move on to new projects, but this has been such a fun ride from start to finish. get your physical copy while you can, or check out the digital copies on my ko-fi!
