Definitely, unintentionally, managed to make Ryan Gosling look less attractive but not bad for my first gouache painting that’s not just an abstract scene. First time drawing/painting a person in forever too. Should probably do something that’s not Project Hail Mary related at some point too…

So fixated with Project Hail Mary (still) that I painted a canvas to be a backdrop to my Lego set – which is just the coolest Lego set by the way. It rotates! And little Grace and Rocky are adorable.

I saw/heard Brandon Sanderson give a talk at MCM Comic Con, London, yesterday and it was worth braving the crowds and the heat. Better even than I was expecting. 🤩

I’m not really a film person but thanks to Project Hail Mary I have decided that I’m a Ryan Gosling person now. Join me on Letterboxd as I work through his filmography… or something? (I’ve watched/reviewed four so far.) boxd.it/kdT2t

Screenshot of emmaprew’s Ryan Gosling list on Letterboxd – ‘It’s 2026 and I’ve just discovered Ryan Gosling. I’ve got a lot of films to work through.’ 14% complete. (Although it’s not exactly a complete list.)

Still incredibly inspired by Project Hail Mary – I've seen the film three times now (IMAX last night!) and have re-read the book in the last few weeks. I've been channeling my inspiration into physical art. It's been fun and I love how colourful gouache paints are.

I lasted three days after seeing the Project Hail Mary film before I gave in to the urge to create fan art. Fan art specifically of best boy Rocky. This is supposed to be a movie poster but I've made it square for Bluesky.

Really enjoyed the Project Hail Mary film. Maybe even more than the book? Although I think the context of having read the book made the film more enjoyable.

Thought I was getting better at parallel parking outside my new house but tonight I deemed the space my two neighbours had left for me to not be do-able for me. In my head it was only slightly bigger than my car. In reality someone else could probably do it. Maybe future me.

Is there a word for when the main character in the book you’re reading gets betrayed by someone they thought was their ally and you’re weirdly pleased about it because you suspected them from the start (the previous book)? Also just love the anguish.

SO IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! I’ve waited over a decade for this news. Here is a little celebratory art for the Mistborn film confirmation. Vin and Kelsier are finally ready for the big screen XD (I’ll be drawing a Stormlight piece next!) #Cosmere #Mistborn

First day back at work after a week and a bit off is marginally improved by being the first day working from my new home office. I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon but, for now, it’s nice.
