Day 44. Well how about that. Practically half way and I haven’t missed a day yet. Have spent the past few days being inspired by my daughter and her friend’s henna painting on their hands. If you’re curious, you can check it out on my Instagram. Today, however, I decided to try and knock Klee … Continue reading Day 44 – Darktown Cove
Well, yesterday’s picture went down a storm. I’m drowning in virtual love. Hmm. That doesn’t sound right. Nevermind.

This picture is Meem One (1967) by Anwar Jalal Shemza, an artist I discovered at an exhibition at the Tate last year and have had an ongoing obsession with ever since. Shemza … Continue reading Day 4 – Meem One
Day 3 of my #100daysofemdash, which you can follow if you’re REALLY INTERESTED on Instagram and Twitter (please follow me, I have so few friends on these accounts it makes me feel socially inadequate to only get likes from commercial companies and SEO consultants).
