Missing today's #portraitchallenge from @StudioTeaBreak, so i take the chance to suggest "Ruby", paintend with oil on canvas by Thomas Cooper Gotch in 1909. This NOT the official entry for the challenge.
I’m really hoping I’ll please someone at school tomorrow with this toilet roll head. It’s meant to be a giant… Thank you @DarrellWakelam “art jumpstart” from your website is fab and I got your book too!
In this fledgling era of AI, and at a time where 'art' can materialise at the push of a button, it's worth remembering that most artists are still human, still unique, and remain determined to be creative long into the future. 🙂💪

Thanks so much for Guardian mention, Stuart Heritage! And for highlighting the #PicturesMeanBusiness campaign to show how *everyone* benefits when illustrators are credited properly for their work ✍️
Stuart Heritage writes for Guardian: "‘I am very serious about being silly’: children’s illustrators on the art of storytelling." See: theguardian.com/books/2026/m…
