also have a sketch from Dunbar which I did at the weekend but - say it with me - forgot to post

you may think this looks precarious but my biggest mistake was not making it look precarious enough

Spent a bunch of time at the Bowes Museum today, sketching both in my own sketchpad and on the easels they obligingly have around the painting galleries.

don't have an artist or name for this bust. call him moustache man.

Portrait of a Young Girl, 1806, Louise Marie-Jeanne Hersent-Mauduit

Harry George Vane, 4th Duke of Cleveland, George Watts (1817-1904 - no date given for the painting itself)

The Tears of Saint Peter, 1580-1589, El Greco

(I always forget just how exaggerated and stylised El Greco's paintings are - they look fairly realistic at first glance and then the closer you look the more cartoonish they are. I love them. truly one of my favourite artists of all time actually.)

and I knocked this one out in 10 minutes because it was coming up to closing time, so I didn't get any details or photos of the original marble.

I do not want to die, but to have been dead for some undeterminable length of time; Until the bones have gone to compost in the earth and there is no-one to bring flowers and no fond memories left to dwell upon; Until all the grief and guilt and sorrow all the love and loss and longing have been subsumed into the same empty history; Until some historian meandering through old records, until some walker strolling through a cemetery sees my faceless name, and pauses for a moment thinking: I wonder who they were and wanders on.

be honest, would you buy this postcard?

#john muir #pencil sketch #drawing #portraits #typography #I'm absolutely for real about this btw the idea of designing postcards for the museum was pitched to me over the weekend

anyway I've been going for walks a lot, here's a selection of photos from the past four days

John Muir is getting progressively older and closer. you cannot escape John Muir. he is coming.

(got bored working the desk at the John Muir museum so I sketched the photos of him that were on the books in the gift shop)

#sketches #John Muir #physical art #pen sketch #they are of highly varying quality but in my defence most of the photos were on the spines of books and like two inches high tops #there's a reason the best sketch is the photo that's on a big-ass screen behind the desk

At this point it's becoming a Thing that I will make anything with nettles except nettle soup

here's my nettle risotto, nettle beer, nettle cordial, and nettle Turkish delight (which absolutely slaps by the way)

There is, in fact, life beyond politics.

Also I've left an arrow somewhere in these woods.

#photography #british landscapes #woodland #this is literally just me going “hey i'm still alive” to anyone following this blog and not my main tbh #it has been A Time lately i. need to make more time for art.

a curated selection of my photos from Darlington Day of Dance on Saturday (11/04/2026)

took these standing in the wind and rain with no gloves and my knees out (my team's kit has long stockings and short trousers and about four inches of space between the two) and jesus christ lads it was fucking baltic

Made a get well soon card for my friend who recently had surgery.

She was being menaced by seagulls while she was in hospital, so I thought I'd make sure she had company now she's home. 😇

#thoughts and prayers are my avian enforcement agents #art #physical art #coloured pencils #seagulls

i may come back to this, but i'm happy enough with it for now

The Creation of Glinda, 3 Apr 2026

If you like my work, consider commissioning me! All info is on my Carrd. I am wary of Tumblr PMs as there are so many bots: if you message me to enquire about commissions please include the word Weaver in the first message so I know you're a real person.
