Just a grinning skull from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. By day, a simple office worker, but by night... I'm usually pretty tired so I watch a bit of TV and then go to bed. All art 100% human produced.

Also did a thing with the sheet I used to clean my roller. Doesn't it look like a tiny little tiger? 👀
A black line drawing of a cat, looking off to the side. Blocks of ochre and black ink underneath make it look like it has tiger stripes. White paint has been used to give it whiskers and highlights.

It is National Poetry Day in the UK, so for my contribution, I humbly share one of my favourite poems of all time, written by Robert Florence,
BATMAN'S AFF HIS NUT
Batman's aff his nut 
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot 
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat 
Batterin guys
I was lit at: 
"Mate, I'm worried aboot ye 
I know your ma and da died 
But everybody's ma and da dies 
And we're no aw runnin aboot 
Hookin muggers and 
Kickin psychopaths in the baws."
And that was when Batman went 
"Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor 
that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?"
And that was when I was lit at: 
"Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae."
And that's the Secret Origin of Robin 
and everybody else.

Owls in Towels @owls-in-towels.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
1st of Owltober Four weeks after a critical head injury this Great Horned Owl showed huge signs of improvement thanks to expert care from the team at Shades of Hope Wildlife Refuge in Ontario, CA. Want to donate to SOH? www.shadesofhope.ca/donate.html Source: fb.com/121487677400... #owlsintowels 💛🦉
Draped in a vanilla towel before a wall of wood panels painted mossy sage, a Great Horned Owl stares at camera with wide yellow eyes. The owl's chest plumage is tabby-patterned and calico-toned in shades of black white and ginger. The ear-like tufts for which the species is named are raised at 11 and 1 o'clock. They're mostly black, with tan highlights along the inside track, giving the impression of Unicode character U+223 (ȣ) much like the symbol for Taurus the bull. The owl expresses a photogenic sort of anger, and like a bull, looks ready to impale any who come near.

Hee hee hee
A drawing of a witch flying on her broom in front of an big orange circle. The point of her tall hat is bent back on the wind, and the brim is pushed back. She cackles, HEEHEEHEE, while her black cat holds on for dear life on the back of the broom. A small bubbling cauldron with a foot sticking up out of it hangs off the front of the broom trailing steam. A spider dangles by its web from the tip of the broom.

Debating whether to ditch Japanese. I only started to learn to see if I could, so it's not like I *need* it. I have a shelf full of books and I've put in a ton of time, learnt quite a bit, but that's sunk-cost territory, isn't it? I could use the time to focus on art or whatever. Gah! I dunno.

Another digital scratchboard-style drawing. This one was a lot of fun to do. Instead of my usual method of starting with a fully black background, this time I drew in the black silhouette, then worked into it with black and white to create the fur texture

Went to a submarine centre, which was just a big film about submarine history, leading up to their use in WWII. An interesting story, but absolutely wall-to-wall with AI pish, animating historic photos etc. I'm sure they'd call that "bringing history to life" but it meant I couldn't trust any of it.
