Hello, how are your craniums in the heat as summer draws near!

Apologies for the lack of activity of late. A lot is going on in the Den and beyond.

I’m shocked and ecstatic to announce that I will be relocating to Glasgow, Scotland, in the summer as I’ve managed to miraculously obtain a place in the Glasgow School of Art to study Masters of Letters in Fine Art Practice starting in September! This is a massive step after taking nearly two years out of making due to recovery, I feel, despite the up and downs that I will inevitably experience now and in the future, I’m ready to get back to work.

Over the last couple of months I have been doing a series of things with my time, mainly exploring Newcastle with my partner, which has been incredible.

I saw Jeremy Corbyn speak in Hull Zebedees Square and had some encounters with some curious creatures in the Hull area. I also gave blood for the first time, and will most certainly be the first of many!

As you can see, Stoick, Gale, Meadow, Snufkin, Poppy and Daisy are all doing fine, they will be coming with me to Glasgow also so stay tuned for their wee adventures beyond the wall.

I also knitted a jumper…thank you alpacas for your wonderful gift of fleece.

Next up is another Bare All For Polar Bears at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park in July, that I have still yet to start raising money for, but I am planning on making some drawings and selling them to raise money for Project Polar!

I’ll see you all very soon.
