I might still hit the deadline for this book. It features a raven with a camera. I got ten more days for 23 pictures and only a few of them are crowd scenes and I only got one other book to edit at the same time and I guess a few videos and

Thinking about how my parents worried that I might date and marry scruffy guys with media collections and let's face it I functionally AM a scruffy guy with a media collection and I won't even bring them a tidy wife, only more guys. It's all groovy though and my dad just got a new stereo

Ah, that might take you just to the excerpt. You can click right to view the full piece, screenshot below.

Reminder that I made a picture book about making art - painting, music, drawing, dancing, actually making art YOURSELF www.walker.co.uk/978152951577...

Wow, I missed that our book 'One Day' has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for Illustration because of Benjamin Phillips's wonderful artwork. @CarnegieMedals @benjamindraws

Found a nursing chair at the tip. Now rebranded the Fidgeting Chair at my table. Needs paint stripping and cushions... It'll be good

Brah...what even is this?

I really shouldn't share bad ai, but the fact that they're pretending to have animated it all by hand is extraordinary. Anyone who has done digital animation will be flabbergasted at the audacity.

Unexpectedly found a printout of my favourite picture of myself, back when I was good at cutting my own hair but permanently tired out from panic attacks. I stuck it on the blackboard that I just screwed to the door here. Successful day

Spent the morning swearing at three mobile phones and a laptop, recovering and transferring data. Now a little nap before the afternoon of swearing at furniture while turning a horrible chest of drawers into a good dresser and shelves. Clearly a Saturday

Got a new (old) tape deck and it's perfect. Spent the evening listening to tapes, some of them sounded sub aquatic with age. Very happy. (Also yes my turntable is sitting on a slice of tennis ball, lost a foot somehow.)

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...

Have joined my fellow fatigued fellows in living in Lucy & Yak dungarees, perfect for naps/bursts of activity I now agree

i have questions as to why due diligence didn’t happen when school admins signed these massive contracts, endangering their students

The women who actually use Kenwood Ladies Pond spoke clearly: the 900 members democratically voted to maintain their trans+ inclusive policy, in place since 2019. 🏊‍♀️ notinourname.org.uk/nion-women-r... #TransInclusion #KenwoodLadiesPond #TransRightsAreHumanRights @nionwomen.bsky.social

did you know the Mountain Goats have a new album out today and you can buy it or stream it and dance to it in your living room or while driving or on the subway and it's a whole vibe? well now you know that 30tgrs.ffm.to/ttfafpb

It's funny how some live events have 12 kids and some are 24000 kids watching and it's functionally the same job.. Today was a big one and I'm having a nap now. Lovely event with British Library, Katie & Kevan Tsang and Ben Shires (who is by now very good at putting up with my unscripted chaos).

Even though I love drawing, sometimes the thought of it stresses me right out. It's mostly because as a ("weird, disruptive") school kid drawing was my only way to gain respect for a minute, but getting that attention felt like people wished they could purge the rest of me.

Good pens

Lovely Assistant

Thinking about all the years of accessibility innovation having to masquerade as cool toys for tech bros to get funding. Wondering what a world would be like in which that was never seen as the way to go. Imagine a world where disability is recognised as normal.

Hello there! For my first post on this here social network, here's a new thing I've been working on, a live sampler where you scrub through the sound by pulling a string. It has a filter!

Hey thank you Irish PLR, thanks people who use public libraries, I got paid out enough this year to buy a second hand amp for my stereo. Love you all. You really like "Counting with Tiny Cat", do you

Also a good time to check ALL of your Bluesky moderation settings A couple of them were put into "Hide" without my action

Going to prep some "here's one I made earlier" stuff for a virtual school visit event today. Might share pictures. It's to encourage kids to make their own fantasy books by collaging and drawing and writing a big old scrappy zine basically. Or a neat one! Some kids are neat. That'd valid

I've heard from some primary school teachers that they're printing their own zines so that the kids have a distraction free object to work through, like worksheets but with pages, and I'm loving it.

Teen Vogue was one of the only outlets that took young people seriously as political actors and covered how they're organizing, voting, and being impacted by state + national legislation. It was a launching pad for so many great young journalists

I know I'm supposed to be annoyed that next door is a student house now but they do their band practise every evening which is laudable and they learned a third chord already and I'm kind of proud of them. Also they aren't going to complain about MY weird music so we all win

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

Much later, the girl will be seized with baseless terror of a house that breeds chairs.

Today I was working on a drawing and an AI chatbot popped up across a quarter if the screen. I just batted it away like a fly and kept drawing. Only realised later that I don't even know what part of my studio setup was trying to chat to me. Bots just pop up and I don't even look at them any more

Cancelled my Adobe subscription. Now I've got the rest of the year to switch over to whatever alternatives I'll go for. Krita is good, I'll have a look at the new Affinity, too.

It's my annual hiding-out-evening and this time I have oat biscuits and brunost cheese. Feeling very well prepared. Lifelong aversion to fireworks, this

The finishing line is very much in sight for getting my first chapter book ready to publish. What a job this is, and everyone who's working on it seems so delighted with it, it's exhausting and wonderful.

Absolutely struck down by fatigue. Hooray for co-op doing an offer on curry, that's exactly all I had the energy to deal with.

Well done NY, happy for y'all

Turns out I really needed a hobby to calm my nerves. Didn't expect that would turn out to assemble an 80s hifi stereo so I can remix playlists from charity shop tapes but yeah I'll take it

Happy about everyone enabling me in my quest to find old mixtapes and make new ones. I'm digging around in files and tapes... It's so wonderful to encounter those carefully curated things again.

T-shirt designs that work well with dungarees are good

It's always funny at the repair café when people try to get their head around that I rebind books and help people revive old computers but I'm a professional children's book author/artist. "How does that fit together?" Very well. I love books and community projects and I don't have much money y'all

I spent the day turning an old mobile into a respectable music player running a minimal OS. I'll stick it on the wall above the stereo because I'm fed up with streaming my own music files when I could just... Play them?

This was written in 2017. The current political moment was completely avoidable. ”the pain of looking back and seeing that there was a small window in which it was possible to act, and then discovering how suddenly and irrevocably that window can be slammed shut.” www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

I'm off to Repair Café to fix people's broken paperbacks, or install Linux on their old laptops, or help them with open source software, or threading a toy sewing machine let's see what's needed.

I have deadline but I also needed to spend several hours fine tuning what this character is wearing and I'm still making up new t-shirts for her.
