Behind the scenes:

-

This is one of my sketches from October last year.

I didn't want to stop until it was finished, so I cried through the pain.

People think I'm an artist with a disability which is true but what I mean when I say disabled artist is that it hurts to create art.

My chronic pain condition makes life unbearable some days and I refuse to give up on my art.

My tears and heart and soul go into every piece.

I will continue forward with my art journey and try and get this to become a business but right now I appreciate all those who are kind enough to support me and share my work.

You are the angels of my home town and on social media and I appreciate you so very very much.

It's not easy trying to be an artist (or anything) when you seize up and really sore, but I work through the pain and I endure it as best as I can because the art I create speaks more than any words I could write.

I'm also an ebook author on Amazon, starting out, and as social stigma prevents me from finding a decent job, I will find and pave my own way in this world.

All your support is greatly appreciated.

Most of these things are created at cost and as a hobby at the moment.

I legally smoke medical grade cannabis to manage the pain but haven't been able to due to dry socket from a severe tooth extraction infection.

My face is swollen and hurting and my pain conditions flared up but all I can do is endure.

I will pave my way in this life and I won't give up.

To all my pain warriors out there, I see you, I know what you endure as I live it daily and you all really don't know what amazing superhumans you are to do what you do and keep going!

Don't let the world make you feel less than, when your disability makes you MORE than. ✨

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

-

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
