I made this Dino + Pigeon watercolour painting to celebrate the announcement of issue 3 ✨🐦 The theme: Myth and Monsters (and Dinosaurs too…) 🦖 ⁣
⁣
Issue 3 is now out and available via on my web shop! It was great seeing some familiar faces and to be introduced to a whole new group of great artists who feature in the zine 💜⁣
⁣
I’d posted a timelapse of the painting but not the final image yet, so here’s an enthusiastic dino/pigeon squad to wish you a very good week! 💛⁣
⁣
I could have spent a long time editing this one but have to remember not to always stress about imperfections sometimes!⁣

We’re appalled and saddened by the racist and Islamophobic riots taking place in Bristol and across the UK.

It is truly shocking to see this happening and we stand in solidarity with people who have arrived in Bristol seeking refuge.

We hope everyone stays safe out there at this challenging time.

It’s important to think of the amazing people who counter the riots and that (ironically, thinking they’re the silent majority) the rioters are a small number of obnoxious and ignorant people we must share this space with.

Sorry we’ve been a little inactive recently 😅 .a.magpie has a broken foot (as seems a common trait among pigeons?) so we’ve been running at a slower pace than usual 🦥✨⁣

We really appreciate all the support and love the collection of works in this issue by such an amazing group of people.⁣
