Found an old blank canvas in the cellar (from my acrylic painting days) and son wanted to have a go at making something. He chose a very tricky ship from the Gradius games, but we're going slow and having a lot of fun with it!
I've been collecting Point Horror books and the sheer nostalgia I feel from looking at these covers is just the best.
Been in love with these pencils for ages. The photo doesn't really do the fluorescence justice!
Introduced my son to the Charlie Says public service videos and that has now set off a game of the most unhinged things that Charlie Says.
More bonkersness and science from me and @jessbradley.bsky.social! And just in time for the school hols. This one from Team @farshorebooks.bsky.social is OUT NOW 🧪 🧫 🧬 🦖 🧦
I've put quite possibly my favourite ever 80s film reference into an upcoming book project. It's so stupid, I love it.
Coming to a @tfnationltd.bsky.social near you this weekend! Making a Rodimus to go with them. Only one of each exists, but I have a very narrow window of time today and tomorrow to make a couple more if there is interest! Hit me up!
My son just convinced me to use a stale bagel half as a frisbee in the garden and it actually worked really well.

I totally forget about half of the Squid Bits comics I've drawn over the years so this one made me laugh when I saw it.
The internet’s blessed me by reminding me of Stéphan Gladieu’s insanely hard photos of costumes made by Young Congolese artists from all the shit we dump there I don’t want to ever see another leather jacket wearing billy idol clone in a cyberpunk setting again www.stephangladieu.fr/homo-detritus/

My son is really into paper engineering at the moment and was delighted when I gave him one of my bone folders. "I feel like a professional with this!"
I know you know this on bluesky, but I posted it on insta so I thought I should post here too. And if it makes someone second guess using AI for these things then maybe it helps.
Really been enjoying Star City. It was weird to get into after For All Mankind (cried at the end) but it's been its own thing with some great characters and performances. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Brand new for @tfnationltd.bsky.social I will have these 2 A3 prints celebrating the anniversary of Transformers: The Movie. Which side are you on? Oh, you can support both sides too... #transformers #tfnation #optimus #megatron #rodimus #galvatron
