Oh wow Lea, good find. More of the same then, 6 years on 😕 I'll have a full read later 👍

Monochrome photograph. A frame of metal joists holds up a tall wall, it is all that remains of a previous building, to be used as a facade for the new.

These are all around Shoreditch. I had a wander around there a couple of weeks back, so much to photograph that I'm still dipping in and sharing them

Thanks Alan 👍

Monochrome photograph. Two modern tower blocks rising above a terrace of Victorian buildings. The brickwork patched in places and stained by water. Paint is peeling from the wooden window frames.

Monochrome photograph. Looking across a road to a bus stop. Sunlight makes the perspex softly glow, the bench sparkles. The frame of the bus stop and accompanying trees create long shadows on the road.

Six spooky Christmas cards arranged clumsily on distressed black wooden floorboards

Four prints of illustrations based on supernatural stories arranged haphazardly on a wooden floor

A spooky Advent calendar based on a vintage postcard of Borley Rectory, placed for the purposes of poorly lit marketing photography on wooden floorboards.

Seasonal marketing post! Print stocks replenished, creepy Christmas cards now available individually (though not THAT many, so don't hang about if you really want a horrible Marley card) and Advent calendars still available (inc free Borley Xmas card!) sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

Monochrome photograph. Wilson Street Chapel in London is tucked between two buildings. Above, several tower blocks loom from behind, two of them under construction.

Heavens above 🙏

Monochrome photograph of the lower half post of a football goal. The painted lines stop a few inches short at each side, a logistical problem. Cut tie-wraps from previously bulging nets are scattered on the grass.

I was looking at this, and how it looks like someone has taken scissors to it and cut ⅔ down. And then two eyes appeared in those bushes and now I can only see a face. And it's late.

😂

I think it's just 'H's but why ruin a joke? 😁

I'll go with the one above, 'Haha' 😁

Photograph of an urban wall supporting a bridge above. The wall is covered in colourful graffiti. A patch in the centre has been work away by a steady stream of water, leaving a rusty coloured patch of brick. On the pavement the water channels across the pavement, down into the gutter.

A gentle erosion

So we suffered a year of greys, whilst your sisters followers would have had bucket-loads of blue?! 😠😂👏

I actually thought that was a stretching cat 😺

Monochrome photograph. Barren heathland damaged by fire. Mounds of earth in the foreground, shadows on the edges of little 'craters'. A leafless tree beyond. In the background are trees and shrubs.

Monochrome photograph of an inner city football/basketball cage. A street cabinet this side of the tall fence is covered in graffiti. 3 footballs wait on the concrete pitch in anticipation. A block of flats behind.

All 4 images are monochrome photographs. Half of the vertical of this image is taken up by a concrete post. The letters O & K are backlit with a gap between them. The other half, a lorry cab and bin bags strewn on the pavement in front of a building.

The 'OK post' again but looking the other way. Behind and to the side are the lines of high rise buildings. In the distance a man is walking towards the back of a lorry

The 'ok post' but central with a gap each side. A man walks away, obscured slightly by a potted shrub.

A battered keep left sign on a traffic island on a London road. It has obviously been hit several times in it's duty. Scuff marks and pieces hanging off. Behind is an urban scene of high rise tower blocks.

It's going to be OK

Yep, that'll do it 😱😂

A black and white printing ink and black pen illustration of a man driving a pony & trap towards a large dark house, the only source of illumination being a light by the doorway of the house and stars in the night sky. Spooky & atmospheric.

My illustrations for The Woman in Black are now available as signed giclee prints. You can view them on my website nicktankard.co.uk I’ll also be making the original illustrations available here on Bluesky, watch this space…The illustrations are in the hardback edition published by Vintage Classics.

Well, this was definitely the perfect use of that wizardry!

Ooh, a falling leaves feature. Like it 🍂😁

😁 Thanks Brian 🛸

Yeah, that bit too 🥺

This is very cool 👏😎

Photograph looking up at an unusual 'pylon'. It's comprised of two vertical parallel poles which support 3 horizontal bars, these have uprights at each end supporting 3 cables either side. It resembles a Space Invaders ship, I think anyway!
