There comes a day when the sandwich lady asks ‘what can I get you, handsome?’, and it’s unclear whether she’s just being jovial or actually flirting, because you’re the same damn age.

It doesn’t happen near as often as I’d like, but being paid to draw comics is still the best feeling there is.

Wild riding to the shop today through clusters of the anti immigrant march. I can only imagine how it would feel if I was the wrong kind of immigrant.

A strange thing to claim to be defending Australian culture, when every period of the country’s history has been defined by stories of immigration.

Oh god, there’s already people making their identity out of being too cool to like Alien Earth.

That band isn’t punk! You can’t identify as this sexuality if you’re that gender! That’s not real sci-fi!

Everything’s made up you wretched dingbats. Do what you want.

Of all the creative fields I’ve dived into, nothing yet really beats being curled up in a duvet drawing comics like a dork.

As if I wasn’t already enjoying Alien: Earth, they pull a Tool track out of nowhere! Yeah, this is an annoyingly good show. Annoying because I have to wait a week between episodes. Also because it’s somehow both cheesy and smart, which really shouldn’t work, but does.

South Africans will say ‘Respectfully…’ before insulting you to your core, and reading you for filth.

Occasionally I’ll take on some private commissions, and one of my favourites is rpg characters. Here’s some I did for a crew playing Delta Green, which I understand to be a modern take on Call of Cthulhu. Really enjoyed doing this classic adventure comic style.

I had such a good time drawing and tattooing this punk rock Australian cockatoo. Custom pieces like this are so welcome!

The bar may be low, but sometimes you just know you’d be a better boyfriend than Johnny Depp, even when you’re not a boy. Had a blast doing this tattoo

The danger of listening to adhd ‘influencers’ online, as opposed to doctors, is 90% of their hacks, are leaning into the parts of adhd that can make the experience miserable, and lead to burning out. For instance! Once you understand that your brain struggles to make the chemicals that initiate action, and that it’s learned that things like urgency, stress and shame produce good substitutes, you have to go through the grief of having to see that you have been engineering the crisis and conflict in your life to keep you functional, aware or not. There are good sources of these chemicals too, like joy, novelty and exercise, but they are much much harder to initiate without help and support from other people, and without being medicated. So when some butthead online says, ‘tell your friend to come over, and then the panic about your dirty house will make you clean it all in an hour’, they are encouraging you to do the masking that will burn you out by the time you’re 30. I built a career on being good at desperate last minute projects that were on fire, and then constantly trashed that same good reputation by being terrible when given reasonable kind timelines with no pressure. If chronic procrastination, shame about failure or the opinion of others, and impossible standards are what you think is normal for creative people, and how you’ve been powering through life, please go for an assessment. People have hurt me throughout my life, but I now, age goddamn 42, have to face that I sought them out because I didnt know how to function without it, and didnt know there was help. Ignore the internet. Talk to a professional, not some goober chasing views and validation.

I’ve never been all that fond of the term saffa, but now that I’ve learned about seppo, I’m just fine with that. Australian slang doesn’t mess about.

Really wish the BBC would realise that they can cast a woman as Doctor Who, who isn’t blonde and conventionally pretty. If you can cast Capaldi, you can cast an older woman with some goddamn gravitas. Like Olivia Colman. Or finally give Jo Martin a proper run at the role.
