Oooh ACEOs are popular right now, maybe I should make some Bernard ones.

A watercolour portrait of Amy Lee in her iconic Malice in Wonderland dress from an old photoshoot. One of my absolute favourite photos of her.
Is anyone else's mental health being severely affected to a large extent by *gestures at everything*?
More bead embroidery inspired by @ansitru.bsky.social ✨ this time, I really went all out with the beads!
I've found a new love for this kind of craft, I'm still learning but it is so much fun and whimsical. This piece in particular was a gift for my daughter who loves it very much 💖
I seriously thought I was safe from Twitter bullshittery over on Threads, alas the stupidity and ignorance has melted over and everyday it's just fascism and AI and ragebait.
This is the year I get more Whimsical.
Full unhinged whimsy. Get ready for it.
#artvsartist2025 ✨
This year has clearly all been about colour and whimsy. Long may it continue. ❤️

If anyone could do it, it's you.

I upset some men over on Threads by sharing an embarrassing anecdote about an ex. They took it VERY personally. Like, I don't care if you watch GILF porn my dude, that was not the point of my post but go off I guess...
A personal and professional win today. I had a very long chat with three year 11 girls and they told me I'm the ultimate girl's girl and they feel safe talking to me. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm thinking of doing a swap shop, where I offer pieces I've made and you offer me something to swap for it.
Another art piece, a trinket, something cool you think I'd like, art supplies, your house - the options are endless!
What a pretty little guy. 🐸🌸
Swipe for something cheeky!

Women are being raped, beaten and murdered everyday and all people can talk about is religion and skin colour. Misogyny is sadly universal.
I have been heavily inspired by @ansitru.bsky.social and decided to give bead embroidery a go. It's a very first wobbly first try but I love it. Need more beads and whimsy. 🌸🌼

Thank you to Leonie, Callum and Chris for being wonderful supporters, and for Adam too - I owe you 40+ MTG tokens my dude.
Love and Bernards, now and always.

I don't have the time to dedicate to running subscriptions, as much as I wish I did.
My shop is staying open. I will continue to write on my Substack as a hobby. And I will keep doodling. You are all friends of the Bernards, now and always.
We are also elbow deep in a cost of living crisis, and I am aware that even a couple of quid a month is asking for a lot right now.
Outside of my creative life, my full time job is quite demanding and I have also returned to education to train to be a counsellor.
I have decided to permanently close my Ko-Fi membership tiers.
To put it bluntly, it has not been a successful endeavour and I have returned the energy by not providing the best rewards for those three kind souls who have supported me for all this time.
When a cabinet makes you so mad you just have to remove South Carolina. ✨ I love you Marcus.

We don't even have Tylenol in the UK, so how come my whole friendship group is autistic?

My heart goes out to those parents of children in America who sent them to school one morning and had to bury them after they were gunned down in their classrooms.

I finished Expedition 33. How I am supposed to carry on with my life now??
If anyone has ever wanted to buy something from me, now would be a great time! I don't like asking, but any and all support is appreciated.

Hello! I don't usually do this but we've spent a small fortune on school uniform and clothes (via Vinted) for little bug as she's had a growth spurt, and I don't start my new job until next month so things are tight.
Did you know that Bernards love to read? ❤️📚
New handmade bookmarks in my Ko-Fi shop! Original art, drawn and painted in watercolours by me. (Friends of Bernard get a 20% discount in my shop remember!)
