Paper, pencil, Patricia, and sketches for glasses I’ll be hand-crafting in Digbeth over the winter.

Online bookings are open again for eye exams this month, if getting new specs and seeing photos of the inside of your eyeballs is also on your list.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by on Saturday at the Everything Digbeth Christmas Market at Zellig. We met an absolutely ridiculous number of brilliant people (and some truly majestic eyeballs). I’ve spent the entire weekend editing iris photos like a gremlin, and they should all now be sitting in your inboxes.

If yours hasn’t arrived yet, check your spam folder, your promotions tab, your psychic aura… and then DM me. A few emails bounced back and are now haunting me.

Our competition to win three years of free eyewear gets drawn on Friday 28th November. If you share your iris photo, make sure you tag us and you’ll get an extra entry. Go on… let the people marvel at your ocular glory. Summon those sweet, sweet algorithm gods. And who knows, your very attractive iris sphincter muscles might just win you the grand prize.

Every other opticians:
Each frame is a whispered poem… an artisanal dialogue between soul and silhouette. It’s time to show the world how interesting you are.

Doctor Oculus: DON’T EMBARRASS ME WITH THAT WEAK HO AGAIN, ROY.
I WANT IT VIOLENT. I WANT IT DISTURBING.
I WANT A HO THAT MAKES CHILDREN DROP THEIR HOT CHOCOLATE AND QUESTION THE VERY POINT OF THEIR EXISTENCE IN THIS CRUMBLING FESTIVE HELLSCAPE.

I'm very proud today to announce that I have become a father.

This is my son and I love him.

He will call me papa and I will call him Gourdon.

When he grows up he's going to be a big sloppy mess, just like his mother who only lets me see him every other weekend and constantly bad mouths me in front of him.

When he grows up, he’s going to be a big sloppy mess, just like his mother.

She lives somewhere in Moseley now, I think. Took the Nutribullet, took my dignity, and only lets me see him every other weekend if I bring a fresh bag of pumpkin seeds.
She says she’s “finding herself.” I hope she gets lost.

You can find me and Gourdon in Digbeth, when she allows it.

Hello. My name is Little Doctor Oculus.
I'm just like regular sized Doctor Oculus but I live peacefully within the carpet fibres at the opticians.
These are my glasses. I sell them to people in Birmingham to fund my hobbies of seeing, bending plastic, and contemplating the futility of form.

The last pair are made from not actual spiderwebs by the talented
They contain two not really spiders that scuttled through the door one day and whispered “samosas" until I let them live on the specs.

Come to Digbeth. Bring your own prescription.
Book an eye test if you must.
Link’s in bio, probably.

Four insta posts to look out for later this week:
• Lots of unique new specs in stock for £140, including lots of Doc Oc UK exclusives.
• New dates for eye exams released.
• Patricia and Blue Cat are going for a photoshoot for the Animals of Zellig calendar.
• and on Saturday 1st of November, I’m going to get a giant pint from the German market.
