Sunday quick thing. Was overthinking the ending so this is what happened @ericaakerlundart Thanks to @mia10ant for colouring in, a bit. Yes, 2024.

This went off to San Francisco, mid March as a gift to a friend who has just moved there. Happy to hear she’s arrived safely and is now hanging up in a downtown Californian kitchen. My furthest artwork so far, next stop Japan. #maintenant #saintmaintenant #morningcalifornia #wobblybits #

Amanda de Cadenet 2015. One of the original more-than sketches. At the time I was working at a small ad agency and scribbled this character in biro and wrote Amanda de Cadanet under it, maybe it was from a magazine or something, I don’t recall. The creative teams loved it and I ended up drawing this about 5 times, one is framed somewhere #amandadecadenet #maintenant #yellow #posey #sketch #roughidea #saintmaintenant #notnow

Sunburnt 2015. An A4 size painting, one of the early Saint Maintenant. There’s only a few more, and some sketches. #orange #sunbum #sunburnt #bluehair #soinrightnow #maintenant #tennant

Sitting No.3. 2015. This A2 size painting resides at a friend’s house, a gift after staying there 6 months. At the time i made stickers, they may make a comeback, keep an eye on lampposts and walls near you … #sitting #number3 #chair #maintenant #tennant #mavisgrimbley

Daydream 2015. Dedicated to all the women in my life, not just today but every day. All creative, clever, pioneering, funny, confident, caring, discerning, tenacious, diplomatic, generous and loving one of you. This one was on my mum’s wall, now my sister in law has in on one of hers . #iwd2024 #iwd #women #daydream #tennant

Yes. Sitting. 2015. One of the smaller pieces from Saint Maintenant, it’s about to travel to another continent, so good to know it will see the world. Farewell blue character on a stool saying something in French. #justsitting #bluecharacter #yes #no #maintenant #tennant #purplehair #pinksky

Beach Ball 2015. Another from that year. Larger than normal and maybe a bit over considered, and I think incorrect French words, too many ‘de’,
I’m very tempted to remix it. Unless someone would like it as is…. Saint Maintenant limited offer. #maintenant #beachball #zing #beachbum #bum #purplehair #tennant

The Welcoming Committee Ceremony. 2106. This large piece is one of two, the other was gifted to a friend. It was exploration into colour and repetition and somehow ended up resembling something Jelly Babies could use to sell more of them. #ceremony #jellybaby #welcomingcommittee #dance #maintenant #tennant

XXL/2016. My personal favourite from the Saint Maintenant ‘collection’. Before I introduced words into them, more soon. Difficult to photograph or insta does something to warm yellows. #xxl #yellow #warmyellow #mustard #hotdogandmustard #purple #chaiselongue

No.3 from 2016. Timely one to share with the brilliant full moon this weekend. Definitely feeling the positive effects of this one, so is the character in this painting. #fullmoon #moon #happynaked #soho #maintenant #now

Dream 2018. A fusion of Saint Maintenant and some exploration into colour. Another one off. I try not to overthink something when it’s taking me away from the direction I had in mind. This is one of those times. #ladydream #maintenant #newflag #colourtest #colourwheel

Something. 2018. This one off led to and merged in

Something. 2018. This one off led to and merged into a style later on. It’s an in between piece, some experimenting with new paints and colours with no road map. I could make up some meaning, so could you. It’s quote time… from Stanley Whitney ‘ A bad day is a good day, because a bad day is when you’re trying to take it to a different level’ #explosivecolour #testone #noroadmap #stanleywhitney #tennant

Now or never. 2016. This is one of the first Saint Maintenant pieces. I gifted to a friend back then and tbh had completely forgotten about it until last weekend, when by coincidence I was at their place for the first time since they moved away and there it was, proudly centred on the wall in their studio. It’s kind of unfinished but that’s how it goes sometimes. It’s now or never when concluding a piece. #nowornever #jamais #maintenant #rareart #snowangel

A bolt out of the blue. This diptych from 2017 is part of the Saint Maintenant collection. Unfortunately the second canvas has been damaged in storage so I’ll redo that one- although I think they work on their own also. 🤔 #boltoutoftheblue #astonishing #coupdefoudre #lightening #luscious
