The (S)ad Stork

Tom, 25. Postgraduate student. This blog is fairly ancient by standards, about ten years old or so, and there have been a few changes in that time. However now it's just an art blog. It's just art that I like, really. I should tag stuff but since this is really just for me I can't really be bothered. Vague themes and stuff but mostly just an eclecticism. I'll probably archive this soon and start a more dedicated blog, but for now here we are. If we've talked over the years, and I know it's unlikely, thankyou for everything. I think I'm just going to go now.
