Fray Bentos should do a Christmas TV ad for their tinned festive pies. “Fray Bentos Presents - A Crustmas Carol” Yes, I am available. Hmu.

Yup.

Amazing find at the local college summer fair! An 80s Weetabix badge. £1 well spent.

Oh sweet mother of Mario yes!

Recruiters. We have to stop this obsession with specific experience. I can assure you that an artworker does not care about the content, only the format.

1996 was an absolute banger of a year for new music so this was an almost impossible choice. Just know that if I had one more slit I’d put Spice Girls in there for sure.

It’s genuinely so sad to see a company that banged on relentlessly about being disruptive + changing the industry from the front hire someone making the same generic shit that every dude on every substack / corner of Reddit is making in their spare time. Creativity isn’t an app.

Does anyone know if the Lily Allen mobile club is still going? Apparently you need WAP which sounds so wrong in a post Cardi-B world.

Mapping out possible outcomes for when the luxury lions shortlist drops tomorrow…

YES BRUV! Woke up to the news I won a bronze cube at the One Club for Creativity’s ADC awards in New York last night. Big love to everyone that worked with me on this crazy cool project.

Fuck yes. I am ready. Bring those cameos on.

This is actually a great feature. I hope Apple Music adapts it. It’s easy to mess up a perfect algorithm as any parent whose kids listen to music on their accounts will tell you.

Some say you never truly know when you’ve made it. To them I say…

Totes not jealous of everyone’s Clio wins at all. Promise.

Noice! My Harrods takeover for The Macallan TIME:SPACE Collection smashed its way to the finals of the ADC awards. Results in a few weeks 🤞

I’m late to this but just discovered Google have discontinued the incredible Nest Protect smart smoke alarms. This is a bad move, I’ve used protects for years and they are wayyyyy better than the competition.

I say this as a middle-aged dad who works a lot of hours and goes to the cinema alone sometimes. There’s no greater bond than catching the eye of another middle-aged dad who works a lot of hours and goes to the cinema alone sometimes.

I let my eldest play Breath of the Wild this weekend for the first time. The look on his face when I helped him with a guardian and destroyed it with a pot lid shield parry. Hopefully a few more years when I can wow him before he becomes better than me at literally everything.

UK Freelancers: Can someone kindly explain the absolute bullshit requirement to use an umbrella company when booking through recruiters if you’re already set up as a limited company?

I finished reading The Worst Witch series to my kids last night. I do love rediscovering books of my childhood through them. Sad when I realised we will never get to see Mildred as head girl in her final year as Jill Murphy died before writing the last book.

Took a combination of 16 dads and kids to see the Minecraft movie then get Minecraft McDonalds. It was mayhem but everyone loved it. Not sure what all the hate is about 🪨 ⛏️

Anybody who knows me knows this was inevitable.

If you see this, QRP with your animal art! Some of my faves from my last film. A spiky peacock coloured with whisky tones, surrounded by hedgehogs. (And not a drop of AI just to be clear)

Yeah ok that’s pretty cool 🥰

Ordered McDonalds for the kids today and got sent the Minecraft Happy Meal toys a week early! First time I’ve seen a collectible plastic toy in the UK meals in years.

Conspiracy theory / dark patterns time! I have a hunch that Deliveroo tell you your driver has another drop on the way regardless of if they really have or not in order to push you into the £2.40+ priority delivery fee next time. Pick up to delivery seems to be the same amount of time regardless.

Well played Nintendo. Well played. I shall, of course, continue to buy games on release and not play them for months / years.

It might say Lando Calrissian to you. But to me this was the chance to buy a Childish Gambino action figure for a quid.

I’m not sure it’s legal to work in advertising and say this but I’m finally watching Mad Men and it’s not as great as I was led to believe - part way through season 5 and looking forward to it being over. Apart from the lawnmower scene, that made me snort. Am I the only one who wasn’t enamoured?

For a quid it would be rude not to.

Im so ready for a #TheOffice Ryan spin off. He’s 40+ relying on his boyish charm which is fading by the second and still trying to make it big. His whole life is a lie and he’s the only one that doesn’t know it. Paging @bjnovak.bsky.social this would be amazing!

I'm a Riggs I'm a Glover I'm a Getz I'm a Murtaugh I'm Joe Pesci I'm Jet Li I'm Lethal Weapon 3

Pretty good start to the year! Great to see our campaign featured as The Macallan won "Best Luxury Launch of the Year" at the Luxuo Asia Awards 2024 for TIME:SPACE Mastery 🎉

Yes I know Xmas is over but I just found out this existed. How is this not “D’oh Come All Ye Faithlful”? It was right there!

At least 89 people sat at home and thought “you know what, I’d like to order mediocre snacks at the highest possible price and have them delivered to my sofa” Now if this came with a free movie rental code it would make sense.

To round out a wonderful #comicschristmas with @zackdavisson.com here’s Slimer to wish you all a Happy New Year! Really enjoyed seeing everyone’s comics ❤️

Just weighing up my New Year’s resolutions.

Locking eyes with his beloved, Douglas plays one final somber note on his trombone as he steps onto the steaming hot crumpet. The pain comes as sweet relief. Society won’t accept them, but they can’t stop him. He will live forever in her (or at least a couple of days depending on hydration levels).

Fuck it. I’m gonna cook another Christmas dinner today.

Oooohhhhh awesome prezzie from my brother and sister in law.

One more #comicschristmas for today. This is 1990’s ‘Michaelangelo Christmas Special’ one shot from Mirage Studios.

Continuing the #comicschristmas love with this 1987 Thundercats Christmas special. A looser seasonal theme on the cover but a snowy Xmas scene nonetheless.

1986-8 were absolutely amazing years for toy pop culture in the UK and this #comicschristmas edition of The Real Ghostbusters was always on my radar.

Another #comicschristmas for today and a selection of late 80s Transformers comics from the UK

Due to work commitments I’ve been a bit rubbish at posting a comic each day for #comicschristmas with @zackdavisson.com so I’ll be posting some bonus pics today to make up for it. This time we have a full set of 80s MASK Christmas covers including the rarer Eagle and Mask crossover comic.

A reminder that MF DOOM has a Christmas album. Sort of. Cookin Soul beats with a mix of old DOOM accapellas and his Adult Swim Xmas idents. One of my faves. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwzB...

Hmmmm. For these end of year gimmicks to be fun they have to work. I’m pretty sure I’ve played more than 11 hours of Switch this year considering I’ve sunk 60hrs into Tears of the Kingdom alone.
