Air plants in a glass bowl under Ultraviolet Light displaying different colours and details of natural Bio-Luminescence.

Thought I’d teach myself how to capture natural Bio-Luminescence under UV light.

Not too shabby for a first attempt.

After a request from my “American mom”, I spent an entire afternoon making stupid art for no other reason than to make at least one person happy. #trolls #trollsofdartmoor #dartmoor #dartmoortrolls #trollsintherain #trollseatingraspberryrippleicecream #photography #creativeediting #alittlebitoffun

Original image from the early 1900's of a family

Recoloured version of an early 1900's family portrait

Earlier this year I was brought the original image to repair, along with the frame and glass. The client wished to retain what would have been the original Monochrome.
The colour version is purely for my own entertainment & practice

...As the client is taking this to their brother who has early onset Dimentia, but remembers this. They've said they'll let me know how it goes when they present him with a copy and are happy for me to share. Ta

Photo Restoration: Bringing Family Treasures to Life | Thorn Valley Studios Discover how expert Photo Restoration brought a family's treasured cartoon drawing back to life. Dive into this unique Photo Restoration project!

While I have yet to figure out who the original artist was, here's a blog about the Cartoon Restoration job: www.thornvalleystudios.co.uk/post/how-i-b...

Thanks to @mrjamesob.bsky.social and all his wonderful followers who tried to help. There's more to this story to come over the next few days...

Heard back from the Cartoon Museum. Nothing in their records. Worth a punt. Thanks for the tip.

I don’t understand what you mean?

I've sent them an email with the images and information. Fingers crossed they can help. Many thanks for the pointer.

Thank you. It’s very close to the signature for Donald McGill (the McG bit anyway), but the first part of the signature doesn’t seem to match with anything.

It’s absolutely fine, half the fun in uncovering history is the search for the truth. It’s a bit like repairing or restoring images, there’s nothing quite like finding out the stories.

It’s possible that it was another serviceman who was just really good at drawing (the date and signature make me think perhaps not) But it would be nice to find out something definitive for them and their family.

I shall try them, see if they have any input. Many thanks.

Was just looking at his work. Not to worry. Always nice to discover different artists.

Many thanks, I shall investigate further.

I shall investigate further. Thanks.

I can’t find anything that says either way. All I know is my clients father kept it in a tube until he decided to glue it to a board and then hang it in his shed which led to its rather rapid decline.

There’s a few that look similar from Punch magazine but none of the signatures seem to match up. It’s a bit “needle in haystack” but it’s a very interesting piece with a lot of its history missing. If it comes to you, please let me know. Many thanks.

I’ve tried the Google image search, asked on Facebook, Reddit etc but got nowhere. Thought it would be nice to give back to the client (who’s father is in it) with a bit more information than they currently have.

Original cartoon drawing before repair

Partial repair and restoration

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’ve got a bit of a mystery that isn’t quite #mysteryhour worthy, but your collective following may be able to assist with. I’m repairing an old cartoon from 1946 for a client and trying to find out who the artist was. Attached the original and partial repair for guidance. Ta

Repaired and retouched version of the damaged Negative

Found some old photo negatives in the house and thought it may be time go through them and see what memories are hiding in a cupboard...
