Hello hello! 💜
A miniature tortoise sculpture made from paper mache with a slightly textured surface, painted with acrylics with a purplish pink shell and green limbs/head. It is standing on a linen tablecloth against a black background. The same tortoise figure from a slightly different angle.

This is Gordie. He's demonstrating what is known in the business as a sweetie pie semi-sploot. It's when you haven't quite figured out how to sit yet but are so cute it doesn't matter. 12/10 (IG: rubyandgordie)

Black-cheeked Lovebirds are a small endangered parrot from Zambia. It is mainly green and has a brown head, red beak, and white eyerings. Our pair sitting on a branch together. The bird on the right has their beak open “kissing” their partner.

How to tell if your cat is interested in the novel you're writing Cat meows constantly at the study door The cat is not interested in your novel The cat watches you intently as you write The cat is not interested in your novel Cat goes to sleep on your manuscript The cat is not interested in your novel Cat repeatedly walks across your keyboard The cat is not interested in your novel Cat nests in your box of author copies The cat is not interested in your novel

The message from the stars was very long and complex, but contained instructions how to decode and parse it incrementally.

There was an image, of a very cute furry creature. And a text, which loosely translated said:

"Send cat pics please!'

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

A Curious Caution - made with cosclay, a lot of wire, and patience.

Created for Beinart Gallery's "Cabinet of Curiosities"- which is on view now!

#cosclay #sculpting #fantasyart #cabinetofcuriosities
Photograph of a sculpture against a light grey background. The sculpture is a brown-grey thorn branch twisting away from the camera, with some green leaves at the far end. In the middle the twist turns up a bit, and supports a Strawberry Bird - which is a bright red and yellow bird with green leaves at the back that is a strawberry. Some seeds in the front form a mouth with disturbingly bitey chompers.

A recent cartoon for @newscientist.com.

p.s. my new book of science cartoons, ‘Physics for Cats’ is out now. Links at www.tomgauld.com
Panel 1: A tech bro strides across a stage. The word “PeoplBOTS” is in huge letters behind him. He says: “Our journey began with a simple question:” Panel 2 “Can we create a robot that is enormously powerful, but also completely safe?” Panel 3 “The answer to that question was 'No'.” A huge red armoured metal robot trundles across the stage belching smoke. It has a flamethrower for one arm and large shears for the other. Its eyes glow meanly red. Tech bro announces “So I give you: Dangerbot900!!”
