I've been cutting up bits of card as I thought colourful backing cards would be good for brooches etc at craft fair. Found I still had some Leo Going On Holiday brooches left. 😻

I've muted "AI" as a word on here because I'm so so tired of it and honestly, I don't feel anything is missing and I'm still getting my updates about all that from elsewhere anyway. But at least I don't feel there's a high pressure hose aimed at my eyeballs any more

Did a recording of a comics workshop for the British Library and now I'm covered in ink and I need to go back to bed a while. I've put on bread soup. It's that kind of time, bread goes stale and I need daytime naps

I'm amused by the way that today my job is to have a bright idea for a comic, and my main household chore is to buy a lightbulb. I'll start with the second and then see what happens when I screw it in above my head

The colder autumn nights in Germany coaxes this magnificent eagle, Oropherion, to spend his nights in his heated indoor winter aviary. This is an African Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus), the largest eagle species native to Africa. (Cr @birdsofprey_nathalie_denolf) #birds #eagle

I just remembered that I have a vintage pudding mould in the shape of a lion at rest and that I never succeeded in finding a blancmange formula strong enough to hold that shape. It was such an absolute priority of research at the time, how did I forget all those years

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

I sometimes think about a guy I once witnessed holding back another guy he didn't know from kissing a girl he was hitting on, what he got in the moment was massive aggression and the girl trying to laugh it off but when the creep had left several strangers said "thanks mate" from all around.

Off to London I go for a day's teaching. I'm taking an old interactive installation in a tote bag, in pieces. Always good to have a messy but functional thing to show to set expectations.

I just re-opened my shop to sell some signed books... and original art. Scrappy cats, painted by hand, for you, go get one! I will add all of the ones in this picture today and then see if I can paint a few more... (I am raising some money to aircon my flat here.) vivschwarz.bigcartel.com

First time I had a burnout I couldn't find anyone to tell me what was going on with all the weird symptoms, these days I can just text a friend and we compare, it's both reassuring and frustrating that there's never fewer than two of us knocked down at a time these days
