I also have this thing with the Urdu language, it features heavily in my prints – I love the cursive font and poetic imagery of the language. My pages are listed in both Urdu and English, let me transl(iter)ate the words for you:

Shout out to the NHS, but especially to the foreign workers Dido Harding wants to get replace. This happened to me this week! True story - I used the stick from my banana ice lolly to print this. I really wonder what tree they use to make these wooden sticks from, perhaps it's the grain or the size but this was a challenge. Here's my #thoughtpressproject contribution. Of 100 UK printmakers, I am the last to contribute, and I hate that it took me so long. The theme for the project is childhood memories and imagination. I wasn't old enough to watch Legend in the cinema but I still put it in this print and July 29th is just a special day for me. The prints for Thought Press Project are being sold in aid of two charities - Mind, and Heart Felt Tip. You can browse through all the prints and buy them too at thoughtpressproject.shop This is the eighteenth century equivalent of millionaires telling the masses not to eat avocados so we can afford to buy a house. From Adam Smith's pen to your feed via my Division of Labour print. Like a rainbow 🌈 Yesterday the UN's ICTY upheld a 2017 verdict sentencing Mladic to life in prison for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Srebrenica, Bosnia and against the Muslim Bosniak community. Big Brother is Watching You 👀 and your phone is listening to you. Anyway, this print is now listed on my Etsy shop, there are nine colours to choose from, go knock yourself out! Here's a close up of my last block, a postage stamp all the way from Oceania. The ink is drying and I'm listing this in all the colours on my Etsy shop soon.
