It's a year today since I got the keys for my flat! I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to be a homeowner, so I want to mark the occasion by giving to people who are without the safety and comfort a home should provide.

Shop Link

My itch store has digital copies of all my books (for half the price of print copies) including several that are now out of print. It is also the only place to get the special digital versions of my goblin zines, which have loads of art and writing you can't get elsewhere!

I hope you'll consider getting some of my silly little books to help an important cause, this felt like the best way to mark the aniversary of getting a home of my own, as I don't have much money to give hopefully donating my shop income will help boost the difference it makes!

Did a wee shop update! New in my store are a tshirt with a lot of earwigs on it, plus big colourful stickers of my boar design and a boto dolphin. I'm also running low on Owl People book 1, Saint begone and boar t-shirts, so get them before they run out if you'd like one!

I actually looked up the book these photos are from cos it's uhhh relevant to a current project, and these beautiful boar are by Sally Matthews, from a sculpture project called "Wild boar Clearing" made in Grizedale Forest, Cumbria, UK from 1987-89. The source given above is actually a book of garden and botanical sculpture by Paul Cooper, who is an accomplished artist and garden designer but didn't make these awesome boar.

You can still see the remains of some of her sculptures from this forest residency here!

You can also see more of her work here!

fun fact, the capercaillie's name comes from an old gaelic name for it that roughly translates to "forest horse." They're extremely endangered in the UK due to habitat disruption and I hope one day to meet the forest horse.

Also the willow grouse here is called the ptarmigan (tarmachan in gàidlig) and is also very at risk due to climate change.
