For book lovers who have recently come over here, an easy way to join the conversation is with a starter pack. I made 2 and am in the process of making a 3rd, so if you’re a UK-based publisher, agent, bookseller, writer or blogger follow and let me know. 2nd pack follows… 💙📚 go.bsky.app/MjnUSwF

I must start posting more on here. Here’s a screengrab of a bunch of recent Instagram posts. I’m an actor and paint portraits, do life drawings- a bunch of stuff. Follow, engage, DM. Christmas commissions definitely a thing. (Tom Cruise has a painting of mine in his hallway GET OVER IT)
