‘The Dude Work’ Paul Brookes @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social latest collection is utterly captivating. Each page is a flight of imagination into bird worlds where Paul’s words are wings. Congratulations Paul, it’s really wonderful. 👏👏👏

Hullo. This in the current issue of @thewingedmoon.bsky.social (Averted vision in astronomy is a way of seeing more detail in a dim sky object by not looking directly at it but rather using your peripheral vision)

Another old poem, just revived.

Hullo #vss365 and to #liberation

"thin worn lives scrubbed tin-bath raw"

I make art, photos, buns & books. It’s how I pay my bills - along with a mini pension. Trying to transition from the bird gone bad place, but it’s tough. Found no buyers or biz allies so far. Help me out and share this post and take a wee look at my website? 🙏 debhandmade.com/shop #originalart

COVER REVEAL:”Tree Poets : River of Stone” Well, the third of our rather wonderfilled Tree Poet series is soon to see the light of a spluttering day, and is particularly special. You will in fact love it. I promise. Today, I only have the cover for you - pre-orders and the rest will follow soon…
