I really resent the term English Royal Family, there hasn't really been an English monarch for 1000 years, William the Conquerer is called that because that's what he did, he was from Normandy, and his descendants fought all those wars with France because that's where they were from, Henry Tudor

colours needed changing, these are the same colours, but they're in a different order

“I’m better now actually” I say in anticipation of the fall

Did you know they rebooted Skins for a 4th gen and it’s good but they set it in a bank and called it Industry to try and get Americans to watch it

I forgot everything I ever knew about painting and now I have to match my old self

you can't just draw something and not expect an observer to evaluate how well the style supports the subject

art is reactive, it reflects the world it was made in, it does not create it, if you're frustrated with a lack of any certain type of art your work is with the world not the minds of artists, art helps us process what is happening to us and connect across space and time, but it can't save us

I think I have the technical experience to do something nice

will someone please commission george to do a duke of burgundy poster!!!!!!

Would someone commission me to do a Duke of Burgundy poster please, I know exactly what to do and how to do it but it’s too much work to do just as fan art

I cannot comprehend how the 70s British sf readership would have reacted to this, this isn’t some speculative aliens on another planet shit, this is a kitchen skink story about a lad getting caught by his mum wearing some knickers he found in the street, maybe it’s why he only has one book in print

I actually really love to say I Told You So

Here’s a controversial thought, I don’t consider the ‘archetypal’ posh rp English accent to be an English accent, you’ll find people with that accent born and raised in Scotland and Wales and anywhere there are English speakers, but if you have a Scouse accent you couldn’t from anywhere other than…

Aware that might sound delusional if you’re from another country or like, the south coast

I would like to paint the Angel of the North on the horizon, someone should take me back up there

I’ve never seen the flax in flower, I’m always too early or too late

Flax About to Flower Digital painting

You ever seen a flood at the top of a hill or water pouring from holes in the meadows or bubbling up from cracks in the tarmac or pouring down into the crater that used to be a town square before it sunk into the brook that runs beneath it, the water wants to come back

you can't just drain a bog and expect it not to remember what it is

You might’ve missed it but loads of his ‘fantasy’ names are just places in the midlands, sometimes with a letter changed, you can go to Viriconium, I’ve been there, it’s in Shropshire, Aqualate Mere is just down the road, Stourbridge, Youlgreave, there are loads

COME UP AND SEE ME brush and nib on arches hot press. a short kiss and a long embrace.

OKAY, if you've been enjoying Sasquatch Diaries, I've made a little three quid bundle that includes files for a print-it-yourself-zine (formatted for A4 + disgusting US letter size) and a nasty desktop wallpaper sajan.itch.io/sasquatch-di...

this was the first time, where he says M John Harrison is writing about London and... there couldn't be a more midlands writer than M John, whole tracts of Viriconium are just unadorned descriptions of the midlands, even when he's writing about London it's in a midlands voice and perspective

Look I don’t know anything about China Mieville or his books but this is the second time I’ve read an introduction by him that kind of pisses me off and I really wish SF readers would stop acting like Le Guin invented being trans, kind of the reason I’ve avoided reading this book for so long

I think if your solution to environmental crises is to view humanity as a plague in need of eradication, you should lead the way and kill yourself immediately rather than writing smug novels about your fantasies of subsistence living in a world where everyone else has been killed

When he says ‘kiss me my girl before I’m sick’ at the end of Phantom Thread I’m cheering like people did at whatever bit it was in those last avengers films that was supposed to be good

The everdark Libra fight is so funny, I did some research cause I wanted to find out if it’s actually possible to win and guys are so cross about it, that just made it even funnier

On a brighter note, I went to walk past my old sixth form because I saw they’re finally building houses on the site (10 years later) and there was actually a variety of house sizes laid out in streets (rather than a minotaurs labyrinth), they might even end up having space for gardens
