'The dog's bollocks' began as typographers' slang for the colon dash because of its appearance :- Its meaning shifted to follow other formulae of excellence, such as 'the cat's whiskers', 'the bee's knees', and the sadly-lost 'kipper's knickers'.

I'll never know anyone remotely like Robbie again. He was an incredible talent, a complete one off, and I was beyond fortunate to know him, work with him and laugh my head off with him. I send my love and deepest condolences to his family, above all his children.

The paints are back out. I need to get back to painting for my own sake. Need to put me first for a while. #greysheddesigns #painting #hobby

My studio needs a bit of a clear out. Or just a tidy up maybe. 🤪

Some recent paintings. Changing things up a bit! Freedom of expression. Set of three. ❤️

We are now taking orders, for Christmas, from our set of pre drawn pen and ink prints. Prints are £10 each for an A4 on 300gsm paper. Single image or multiple images. Posted to any UK address - ideal gift. greysheddesigns.etsy.com or message me. #greysheddesigns
