I’ve fallen down similar rabbit holes with celtic knotwork. There’s a chap called George E. Bain who wrote about it but it’s very complicated stuff including factors and prime numbers. In the end you just work it out on squared paper.

Illustration Of two pumpkin headed women dressed in frilly Victorian undergarments are such corsets and Ruffles and things one pumpkin head has two triangle eyes but no mouth the other has a big smiling mouth but no eyes each of them is holding a big knife in cutting away at the other's head with abandon to produce faces

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

Hi I’m David, an old West Country goblin.
I was once a sculptor but now do illustrations based on folklore, mythology, & wildlife. I paint the odd landscape.
In winter I make cigar box guitars and repair musical instruments.
I have been known to build bread ovens & funeral biers.

But you’d have been so disappointed if your NHS trust didn’t do it.
It’s really not much fun. You have to leave your dignity at the door & you’re there for hours cleaning the saline gloop off, but compared to smear tests I reckon us fellas get off lightly.
Interesting though - was told I had twins.

Fun fact - if you get your bollocks ultrasounded (is that a word?) they throw in a free kidney ultrasound as part of the deal. All four organs in tip top condition I was pleased to find out. I wasn’t told that I had lovely nads though.

Art by Jean-François Portaels. Painting of a witch with long black hair, wearing a red dress in what seems like a cave. She looks curious. Black cat sitting beside her.

Witchy news tomorrow. So wonderfully witchy that Jean-François Portaels' witch might crawl out of her lovely dark cave. Hihi. 🧹🖤

I like that story about the male archaeologists thinking that knives kept in rafters was for "ritual" purposes until the women pointed out is was to stop the kids hurting themselves.

For cis fellas it starts to go the other way in old age. I'm a sixty year old badger. Cronedom awaits and there's nothing to be done about it 🙂🦡

Having a convo on FB with a friend (I know, - not prepared to leave it yet whilst I still have friends there though) about people we looked like when younger. I looked just like BBC radio 1 DJ Mike Reed. Him of the bonkers and unpleasant right wing ideology.
Pleased I no longer get mistaken for him.

Someone say it was the fiftieth anniversary of the Rocky Horror Picture Show a couple of weeks ago? This was 1988. Faces blurred out to protect the innocent.

Beautiful. I see red billed choughs every year in Pembrokeshire, but I’ve never seen one of these.

Bastard commissions. Why do I do this to myself? Sketches absolutely not working.
This is supposed to be a giant tattooed troll woman giving a polar bear coat to a human character. Just looks like someone’s mum getting them ready for school.
Anyone ever seen a troll or a polar bear coat? I haven’t.
