If you're tired of seeing hate and bad news on social media, I recommend just following some artists. Enjoy their art, get shown more and more, and soon the rage gets replaced by creativity. Mostly.

What's your favourite salad? Mine's probably som tum (Thai green papaya salad), it's zesty and moreish. I'm also a fan of tabbouleh. The UK's ploughman's is good too but it's not really a salad, it's more of a smörgåsbord of cheese, meat, chutney/pickles and vegetables. #food

Self portrait, with my "no eyes, no ears" style. #art

Dr Russell Jones @russjoneswrites.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

yes this is very very deep and philosophical too, definitely.

Dr Russell Jones @russjoneswrites.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

maybe i'll make it my style - "oh that's a jones classic, I can tell because he purposefully removes the eyes, it's so meaningful"

Second ever attempt at drawing a human on Illustrator. I am scared of drawing eyes. And who needs ears anyway?

If you want a fun horror movie with a different spin to the usual killer, I recommend "Freaky". It's kinda Friday 13th meets Freaky Friday. #Halloween

In the UK those things are generally just eaten for dessert. For breakfast, UK folk tend to eat cereal, toast, fruit, yogurt and/or eggs (or a fry up on a less frequent or special occasions).

In lots of movies and TV shows, the family eats homemade pancakes or waffles for breakfast. Americans, is this actually a common breakfast for you?

About once a year I get a hankering for hotdogs. Today is that day. With onions cooked in butter, plus ketchup and mustard. We had no gherkins.

Rewatching season 1 of Heroes, which is very good. Except it reminded me how irritating I find Mohinder's intro words for each episode, trying to sound all deep but just pretty cheesy.

Dessert at Chez Jones: natural yogurt, shaved 80% dark chocolate, homemade blackberry sauce.

I very quickly put us all together in front of a picture of our house. Quite a bit to alter to get it looking a bit better, but generally I think my partner will really like the gift and all the work I put into it. I only started drawing and using Illustrator 12 months ago so I've a lot to learn.

Dr Russell Jones @russjoneswrites.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Final member of the family portrait is... Me! Frankly I think I look a little too uncanny l, like a slightly creepy waiter. But I'm new to drawing people and the likeness is ok considering I combined an old body with a new head while removing a dog and gun. I'm learning!
