My sister bought me some Royal commemorative tat 🤩

A mug with an unflattering picture of Prince Andrew being arrested. Prince Andrew has red eyes and slightly vampire features.

"Prince Andrew arrest 19.02.26" text on mug.

Requesting your library acquire copies of a book is one of the best ways to uplift the authors you love.

Good morning.

Art in two panels. First panel a wood sprite/woodwose holding a staff. An apple in the foreground central in the panel. The right panel is a decorative border with twisted branches, flowers, buttons, lighting and a moon.

This weekend I have been trying to sew external blinds that work on casement windows and that also require no changes to the windows (renting joy!). I have made one successful one, now for four more larger ones....

Just completed the interior illustrations for Woodwosing by @taliskimberley.bsky.social , so release some time in July (after I pester @comicprintinguk.bsky.social again.)

Cover for Woodwosing by Talis Kimberley, illustrated by me with a foreword by David Southwell. Artwork is in two panels. Larger right hand panel shows a woodsprite sort of creature with a staff over their shoulder and an apple in the foreground. Right hand panel is a decorative border of branches, flowers, buttons and a moon.

A heatwave cartoon for @newscientist.com

1. Title: The North Wind and the Sun quarrelled as to who was the stronger.

2. The Sun says: "I propose a wager: See yonder traveller, let us see who can make him remove his cloak."

3. The northwind blows on the traveller, the sun says: "You blow yet he only wraps it tighter!"

4. The sun shines on the traveller, saying: Observe! . The traveller mutters "nice and warm"

5. The Sun says "See, my kindness brought results!" The traveller has removed hos cloak and begins to sweat. "Fair enough, you win." concedes the North Wind.

6. "Tremble before my gracious heat!" says the sun, smiling bradly. His heat has started a fire. the traveller flees. The North Wind says "I think that’s enough."

7. "Let the world burn with my cleansing benevolence!!" blazes the sun madly, now grown huge in the sky. The land is a burning fireball. "Now you’re scaring me!" says the North Wind anxiously.

So many articles talking about "ballooning welfare" and going on about how many young people are on PIP make me want to bite concrete because like, Sorry, did you all forget the MASS DISABLING EVENT we had? Remember? The pandemic? That thing?

Sometimes studying environmental science involves complex checmical reactions and physics. Sometimes it involves reading the work of a seemingly furious scientist as they attempt to hit you over the head with the fact that Yes We Are Part Of Nature Actually No Really We Are Here Are Citations

The heated rivalry between the two students finally came to a head, and the swordmaster reluctantly agreed to let them duel, to first blood. It did not end as expected. "Next time," the swordmaster said at last, "I want you to wipe your swords and sheathe them before you start kissing."

#Zorrlob A tribute to Zorrlob - a disinterested deity

A high contrast black and white photograph of three ornamental metal mushrooms in a playground setting. A fourth mushroom is obviously missing - symbolising the absence of the god Zorrlob.

The ineffable absence of Zorrlob

You can worship Zorrlob if you wish
Or just deny that Zorrlob is there.
There's just one Zorrlobian holy writ
and that is
Zorrlob does not care.

Other Gods may tell you plain
Stop doing that, stop having fun.
Sacrifice your goat, or sheep,
or better still, your favourite son.

Zorrlob makes no such demands.
Zorrlob pays no heed to what you do.
If you are desperate or in need
Zorrlob will not do a thing for you.

Devotees do not build a shrine
but look instead for absent things.
A gap in a hedge,
or an unfilled hole,
reveal the void that Zorrlob brings.

Some will ask what is the point
of a God who does not make things right?
To which all Zorrlobians will answer
quite...

Had a dream last night in which lots of people were standing around in a vaguely Greek-ish temple, complete with mist and low-lying cloud. Everyone seemed to be slowly going between two desks, where they would pick up clock in cards and then get them punched in
