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

This was the choice. Tropical hoppy thing, music based name, gorgeous can (got cool texture and spot UV stuff going on). He’d be into it.
Can of Siren “playlist” hazy IPA. The can is black, pink, blue and yellow with very print texture/zine vibes

Still miss you, Dad. Gonna go look for a nice beer to raise to you in a bit. Wish you could be here to hear it, but keeping singing anyway.

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.

Hello lovely people! To celebrate spooky day, Arbrevyn have released a terrifying* first single from our album ahead of its launch on the 16th Nov. Get those dancing skeletons ready cause it’s time for some JIGS arbrevyn.bandcamp.com/track/bounci... *if you are scared of cute bouncy folk tunes

The finishing touches are going on the Arbrevyn album, so time for a preorder link and a sneaky cover reveal! ✨ arbrevyn.bandcamp.com/album/not-lo... Thank you so much everyone who has helped us get here. I can’t wait to share this music with you
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

Thanks! This was a replacement they sent me for one that warped and so I sealed the wells on this one with nail polish and treated myself to some tiny tubes of better quality paint than the ones that came with it. Never used professional quality watercolour before and I’m loving how well it layers!
A tiny 8 well palette with 8 5ml tubes of winsor and newton paint around it like sun rays. Clockwise they are winsor lemon, winsor blue green hue, permanent rose, winsor violet, burnt sienna, winsor red, winsor blue red hue and Indian yellow deep.

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

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.

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

Watching the @drawfeeshow.com gang talk about realising that I am a fan (of course I am they’re great) and @atnathanyaffe.bsky.social pointing out that I could be watching at any time was delightfully surreal & really tickled me so I had to draw this last night when I should have been going to bed
A four panel sketch comic in shades of blue. Panel one has Karina going “uwa uwa”, and Jacob watching while Nathan draws and says “and now it’s like… at any moment, she could be watching”

Panel 2 the hosts are silhouettes with Karina saying “my president!” and Jacob saying “Yeah so we gotta watch what we fucking say!” with an out of focus shot of Karina’s couch with Yuugi, Sonny and an Apollo Justice cushion… and something sticking up from behind the back cushions

Panel 3 focused the background and an ominous staring figure with long hair and a headscarf is emerging from behind the couch (it is me)

Panel 4, the figure emerges more, still staring but giving a thumbs up with a little sparkle.

Bentoposting time again! Cause I’m still crawling out of a bit of a hole on selfcare, I bought myself pre-cooked chicken and then made batches of 3 very easy but tasty side dishes last night.
A 2 part black bento box on a woven mat. The small side has rice mixed with quinoa, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and gochujang carrot salad, decorated with small basil leaves and tiny nori stars. The larger side has seasoned cooked chicken, pickled cucumber and mushrooms with garlic and black pepper, with a tiny red tomato.

Hey @dilfosaur.bsky.social, to say thankyou for being so kind on the latest @drawfeeshow.com ep I thought, why not loop it around even more and did some earnest fanart of some of Mini Karina’s little guys :) Tried to pull from all the moonpaw designs, I hope you like it!

Art rehab doodles of some of the stuff in my workouts at the moment. I am but a potato but it’s nice to be trying strength stuff again.
A set of three loose cartoons of a round girl in tshirt and leggings doing some poses. One is a glute bridge with a cat looking on in confusion. One is a one leg down dog, wobbly and complaining “I’ve been here 25 years” and a correction it’s actually been 20 seconds. The third has her doing a squat with her heels on the ground and then raising up on your balls of her feet and looking panicked, thinking “Don’t fall over don’t fall over aaaaa”

Realised I’ve not been using my 2 layer box for a while and it’s very good for putting in my little backpack if I wanna walk before lunch. I’ve been low energy this week so bought some cooked salmon to kickstart my stash of dishes until I can cook some proteins. The kinpira is so good though.

Today’s bento has more of those smoky miso beans, with some green bean goma-ae. I didn’t think I’d be able to find anything interesting looking to do with today’s (I’m trying not to post boxes that are toooo similar in a row) but I like how the spring onions ended up looking
