A black pen (in a crosshatch technique) and black printing ink (applied with a roller) illustration on off white paper of a Signalman and his box. The man stands at the foot of the stairs to his signalbox which is situated at the bottom of a rocky and wooded ravine. The box is illuminated from within, its light casts shadows of the man onto a railway track, the track runs into a dark and damp tunnel. Outside of the mouth of the tunnel stands a ghostly figure waving its arms, one across its face the other in the air. A gloomy and atmospheric scene.
Iβm making my originals for The Signalman available to purchase. I doubt theyβll ever be published and theyβre just sitting in a drawer, Iβd like to think that theyβre on a wall somewhere (and that Iβve got some brass for them!).
Soonβ¦watch this space.

Photo from the early 1970s of a man on horseback negotiating the Birmingham inner ring road at Holloway Head
Iβm searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but Iβve been unable to track it down.
Any leads? Iβm really hoping to use it in a book.
(And would much appreciate a RT please)
Research question. March 2020. What video filters were available on Zoom?

It is striking how much the by-election inquest is for the core vote, and may be exacerbating the reputational risks
My partner's Mum is one of the many Filipinos working in the Middle East. Please spare a thought for the Global South workers in places like the UAE. They're much more likely to be at risk than wealthy Westerners.
All the focus groups I ever did on energy policy - and I've done a lot - showed that worries over geopolitics and supply was at least as powerful as climate in building support for renewables. Something I was thinking about as I charged my BEV just now.

Itβs a great day for liking posts.
It's an excellent speech btw. Worth a listen if you haven't heard it yet.
Let's forget about the losers and celebrate Hannah Spencer's well deserved win. She was a great candidate and I'm sure she will be a great MP.
A four-panel collage pairs characters from The Golden Girls with names of Greek goddesses. The top left shows Dorothy labeled βAthena.β The top right shows Rose labeled βDemeter.β The bottom left shows Blanche in a red dress labeled βAphrodite.β The bottom right shows Sophia labeled βHecate.β Each name appears in large colored text over the corresponding characterβs image.
References to Adrian Chiles in the replies to this made me realise you could combine Adrian Chiles with the Allister Heath headline generator from this morning for some real columnist-on-columnist violence
I love a bit of pedestrianisation.
This is a great idea. The footpaths in Oxford Street get so busy!
Frank's Queer Crow Death Magic signed first edition box
just sold one so I *think* there are 5 (five) left of the signed & numbered & hand-stamped-box first editions of the tarot deck, but I just moisturised my hands so I'm not going to check for sure

I really need a project that takes over my research time (unofficially about 10% of my work time) that has nothing at all to do with AI.
Anyone got a #GraphicMedicine or otherwise comics-librarianship related thing they think I should work on?
