  5. Welcome followers that I've migrated from my previous Ghostsigns account on mastodon.social. I'm now posting that stuff here, alongside my wider adventures in sign painting with @sam .

    I won't be offended if you just want the ghost signs stuff and choose to unfollow me and/or follow the #Ghostsigns tag 😊
