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)

#cooking #kitchen #foraging #hello yes I'm alive

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.

this whole "do a tone study before you paint" approach is having uhhhhh mixed results tbh

eta: i'm getting mad because i LOVE how elphaba is turning out and meanwhile glinda still doesn't look great

hated Glinda's face so i totally redid it

painted some lichen this weekend

#art #physical art #watercolour #lichen #nature #still life #painting #the smudge on the right isn't part of the painting. there were small children present.#five-year-old wandered up and went “are you using THIS colour?” while sticking her hand in my paintbox #smeared it on the paper nodded in satisfaction and walked away

you know what though I'm fucking amazing at this

yourdailyjormy

honestly so proud of this is the thing. I feel like you could buy this in a reasonably fancy bakery without complaint.

also it's delicious.

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

there are 13 illustrated poems in this booklet

i have never done saddle stitch or any kind of bookbinding before

i have absolutely no proper bookbinding equipment

somehow i have still pulled this off in the space of less than a week

I don't normally say this about myself, but hot damn i'm good.

#bookbinding #illustrations #poetry #idk what to tag this really #but LOOK WHAT I DID #BEHOLD MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS #also now i can breathe a huge sigh of relief because my printer ink lasted through the whole print job #which i REALLY wasn't sure it would #i had to stop doing test prints bc it was showing low ink and i was like “oh no i can't get another ink cartridge in time”

#calligraphy #illuminated manuscript #art #I probably need to go back over the lines but for now GOOD ENOUGH

me, a smart person: i have to knock out another four illustrations i'm happy with today. what if i made myself draw a car, something famously SUPER EASY TO DRAW AND INCORPORATE BELIEVABLY INTO A BACKGROUND

this car is clearly driving into the verge oops

#painting #digital painting #illustration #you know what. fuck it. it's fine.

did already post this poem when i wrote it (over a year ago) so here, have a page spread for it

#ngl i had SO MUCH FUN with this one and i really like how it came out #i feel like i've fully got the Vibes of a snowstorm with just. violently random application of eraser and particle tools #art #poetry #illustrations #i do really need to do a test print of this because it's VERY hard to gauge how legible it's going to be

attempting An Serious Art to short deadlines for my partner's birthday

yourdailyjormy

title page, on the other hand, maybe not so serious

#i may add some more elements to this later but again there are still 12 illustrations to do #and it's 4:30 am in the morning #so. for now we are being Super Fuckin Basic #also this is something my partner and i say to each other on a daily basis. it's not. like. just me being aggro.#scale of one to ten how bad is the mood whiplash going to be between that cover page and that poem being the first one in the booklet?

attempting An Serious Art to short deadlines for my partner's birthday

#“jormy this looks fine” yes i have 12 more poems to illustrate by sunday #because i am an idiot who decided “yeah no sure i'll do a FULLY ILLUSTRATED POETRY COLLECTION” two weeks before the deadline #once more i have made myself boo boo the fool #his birthday is on wednesday but i'm staying with him from monday so frankly even sunday is cutting it Pretty Damn Fine #art #poetry #illustrations #image described #i will not be posting all the pages because honestly posting this one is already Uncomfortably Personal #but i AM happy with the layout/illustration here so. yeah. ok.
