Once you start noticing modern rubber soles on so called period footwear, it's over.

It's so good! Incredible to be able to wrangle something so chaotic into something vaguely understandable! A very recognisable, cute little @ivograham.bsky.social too! @alexhorne.bsky.social @watsoncomedian.bsky.social @haiminh.bsky.social

Still doing NMJ comics for Drawtober, if you can believe it! Slow going because it's 100 degrees outside and my tablet is far too warm, and Key's face is still impossible to draw after all this time, but at least we're learning important biological facts!

A 'comic book' page done in black linework and Ben-Day dots with yellow accents. It portrays a moment from the No More Jockeys second live game, at approximately 5:00, in which Horne and Key argue about whether spiders have either hearts or lungs. (There is a diagram showing that they do, apparently, although I'm not convinced Key knew this when he was arguing that they do.) While the argument is going on, Watson composes the now-famous "Does a spider have a heart" song. Key says that all of their viewers will talk to each other and move on to another show because the argument is so stupid, Watto suggests Ivo Graham, so we leave on Ivo singing the spider song in a jaunty goose shirt. Possibly worth noting that Horne is dressed as Hulk Hogan, and Key has a mohawk wig sort of thing and what I can only assume are fingerless job gloves for reasons that are not given.

That's lovely. And yes - doing baffling tasks to impress a giant overlord does seem to help me a lot. Or at least laughing about others trying to. 💖

There's a tiny little cafe in Shepherd's Bush Market called Sweet Caroline (dun dun dun - sorry for the earworm) and it does the most incredible hot chocolate. So good I sneaked a peek at the chocolate they use and bought it for home use. I still go there every time I'm near. Great toasties too.

A little drawing to celebrate @alexhorne.bsky.social's birthday. Thanks for all the laughter, whimsy, and nonsense over the years, I hope you get plenty of each today!

A digital drawing in a sketchy style of Alex Horne making a silly face in front of a blue background. Delightfully silly little gremlin experiencing the passage of time.

This is an INTERESTING maths problem and I started to look into learning to solve it, but the tutorial I was reading mentioned the tribonacci sequence (NOT the Fibonacci sequence) and I started to feel the edges of reality peeling away. INTERESTING!

I was gobsmacked how few likes that game had, but turns out I was tricked by time and the passage of it. How appropriate. And happy birthday to the man who starts.

I'm in Edinburgh performing in a show! It's called SLIM FOR LIFE and it's a totally legit and not at all satanic, story about a woman attending a slimming group. Yep. That's why they need me; a Narrator with "a nicely sinister and ominous tone" (williamstafford, Bum on a Seat ⭐⭐⭐⭐). Come watch it!

Photo of a grinning woman gesturing to a poster for Slim For Life on a wall of posters. She really is beaming, wearing a gold and red military jacket. I mean, just so happy. #fringe #edinburghfringe #comedy #edinburgh #theSpace

I'm interested in it as a puzzle in itself - what must (or could) be true given these truths? What knock-on effects to architecture, culture, fashion, travel, communication, and everything will domino out of that. How can I create a world you* can find joy in discovering too? Designer-WB? Kinda.

Thinking about #worldbuilding and how different disciplines approach it from different angles. Artist-WB: In it for the aesthetics. What striking images can we push towards? Writer-WB: What conflicts are created? What human-scale strangenesses exist? J R R Tolkien: Just here for languages.

Apparently in the yarn/knitting communities, there's a known division between 'product knitters' and 'process knitters'. Product knitters just want to have the finished item to wear, gift, sell, or show. Process knitters don't really care about the finished item - they just like to make it.

Over the last week, I played translation-based videogame 'The Message from Deep Space' and it was BRILLIANT. My partner and I played it from the sofa, discussing meaning, nuance, the implication of words, belief, abstraction, and grammar. I cried at the end. store.steampowered.com/app/4080030/...
