A group of comically proportioned pigeon statues on Edinburgh's Elm Row. The pigeons are very orbular and officious looking, with a lifelike impression of strutting motion. The statues are designed by Shona Kinloch, photo taken by C. K. Pidgeon

A retranslation project still in its infancy. Stay tuned!

A woman dressed in a black 16th century kirtle, framed by a stone archway with wrought iron gates; she is holding a longbow. The overall effect is vaguely menacing, like she might decide to shoot an arrow in someone's face.

Stance on AI

Bad. It's bad. I fucking hate it and everything it represents. I refuse to use it in any way. GTFO with that shit. Also I am reclaiming the sparkle emoji on behalf of the sarcastic bitch community ✨
None of my work will ever have generative AI involved in its creation. I will always refuse to work with collaborators who use it in their own work as far as I can ascertain.
That being said please think very carefully before making accusations of AI use against an artist or writer. False claims can really fuck up someone's career.
