Reform won in my area time to go back to the country my grandma illegally immigrated from

On holiday and just been to see a movie, feeling like I should maybe try and be creative again. But nothing happens, I just feel tired deep down.

It's been burned out of me.

I just want to create again.

More head studies

I have no idea why im suddenly painting skinned animal heads but I guess we all cope with things differently. Work is rough, Im in the emergency services and sometimes it's near impossible to feel like anything you does matter.

Anyway, here's a cow head with a speedpaint too

[meghillust]

Did a pigs head study, full version under the cut.

Plus a speedpaint for my fellow freaks :)

"America the brave" no longer

Stay safe and protect your neighbours. Do not stop filming. They cannot control the narrative when there is undeniable proof.

One hundred years ago this year- Togo, aged 12, ran 674 miles to deliver a life saving diphtheria serum to Nome.

He ran through white outs, thawing lakes and impossible odds. He was never recognised for this, because Balto ran the final 50 miles and crossed the line first. Togo was finally recognised for his efforts in 2001, 76 years too late.

Today is the 96th anniversary of his death, aged 16.

So I have to take about something that happened today.

I'm travelling to london for a gig and on the boat there was a lady struggling with her bags. Huge suitcases. People were tutting and complaining "it's always them" (black people) but there were 0 complaints about the old white lady who was also slowing people down.

I barged past the boomer couple trying to squeeze her into the side of the jetty and asked her if she needed help with her bags. She looked scared for a moment and then immediately thanked me. I carried the biggest bag onto the ferry. I waited for her when we got off and carried her bags to where she needed to get to.

I missed my train doing this. Her son was struggling with his suitcase and fell over. So what did I do? Picked up his bag and raced him to where his mum was waiting.

I got on the next available train, she did too. Turns out she got lost and this train was hers too. She told me she came here for work but with the rising cost of living, she can't afford to give her son a good life here. He's going home to Kenya while she scrapes together more money. That's why she has so many bags, they're all his things.

I realised she was initially worried about me storming over to her because im wearing my old Falklands war jacket. It has the flag on the arm. She just saw someone with the union jack after being judged so harshly and assumed the worst.

She's wearing her flag on her wrist, mine is on my arm. She's a good mother who's doing her best in a country that's increasingly turning on it's own people and immigrants.

We're sat together on this train.

I wish she wasn't on this train. I wish the flag on my arm didn't scare her. I wish England was a better place for everyone.

Maybe if we all carried eachother's bags it would be a little bit better.

How incredible it is to witness the world's first de-extinction

Naturally I felt the need to paint Remus, one of the two twins that changed the face of genetic sciences. The same company has also cloned litters of Red Wolves, a critically endangered species.

The painting took 1 hour 15 minutes
