Book all but done with a title change! Two 'special' internal pages to finish which I saved as a treat, and the cover is currently underway. It'll go to Kickstarter early Autumn, and I'll set up a pre-launch soon. This is one of the early pages - I will show more eventually - there's 120 of 'em!

A text free, three panel page from a graphic novel in black and white. It features an old car being driven to a North Devon destination in winter. The driver is a woman in a cloche hat and scarf.

"...and under them the ice darkened and began to glide. A channel opened very slowly in the floor, and all their luggage floated out in the river of moonlight. All the suitcases were open and full of darkness and moss, and none of them ever came back."

'Peter, (A Young English Girl)' 1923/4 by Romaine Brooks. 'Peter' is 'Gluck' ('Hannah' Gluckstein). BBC IPlayer currently have a fascinating documentary about Gluck at the mo, but only for a couple more weeks.

Further, there is nothing AI can do for me. Nothing I *want* it to do for me. Even if it wasn't an inept plagiarism machine, I like writing, editing, rewriting, planning, researching, all of it. I want to do all of it. I want humans to handle the stuff beyond my capacity.

Just back from Dubrovnik, and a few days away for my partner’s birthday. Lots of cats of the grumpy variety. On return we discover our local councillor is now Green, which is nice!

Only a few days left for the Orlando Kickstarter! It ends on Friday! I’ll be posting about little bit about Orlando behind the scenes stuff in the run-up. One of the rewards I’m currently making for it is a little zine of references and Easter eggs, which is really nerdy but also really fun to make.

Collage zine cover in purples and reds with an illustrated image of Orlando in the middle. The title says in cut-out style letters: ORLANDO - A Companion Zine - References and Inspirations and at the bottom "by Jules Scheele". The collage is a mixture of old paintings, a sculpture from Knole House, a picture of Vita Sackville-West, a picture of Quentin Crisp, a still from the movie Freak Orlando, and a picture of Sylvia Rivera.

‘The April Witch’ - Ray Bradbury. I first read this in ‘The Golden Apples of the Sun’, (1952/3), and the story was later revised as part of ‘From the Dust Returned’ (2001) which has a cover by Charles Addams. But as April wanes I wanted to post this delightful prose.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

Olden art from the spaces in-between. Drawn for an event in Portland many moons passed. My character Rosie Poe meets Mr Crowley and Mr Lovecraft. A clash of world views, maybe. I don't think it was ever very funny, but I quite liked it. Lettered by Nate Piekos, the one and only Blambot.

A three panel comic strip featuring Aleister Crowley and H P Lovecraft discussing their personal worldviews (maybe) and the importance of MAN whilst in the background the 'maid' (Rosie Poe) dusts and cleans. They finally notice her only to demand "more wine". She smiles and raises a bottle of poison...
