Right, instead of feeling gloomy I want to do something positive.
I'm doing "Move for Mind" in January.
Mental Health is more understood than it was but still not accepted or funded enough.
Please share & sponsor if you can. Start 2026 off on a good note.

One of the handwritten gift notes that I can include for free with all orders, if desired.
First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Giles Coren comparing himself to Georgy Markov's murder by the BBC/KGB is a Giles Classic and Sarah Vine is in top form as the Mystic Meg in reading the future and genes of our future king.
