A pal of mine makes these for folk using fur and bits of toys from their dead pets... A weird kind of taxidermy I suppose which isn't my thing but spookily touching I guess.

Ha, not a quiz, but love this earliest-known image of the Trojan horse. "Trojan horse depicted on the Mykonos vase ca. 675 BC, so around the time of the Odyssey and Iliad. Found with human bones inside (like the horse!) and now in the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. Image shows the horse with little windows in its side so you can see the men waiting inside. "

It doesn’t say “We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead”.
Hard to tell what purpose it serves. 🧐

It's like one of those ancient charabancs, but on legs: "Didn't we have a luverly time..."

I draw things for my good lady and hide them in her lunch bag. I have no idea what the f*ck this is, some sort of weird heart, flower, monster. Who the f*ck knows.

Pencil, ink, marker on 300gsm paper, 2026.

Since nobody else has had a crack...

Roman. Third century I think, but maybe a bit earlier.

It is indeed. Well done. Just thought it looked rather 1920's/30's from the headwear and earrings.

Amy Winehouse’s dad has been absolutely eviscerated by a judge.
Doesn’t seem like a very nice person.

It always appeared he monetised her fame for his own ends, in life and in death. I can't remember which of the many documentaries it is in, but there is one where Amy is on holiday thinking her Dad is joining her alone for a nice father and daughter get away and he turns up with a full documentary crew (which he is obviously being paid for). I always think there is something rather sad when parents live off their children's fame.

I know this one, so won’t enter.
The picture needs something for scale, these are tiny. The size of your finger tips.
