I want the rustman's head on a spike. Prominently displayed. Left there to the savagery of the elements and creatures until it has been picked clean of every last tissue.

Just before midnight, Clara woke with a start. By the light of the moon, she softly tiptoed downstairs to find her wooden prince.

Then she heard a rustling & scuttling coming from upstairs. She looked up, and a thousand pairs of eyes glared back at her... mice! 2/

Fritz eyed the nutcracker enviously.
"That's a boy's toy," he said -- & he snatched it & threw it to the ground. There was a sickening CRACK.
Clara cradled the broken nutcracker, angry tears in her eyes. "Please, Dr Drosselmeyer -- can you fix him?"

New book review!
TedRechlin’s “T. REX” is a fantastic look at the tyrant lizard king. From the scientific discoveries to its pop culture legacy, this comic book comprehensively details all things Tyrannosaurus. 🦖 @rextooth.bsky.social

The first spread from The Night Before Christmas (Walker Books, 2005), the first of my Christmas books.

The right-hand side of the house exterior (top) is a flap which lifts to reveal interior scenes of the family having 'settled our brains for a long winter's nap' (bottom).

A personal favourite and another from my work for Katie Melua's 'In Winter' album, 2016. Illustration for Katie's version of Joni Mitchell's 'River.' Watercolour, ink & gouache, 305 mm square.

Incidentally, Natee (นที) means 'river' or a body of water.

I seem to be having another of my periodic episodes of Covid-induced malaise. All the symptoms of half-sickness without anything detectable.

I would like very much to not feel constantly cold and unwell. The weather itself is not even _that_ cold. I just can't get warm or comfortable.

If you need a little digital reconnection to the pulse of the living Earth, here are about 200 sandhill cranes winging south over Atlanta this afternoon. Their voices have echoed across this continent for at least 5 million years. Hopefully 5 million more

Another old ink & gouache piece from 2006, approximately 420 × 297 mm. This was made into a 3-panel concertina Christmas card.

The Coventry Carol tells the story of the Massacre of the Innocents, and its mournful, minor key lullaby makes it a favourite of mine.

Wow, there's so much going on in this one, all of it fascinating. And you still got the flowing, underwater feeling surrounding it all.

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular.
