Another new novel cover! When EV Wallace, a Scottish writer, reached out to me, her design brief was chock full of so many of my favourite things to draw. Art deco? 1920s? Ancient Egypt? Yes please.

One of the first and most powerful of the international unions, the Biscuit Makers (est. 1904) was at the forefront of struggles for dignity and justice in the lives of working cats. Its message resonates through the many worlds: "The kneads of the people come first!"

I have been BUSY with book commissions. This is for a recent ww2 era horror/sci-fi/psychological thriller that explores trauma and memory. Instead of opting for a cliche war movie poster, I did something a little more unsettling and symbolic.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke says “good system.” In response to the following proposal:

“Interesting... what about weighted voting proportional to the level of income tax you pay? (no income tax paid - O vote, $1-100k - 1 vote, $100-200k 2 votes and so on... cap it at 5 votes for $500k+. For those that constantly complain about the wealthy not paying tax/fair share they'd have nothing to worry about right? Why not reward representation of taxation and build a democracy around those that foot the bill?”

The emphasis on how autistic kids will "never pay taxes, never hold a job" (which is bullshit) gives the game away. He's a eugenicist who wants you to believe that people with autism can't be productive members of society and are therefore surplus to requirements.

Penn Jillette, September 1994

Most of the way down to Atlantic City, we talk about interactive entertainment. Penn says it'll never work. Entertainment movies, theater, music, art - boils down to the performer, not the audience, being in control.

"Technology adds nothing to art," he says. "Two thousand years ago, I could tell you a story, and at any point during the story I could stop, and ask, Now, do you want the hero to be kidnapped, or not?" But that would, of course, have ruined the story. Part of the experience of being entertained is sitting back and plugging into someone else's vision.

"The fact of the matter is, since the beginning of time, you could buy a Picasso and change the colors. That's trivial. But you don't because you're buying a piece of Picasso's fucking soul. That's the definition of art: "Art is one person's ego trip."

Penn says he and Teller "have been offered a huge amount of money and a huge amount of technology to do interactive shit. We have turned them down. Not that the technology wasn't up to snuff, but because we don't have any ideas."

"The whole fucking world is pretending the breakthrough is in technology," he says, as we whiz by the Blade Runner-like landscape of New Jersey oil refineries. "The bottleneck is really in art."

Cover of UP THE DUFF. it's a drawing of me holding my sweet baby immediately after giving birth. She is perfect. Meanwhile, I am in a sports bra with leaky milk stains and an adult diaper, which my stretch marks are spilling out of. My arms are bruised and taped up from the IVs, and I'm still wearing my hospital bracelet. My eyes have dark, dark circles, and are looking in slightly opposite directions from sleep deprivation.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Nah! No Nip Today, digital illustration, 2026. Finished this one today. Should be in shop soon and also available as a YCH (your cat here) commission.

A propaganda poster featuring cats. This poster is based on a well-known soviet anti-alcohol poster. A cat in a suit is eating a fish dinner. They are offered a glass of nip spirits from an arm reaching into the frame in front of the figure. The eating cat holds up a paw in a gesture of refusing the drink. Large text says "Nah!" smaller text at bottom reads "No nip today - freinds and comrades need me."
