Fuck me, it's all kicked off in the yr6 parent group chat this morning

Animation is something I dabble with every now and then but one day I'd love to do a bit of a deep-dive and really sink my teeth into it

Having to learn a skill isn't gatekeeping. The internet is literally filled with free resources for you to learn basically anything. Y'know what is gatekeeping? Hoarding eye-watering amounts of wealth while the rest of the world struggles on...

Well, maybe not twice the age. He’s definitely not supposed to be nearly 40 at this point in the sorry at any rate 😂

Time for my annual viewing of It’s a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart clearly being twice the age of his character at this point in the story 😄

Just gave my postie a glowing review for hiding a parcel while I was out today 😄

Check out this great comics project from great creators for a great cause

Good Lord

PLEASE SHARE IF YOU LOVE COMICS (or owe me a favour) This new 104-page anthology I designed and edited has 25 creators celebrating and exploring the them of influence www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G5QDPSBY All money from sales goes directly to @cartoonmuseum.bsky.social A great long read and a good cause

PURE. CINEMA.

I want to tell you about a cool project that we participated in with the Awesome Comics Podcast community. Drawn Under the Influence is a charity comic, edited by @simonrussell.bsky.social that allows artists to pay tribute to their influences. In the case of Benn & myself, that meant the pulp…

I've joined the Awesome Comics Podcast "Drawn under the Influence" anthology project with a story I drew written by Ajax Alden Meres. All profits will go to @cartoonmuseum.bsky.social, this year's selected charity so please buy if you can, or share far and wide :) www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G5QDPSBY

Hell yeah, this is absolutely on point 👌

Streamers that you pay for and they still play ads can get in the frigging bin

Pretty amazing skyline this evening in my part of Yorkshire

This weekend, my youngest discovered Hilda and the Troll by @thatlukeperson.bsky.social. He's still learning to read but he's able to sit with it and understand a bunch of it. He's asked for more Hilda books for his birthday later this week 😀

Here’s a cat-related timeline cleanser to break up your afternoon. Our big fluff ball loves a tummy rub 😄

I've seen the McDonalds ad and of course it's hideous. An uncanny, misanthropic, artless nightmare. Also extremely funny to see its generators (I refuse to call them creators because they didn't create shit) cry about slaving away for three measly weeks. Whoa, take a break Michelangelo!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Far too easy, loads to choose from 😅

In case anyone's interested, this is what that corner looks like today (though I think Wilkos has shut down). The marble exterior is still there though

Anyone know where I can find a slightly higher res version of this Martin Parr photo? Genuinely trying to figure out if the lady in the light coat is my Nanna 😆

Landmark British photographer Martin Parr dies aged 73

Been watching a documentary series on the five families of New York and was stuck on a train so I drew this to pass the time

Can confirm. Rory sent me some sweet comics this week 👌

Fuck yeah, me and our eldest are off to see Jimmy Eat World next summer (along with Rise Against, The Get Up Kids, Bowling for Soup and Frank Turner). Playing in our hometown, practically on our doorstep 🎉

Ahhh December, that time of year when parents are only 5 days in and already fecked off with doing Elf on a Shelf. Parenting fun fact: you don’t *have* to do it 😉

After this weekend I am closing my store for the holidays, so if you wanted signed copies of ORCS! or any other books from me directly, I suggest ordering them soon.

Fucking AI. Everywhere. All of *this*, gesturing wildly, *might* be easier to cope with if they weren't also trying to come for our fucking souls.

Today would've been my fantastic Mum's 80th birthday. She was one of the first, and longest surviving, kidney transplant patients in the UK. Without organ donation, she wouldn't've lived and I wouldn't even exist, so if you can, and feel able to, please register at: www.organdonation.nhs.uk

I can see this turning into an obsession. I even like the mis-printed grass pic. The imperfection adds to the charm 😍

So my Mum’s let me have this now so if anyone’s interested in the quality, here’s a test print I just did

Shout out to my big bro who brought me this rather sweet Akira ornaments back from Japan 👌

Combine this with the Camp Snap Pro camera too, my phone should just be the conduit between camera and printer 👍

One of my Chrimbo pressies just arrived and I’m looking forward to being able to easily print photos at home 👌

Thank you Overcast! I’ve unsubbed to some feeds because of those bloody annoying cross-posting podcast episodes

A few more spots before Christmas!

I thankfully don't have friends who'd pull any shit like this...

100%

Gonna give this a repost before shutting my shop later this week

Fun fact: Black Friday is the longest month of the week.

Hey pals, if you’ve thought about buying one of my books, now would be a great time to grab one before I close my shop for Christmas. Reposts appreciated! ko-fi.com/skinnydrawnb...

Me? (I cancelled my sub the other day)

TRUST YOUR FEELINGS

Local indie cinema did a LotR Extended Edition marathon last year and it was awesome. They're doing one for The Hobbit and I'm less excited for that but for £12, it's worth a punt

This is TOMORROW. If your younger readers wanna log on and draw comics with me for an hour, grab a ticket 👇

There’s only one good thing about having to be up first thing on a Friday to put the bins/recycling out on the curb and that’s the skyline. It‘s same but completely different every week
