Quick one, just to let you know that on this gorgeous sunny morning -  finally got some new bits in the Shop section of the website. The jewellery that Lucy Langridge and myself made over the Summer is now available to order – a lovely little Broken Heart pendant, a Silver Magpie, and the previously available Puzzle Piece and Curious Kitten design. Let us know your thoughts, all appreciated innit.

Also, a small selection of my ‘CAN’T BEAR’ designs have been made into greetings cards and postcards – for any of you who are prone to despair and disgust at this time of year, this might be well up your street. All the greeting cards come with a original verse on the flip side which some might find a silly bit of dark humour or otherwise rightfully hate filled and entirely relevant. Great for the cynics amongst you all. In view of this current and crooked season of birthdays, here’s a timely verse which appears on the back of 1 of the 2 CAN’T BEAR birthday cards . . .

Birthdays come but once a year
The stomach turns and mind breeds fear
The door bell rings and in they come
Bearing shitty gifts and then some
So I draw a smile on my face
“Thanks a bunch, just what I hate”
Best get the cake, I’ve got my wish
For you to give next year a miss

The idea is, this cute but creepy skeletal bear encompasseses all that I and perhaps others cannot stomach – from condoms, birthdays, hippies, all the way to abstract expressionism (and by that I mean the majority of utter wank that you’ll find celebrated in the mainstreams of the modern art establishments) plus a bunch of others – check them out innit.  This current selection are available seperately or in bundles. I can also do small 5 x 7 inch original canvas versions to order, where you tell me exactly what you ‘Can’t Bear’ and I’ll put this into play with my brush. Email me for details or leave a comment here and we can chat innit, many thanks. xxx CroOK?
