We are delighted to announce that MINI Plant Oxford has joined the herd as our official Paint Shop Partner. 🎉

MINI will be putting their resources to great use by spray painting each of our life-sized oxen with a protective coating!🐂

Experimenting with typography animation using these folktale titles. Enjoying the jerky, unpolished nature of hand drawing individual frames-I think it lends well to the folkloric atmosphere, something naive and childlike but also ominous…… #typography #animation #folklore

The art of visual wit, can always rely on ⁦LeadDev⁩ to get my noggin doing somersaults. #visualwit #conceptillustration #corperateillustration #visualmetaphor #bolddesign #designer linkedin.com/posts/%F0%9D%9…

I bloody love designing book covers. It really helps when you love the genre and cannot wait to read it and get your illustrator brain ticking #bookdesigner #bookillustration #psychologicalthriller #horrorbooks linkedin.com/posts/%F0%9D%9…

Over the past month, our artists have been using our painting space in the Westgate to bring their designs to life!

Here are just a few sneak peeks of what’s to come this summer. 👀 If you’re not already, make sure to follow us to keep up to date on all our sneak peeks!

Reclaiming derogatory terms for women of a certain age, one wood slice curio at a time. Today embrace your inner whimsical witch…… #witch #curio #handpainted #fridaymorning

#crankie goes to Hollywood……well, Wolvercote Village actually. Adventures in Crankie so far….. #analogueart #crankie theatre #microtheatre #onaboat

It’s far easier to procrastinate by altering the pitch of Kate Bush’s beautiful tones than it is to write anything half sensible.

I’m writing and illlustrating a memoir. A Black Country Folk Horror…..Featuring sorcery, pork scratchings and Kate Bush; this is a tale spawned from an overgrown back garden in a Witch-ridden Wolverhampton…….help fuel the project ko-fi.com/karisgonegonzo #witches #wolverhampton

The most fun about this ridiculous project is sharing bits of it with no context……just make sure you run to the hills!
All I can say is that Iceland has a lot to answer for

Embodying life and death; dancing between realms, from trickster to sage. Small, mighty, hiding and seeking. Confuzzled shadows and light, through play and tragedy reveal the good and the bad. The death sprite is me. It is you. It is all of us magnificent meatsacked brain basins

Recently I’ve been adorning the awkward boat nooks and crannies with death omens. I’m also enjoying some moth-rave editing #deathheadhawkmoth #moth #RAVERS #darknature #darkart #wallart #alchemy #omen #goth #mythology #boatlife

Observed in the wild-a rare treat to happen across a Norfolk ‘hyter Sprite’. Sightings are rare, you’ll spy them clambering the reeds of East Anglian marshlands-only ever after nightfall. Tread carefully through the woodlands after dusk, or the Hikeys’ll get you. #britishfolklore
