Humpday Update The Sixth

Posted 6 November 20240 comments

Please accept these fine images from a beautiful Dartmoor churchyard opposite out favourite pub The Highwayman Inn which is a folk-art stunner.

We managed to get a trip to Dingles Fairground Museum in before it closed! Which we are so sad about, they have some excellent photos on their website.

Over my cuppa this morning I've enjoyed this font geekery

and this article on vengeful crows.

Artworks on wood

I gave the kids free reign of all the offcuts of wood in the garage for painting in and the results were so lovely, they're propped up all around the house.

Humpday Update, the fifth.

It was lovely to head to the Garden Folk harvest festival - I got my morris dancing fix, met the Rosanna whose work I've always admired from afar and at the last minute remembered to snap a picture of my poster in action.

In other, very important, vital, groundbreaking news: I bought an oversize scrunchy. Here is a round-up of enormous scrunchies. How big is too big?

This article made me cry.

And I've been drooling over these again, which I do from time to time, one day I will buy.

A little stack of furniture

Posted 29 October 20240 comments

This Little Furniture Stack collage is now available as a print!

When I came to photograph it it sat perfectly in my house, stacks of things and domesticity everywhere.

Here it is on top of the piano with all the books and a piece of charmingly painted bark.

And in the studio with all the detritus including some of my sons influence - a bean bag and at the right a game that involves a target and pins

You can buy the print, framed or unframed, in the shop now.

Humdpay Update, the fourth.

A little update today featuring a picture of some tiny wax chairs I made.

I love my brother's radio show, I am biased but it is also objectively great.

I wanted to tell you that if I'm feeling stressed sometimes I do karaoke. I really can't recommend it highly enough. This one is my current favourite.

Having just escaped the clutches of social media I'm a bit scared of substack but I like this one that my friend Ellen does.

I watched the Die Antwoord documentary - it's one of those ones that I can't stop thinking about.

And now I listen to Die Antwoord in the studio as well as Sabrina Carpenter.

It's good to have range.
