Fursuited for the first time 14 years ago today. First 2 photos from that day. He arrived a few hours before the Birmingham meet and at that time we couldn't suit inside the venue so my first fursuiting was out on the streets. Thankyou @madebymercury.bsky.social for making him!

Heading to Reading on the bus for the BerkshireFurs party, and realising that feeling I'd forgotten something when leaving the house yesterday was correct. No conbadges.

"Is it ready?" "I don't think..." "Did I hear it's ready??" "... let me check..." Mustelids are not the most patient creatures on earth. -- I feel like using traditional media again lately. I guess I needed a change.

Going through my videos of the Ravens to help with writing my book and I came across this one from last winter. Of all the Ravens vocalisations, this is the strangest! You almost can’t imagine it coming out of a bird! No idea what it means 😁

Another more-than-double timed iPad piece for @peregrinefeathers.bsky.social this time, of his adorable peregrine fellow holding his real life sun conure in a fond moment. Super duper fun, I went absolutely overboard timewise but extremely happy with the turnout.

Just a friendly reminder, you don't need...that shitty wizard series...for references for wizards. If you wanna draw a wizard or magician fight, look up irl photos of music conductors. You're welcome.

20 years ago today I left North Lincolnshire to move to Coventry so I commissioned @smidgenofpigeon.com to mark the anniversary with art based on one of the best landmarks in the city: the 1950s clock showing the legend of Lady Godiva and Peeping Tom every hour

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.
