Relaxing day of gardening between storms, painting ceiling green and gold, while youngest learns to stabbing wool (this is making her unbelievably happy) and eldest learns gel nails and masters sullenness. And I have more cheese.

Meanwhile in Ōtepoti Dunedin looking back at Mossvegas as they were getting the hail deluge, we were dry & taking in their electrical storm.

This is also almost every norse myth, with Lestat swapped for Loki. Therefore Lestat is the Loki of vampires
So far every Vampire Chronicle came be summarized thusly.

Lestat: I’ve had a brilliant idea
Everyone one else: this is going to end very badly.

Got honked at rudely by bus driver, who tried to tell me I was illegally parked. I wasn’t (I’m happy to own up when I’m an arse), BUT there is no way for a bus to turn into the stop when a car is parked in the car park.
Thankfully i know just who to complain to.

First day of the grand Dunedin Christmas tour done and dusted. Many children. Many stringed instruments. Many rest homes and preschools.
I ate much cheese.

Oh my… at RNZB nutcracker - the kiwi version is sensational. I need to debrief. The Māori culture aspects are so beautifully interwoven and the kiwiana totally kitch.

I'd be very grateful if someone on Bluesky noticed my art! I'm an experienced illustrator and also a theater artist. It's difficult for me to master a new social network. I'd be very happy to meet you all! Let's be friends!🙏🏻

Grrr bad science! But my kids are well versed in the difference between venomous and poisonous, so they’re just learning not to believe everything you read - even if it’s in a book.

Can anyone suggest comics publishers in the uk that accept direct submissions? for adult/YA comics.

Why is there no “find my kindle” option?
At this rate I may have to clean the house. Hopefully not ALL the house. That’s a lot of neglect to sweep away.

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫶
