I’m fixing old voice recorders for a project. They often come with old tapes left in, so when they shudder to life I get a tiny glimpse of a stranger’s life.
I’ve accidentally become an archivist of disembodied voices and fragments of stories.

Tell me about the weird thing that happened to you to that you’ve never been able to rationally explain. Hauntings. Premonitions. Mysteries.
Even the most level headed and skeptical people I know have a story that starts with ‘I don’t believe in that sort of thing, but…’
Pleeeease tell me yours!

You’ve gotta make bad comics before you can make anything good. But you also need to be delusional about how good they really are to keep going. Keep the fire alive.

I’m nostalgic for the satisfying clunk of these old capsule machines, so I’m working on a set of toy dispensers for grown ups. Number one - duck of wisdom

Open studios at Spode Works tomorrow - pop in and say hi if you’re in Stoke on Trent.
I’ve tidied up for you (yes this the tidy version!) and lots of my talented artist neighbours have Christmassy goodies for sale.

#Doodleish no:9 'Negative space'.

Hello doodleish folks!
Today’s prompt (number 8!) is to make a visual inventory. Show us what’s in your pencil case, your handbag, your junk drawer (everyone’s got one, right?)
Here’s the box of useful things that lives on my desk
Happy doodling!

I’m a few minutes late for doodleish today (Chris can rap my knuckles later) but here goes !
Today’s prompt is things in jars and bottles - give me a cabinet of curiosities or a kitchen cupboard, the choice is yours!

Doodleish season 2
Prompt: 5
I've always loved illustrated envelopes so I thought we could have a go. You can use an actual envelope if you like. I've drawn mine on the page. Have fun. 'Send it/them' to whoever you want... @jennispangler.bsky.social will respond as always...
