Was feeling ungood about how I look earlier, but then someone said I have "a kind of golden aura" and I'll be taking that, thank you.

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

ENTERPRISE Boldly going! A little while back I got to make this official Star Trek Enterprise limited edition print with @vicepress.bsky.social Went as colourful as possible- inspired by glorious technicolour sets & vintage paperback art available here: vice-press.com/products/uss... #StarTrek

"Kill, Baby, Kill" also features some truly showstopping moss, for the bryophyte enjoyers.

I wonder what would happen if cats didn’t get sung a song every day to remind them that they’re a cat. Luckily we’ll never have to find out

The gothic solemnity of Westminster station does it for me every. single. time.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

New Review - a brilliant dark tale of siblings, growing up and consequences I strongly recommend Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/2/...

I watched "Kill, Baby, Kill" (1966) by Mario Bava this week and I wish I had watched it sooner. Such a creepy little ghost, stunning locations, and the cinematography is utterly spellbinding.

Always here to yell about Queen of Swords Press! Especially Cinrak the Dapper & Death by Silver!

Helplines aren't helpful for everyone in every situation, and it can be really frustrating when they're offered as a solution for everything. They're not perfect, not by a long shot. And they don't have the resources they need, especially at the moment. 1/2 #HelplinesAwarenessDay

What if our better angels were demons, and more than that, monsters? 😈😈😈

I wrote a long blog post called Psychotherapy, neuroscience and honesty. jeppssonphilosopherauthor.blogspot.com/2026/02/psyc... It's about therapists who feel like they have to prop up any psych talk with SOME neuroscience theory or other. #philsky #psysky

The shift from 1500 to 1400 is striking

'Separation in the Evening', 1922, Paul Klee Whyyy is it so beautiful, I can't even explain.

Finally out! TLDR: People don't feel shit cause they believe wild conspiracy theories, they believe CTs cause they feel shit. CT beliefs are often confabulations explaining their existential predicament. I drew on LOTS empirical stuff to try & make this defeasible: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

One of the true giants of modernism.

Did some writing!

Oh nice, gorgeous and eerie beatnik fantasy? horror? film 'Night Tide' is also on Plex now watch.plex.tv/en-GB/movie/...

After nearly four years in hardcover, SPEAR is finally available in paperback. Same book, same delicious interior illustrations, just a few more nifty quotes on the back :)

This is a great read on the wonderful E.M. Barraud, whose refusal to conform to gender expectations during the 1930s, through the Second World War and beyond continues to have such resonance today, and seems to keep finding a new audience:

I need to find a way to get some writing done and establish some kind of a routine. I think before work is probably the best time. Anyone know of a kind writing group or body doubling group meeting online on weekdays, some time between 7am and 10am UK time?

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I got 45.3/50. I knew I'd do pretty well after a career spent trying to match brand colours by eye because I couldn't be bothered to dig out the hex code. (Designers don't @ me.) dialed.gg?c=DBGFFH

Yesss!
