My mug and tea towel designed for Tate are now available for sale in their web shop!

Here's the mug, here's the tea towel.

It feels pretty flipping great to have my name on the Tate website, what a buzz!

See documentation of the snooping here, what a privilege to have a nose in such a gorgeous studio

And here's a picture of me designing the final piece in the studio, entirely accurate apart from the fact that I brushed my hair, got dressed and wiped the toothpaste off my face for the camera

A little while back I sat down and made some sad textures because I was feeling . . . well . . . sad.

I thought it would be nice to stay sad, to feel my way into it and do some miserable painting but inevitably splashing swoosh paint around was pretty lifting.

I enjoy the outcomes, I think they'll work great in some images of fungi I'm making.

I was genuinely upset today to read this article about how my favourite shape of jean is not cool.

Ankle exposing, slightly tapered jeans are my life blood, they soothe my poor traumatised inner teen - who did her best teening through the all that naughties body image bullshit.

You couldn't buy non-stretch jeans for a long time. I cried in the Levis store

They evoke all the best retro for me - I feel kind of like a land girl or Baby from Dirty Dancing or an old woman who is riding a bike with a big basket to the market in a French coastal town.

And I shall continue to wear them until I am very old.

So help me god.

To hell with the fashion police.

Next they'll be telling me my Dali mask is not cool and seductive.
