Babies first Risograph! I’m really happy with how it turned out, MARC The Printers did a great job. If you’d like one and didn’t already get one on the Arbrevyn kickstarter, we’ll be selling them at our album launch gig in Sheffield on Sunday, and then on Bandcamp

It is swirly with a number of objects including a sun, moon, gorse, fiddle, books, bobbins, fish, a compass, a candle, a pick, a dagger, a wineglass and a swallow, around circles of the words “To welcome on the new year while the leaves are gone the pines who kept their needles keep us dancing on “

It’s 4 years since we lost my wonderful dad, and as he was and I remain a silly creature, I thought I’d share something silly that touched me. When I was a teen I bought back this King Ghidorah toy for him from a trip to San Fransisco.

Once more remembering the time many years ago an American mom emailed me to ask how her child could dress as me for Halloween. I’m still sad I can’t find the emails any more (she sent a photo of the result!) It is extra funny to me because here in the uk we only really do costumes of spooky things.

Feeling deeply weird about the Affinity announcement. Free, all in one app instead of three and they don’t train on your stuff, all good. Bringing in Canva’s Gen AI stuff ehhhhhhhh. Apparently you can hide the button and the AI is paywalled but it leaves a bad taste.

A painty illustration of 3 tiny silhouettes figures on rough ground before a colourful pre-dawn sky of purples, blues, pinks and oranges. Thin yellow circles radiate from them like sound waves or the position of the sun, and above that 4-pointed stylised stars hang on either side of the band name and title: Arbrevyn, Not Long Now till Dawn

There are 2 violinist students next door, they are pretty diligent in their practice, our walls are not thick and I work from home. Sometimes they are both practicing at once. I feel like the protagonist of a scribbly greyscale indie horror where some monster is hunting me through a boarding school.

Got a tiny palette recently and treated myself to some nice paints to put in it to give myself a low stakes place to do some art for myself. Test doodle to break in the book from last night and remind myself I don’t have to do complicated serious things here, and my bento from my lunch break today

It has a textured blue background and says “lunch” with the date in one corner.

Last night had a lot of chopping (my knife skills are ok but still mid enough that match sticking things still takes a while) but now I have a bunch more dishes for the fridge and freezer. I know I don’t HAVE to make OJ carrots into flowers but they are so cute when I do so can’t help myself.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Realised I didn’t get around to sharing this. 18th birthday commission for a friend’s child, it was lovely to get to try and capture so many little elements of their past and personality.
A cartoon image with a number of panels. The main is in full colour and features a young person with long hair and rainbow headphones, holding books and with socks on the lesbian and genderqueer flag colours, on a sky blue background with stars and happy 18th birthday written behind them. The other panels are each a different colour, labelled ALEX. One has a a toddler Alex looking through their legs, one has them blowing into a French Horn with the comment “it’s a trumpet!”. One has them in the countryside, another in a fairy costume. The last two feature Alex with their best friend, and with their cat.

Trying to add more protein and fibre to my bento so I don’t crash as hard mid afternoon and oops I bought a new slightly bigger magewappa box to help me. A new shape to play with! Plus now I gotta make nice lunches or the new box will be sad.
A round dark wooden bento box on a seagrass mat. It has 3 compartments. The largest has purple rice with edamame, marmalade chicken and peppers and a boiled egg with togarashi. One part has simmered kabocha pumpkin with ginger and a little cherry tomato, and the final has teriyaki mushrooms and broccoli florets.

Been struggling a bit lately but managed to make myself cook a good dinner and get a bit self-care cute with it once I was going, to remind myself I can have nice things. Not too fancily arranged because I just cooked all the veg with the noodles for minimum washing up & it only taking like 10mins

AI boosters get mad when I describe LLMs as "Spicy Autocomplete." Sure, it's a bit reductionist ("stochastic parrot" is more precise), but it's far worse for people to see LLMs as "ineffable superintelligence," as WSJ did by claiming ChatGPT expressed "self reflection." No, it didn't.
