My bookmarks are available at The Crackpot on Queen Street in Louth. I am a satirical cartoonist. I am currently doing environmental cartoons on both oil drilling and fracking. Cartoon below I created this early summer 2018.

Universal Credit Online Cartoon ; Jane Air cartoonist ; Universal Credit roll out cartoon series


I did this cartoon a short while ago but the theme of this cartoon has been recently in the mainstream news as it has been uncovered that call centre staff have encouraging new claimants to 'go online' to pursue their universal credit claim rather than do it over the phone.

I finally got to meet the protesters on Saturday at the peaceful picnic protest. Last pic is of the crayfish that live in the chalk stream that runs through Biscathorpe. The large crayfish are a threat to the smaller native ones.

On being thrown off the NEA scheme by my work coach and the business of being 'Jane Air'


Not posting my blog just yet

My work coach is a member of the job centre staff and NOT my NEA business mentor

The good news is, although not for me as I already have tons to do, writing poetry, drawing cartoons, selling clothes and creating bookmarks to sell in 2 independent shops in town, is that I am now working on a series of universal credit cartoons. 
19th Oct. Can't get back on despite efforts from my NEA business mentor and the Head of Performance at the NEA. So am 'trying' to apply for universal credit for the self-employed but so far it is hell.

On Lincolnshire Reporter and The Lincolnite websites today


Although I am currently researching the issues surrounding the fracking industry, 
I am very happy to be associated with these articles on fracking.
My landscape performance art is being used for the articles on local democracy and the issue of fracking.

Biscathorpe drilling for oil - Went to look for myself at the precious chalk stream that runs through Biscathorpe


After the public meeting at Donington on Bain village hall hosted by oil regulators, Lincolnshire County Council and the Environment Agency, I went to look for myself at the rare chalk stream that runs through Biscathorpe in the Lincolnshire Wolds.
There was a police presence at the public meeting on drilling for oil in the sleepy village of Donington on Bain.
