Back in the day, Canaletto was paid by the dot. Lucky he died when he did, otherwise he might have accidentally discovered pointillism. Imagine the consternation that would have caused down at the Art Historians’ Social Club! #canaletto #art #painting #arthistory #dots #pointillism #venice #painter #artist #arttechniques (at Dulwich Picture Gallery)

New Christmas cards available on our website. They say ‘Father Christmas! You Are A Tool Of The Capitalist Machine!’ (but in French, because it’s cool). Available in sets of 10 complete with eco Kraft envelopes, they’re printed on lovely glittery card for extra Christmassyness. Tap the image or follow the link in our bio to get your Christmas card dilemma sorted faster than you can say ‘Solidarity with the striking elves’.

Dug out one of the old ‘O’ Level exam papers. Pretty tough - and this was only question 1. By question 17 they were asking which digits of pi were the same as Arthur Askey’s phone number.
