An incredible review by Rowena! 😱 "The Chosen One Con is an entertaining thrill-ride with one hell of a body count, yet at the same time it is a compelling, brutal look at capitalism, marginalisation and the cruelty and horrors that dwell in the space between those two complicit bedfellows."

Since I was foiled by technology yesterday, I am finally here with my review for The Chosen One Con by Trudie Skies, the first in the Lost in the Aether Duology. I loved everything about this book (apart from Incendio) and there is so much I am still chewing over even after reading it more than once

spot illos for R.F. Kuang's Babel - Illustrated edition these were all made at around 4" on the longest size and printed even smaller in the book, so they had to be clear and readable at a small size, while still retaining a good amount of detail spots are really fun to conceptualize and draw!

Close up! Here's my art for THE SAINTS WE MAKE by @josiewrites.bsky.social coming soon from @neonhemlock.bsky.social ! wanted lots of textures and glowing particles and fire for this really cool book. Check it out! charcoal base drawing + digital colour

Finding out there are plans to build Britain's largest data centre in the north Devon countryside has finally spurred me on to write down all my thoughts on how generative AI is linked with environmental issues. It's a long one. You have been warned! jonstubbington.com/2026/08/18/d...

Data, Data, Every Where, Nor Any Drop to Drink - Jon Stubbington

Can we draw a line from the use of generative AI to the growth in the number of data centres and the environmental impacts they cause?

I also think that there’s something very simple Burnham could do which is empathise with the fear a lot of people are feeling - re. health concerns & immediate threats from wildfires, but also the deep unease many of us feel about summers becoming a thing to dread, and knowing far worse is to come
