Issue 30 of Black Spring Weekly is here — and she’s messy, moody, and full of ink.

This week, I dive into Gelli plate printing, charcoal experiments, print design woes, and finally finishing the underpainting for Temptation. There’s tarot, tunes, and a spotlight on the rebellious spirit of Japanese girl gangs — Sukeban.

The zine is completely FREE and packed with artist process notes, randomness, visual journals, works in progress, and unapologetic mess-making.

If you’re into behind-the-scenes grit, dreamy updates, and following an indie artist without the algorithm, this is for you.

Issue 33 of Black Spring Weekly unravels the threads between art, folklore, and the restless mind. Inside you’ll find studio notes on my latest paintings (Temptation, Ms. Krampus, Chamber of Pantomime), tarot insights, and experiments with skin tones and oils.

This week’s fascination explores Drake’s Drum. a vessel of myth said to protect England in times of peril. Like the ravens of the Tower, it asks: what echoes of ourselves will we leave behind?
