It’s 4 years since we lost my wonderful dad, and as he was and I remain a silly creature, I thought I’d share something silly that touched me. When I was a teen I bought back this King Ghidorah toy for him from a trip to San Fransisco.

Once more remembering the time many years ago an American mom emailed me to ask how her child could dress as me for Halloween. I’m still sad I can’t find the emails any more (she sent a photo of the result!)
It is extra funny to me because here in the uk we only really do costumes of spooky things.

Feeling deeply weird about the Affinity announcement. Free, all in one app instead of three and they don’t train on your stuff, all good. Bringing in Canva’s Gen AI stuff ehhhhhhhh. Apparently you can hide the button and the AI is paywalled but it leaves a bad taste.

Star Trek has a long history of fandom (One of the first!) and women are such an integral part of it that I thought I would highlight some of them!

Litterally learning #affinity for my first album sleeve free of Adobe this week and I’m going to be so annoyed if this mysterious “Creative Freedom” is gonna be “we stuffed the thing you went to to get away from AI everywhere full of AI because Canva own us now”

There are 2 violinist students next door, they are pretty diligent in their practice, our walls are not thick and I work from home. Sometimes they are both practicing at once. I feel like the protagonist of a scribbly greyscale indie horror where some monster is hunting me through a boarding school.

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

The fact that they have not lifted half a buttock to assist Palestine but soared like fucking eagles to rescue this barnacled creep is all the evidence we need that the government is ruderless.
Graham Linehan has argued for years that "trans activists" are the establishment that he is fighting against, yet, when he incites violence against trans people, the whole UK establishment - the prime minister, health secretary, Met police chief and the entire Uk Press - mobilise to defend him.

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.
A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

This. I LOVE you for it if you name your budget and deadline right away and I am 1000% more inclined to collaborate with you and figure out a way to make it work within these metrics.
If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront
