It is the last day to respond to the UK government's copyright and AI consultation. www.gov.uk/government/c... Submitting this has already taken time away from drawing and the government's aims would mean sinking more time and energy into attempting to prevent AI companies from ripping off our work.

A piece I redid for International Women’s Day this year This piece was about hopefully finding a day in the future where all women can live without fear of harm or discrimination with a emphasis on ALL women. We can't just support cis women and watch as trans women are harmed over and over

I've just read a brilliant volume by volume analysis of the manga of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (www.ekostories.com/2013/06/05/nausicaa-valley-wind. It is such a fiercely empathetic, complex and honest book. I'm so grateful to have read it. Dive in if you can find the time.

Show me how you draw/paint women (aka with loads of fab hair)

This book looks absurdly good. I've never really understood why I enjoy motor racing, but here's a comic that blends that interest with 'Akira-like art'. Impossible to resist.

'Waterspout dancing' A piece from earlier in the year. Inspired by a short story by Ursula Le Guin Charcoal + digital
