3 more small artworks I’ve taken an age to share. These are by Charlotte Farmer, based in Bath, UK. These pics don’t pick up the vibrancy of the colours, as they contain lumos, absolutely beautiful work.

Looking at her etsy, I see a Tunnocks teacake and a Caramel bar print that are now on my must have list.

came across this vision of the future by Dwiggins: The Five Hundred Years: A Time Problem (1941)

looking forward to a "century of awakening", but hope the "machine horde" doesn't get us first.
