Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Spent the day drawing cats. Delightful cats and their ability to squidge themselves into glass fishbowls and look chuffed about it. ♥️ sometimes it’s a good day.

Roses are red
And can be other colours too
Colour is actually our brains trying to impose a sense of order on the bombardment of chaos that is our perception of a random, uncaring universe
As is love, if we're honest
And don't get me started on poetry

Froglets! I had so much fun with the colours while working on this cover for the current issue of Nature Reviews Cancer. Any excuse to draw frogs. They’re so good.

Little details from a very pleasing cover about sirens I’m working on. Now if I could just spend another 3 days noodling around with it… Shame it’s a super short deadline.

I made a long, long comic about AI and my toddler. It's a repudiation of techno-solipsism and it’s in The New Yorker.

Little throwback to when I used to draw on plates. The shop I got the blank plates from stopped making them and I haven’t found ones I like as much since. Boo!(Incidentally this is the face I pull whenever someone makes me a cup of tea).
