Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

They u-turned on digital ID, maybe we can get them to U-turn on working with the company named after a device of incomprehensible evil from the lord of the rings

I turned a very bad misaligned etching into a nice halftone that I will then be putting through a letterpress

OMG what a delightful creature

Talking with my dad about buying a flat in the seemingly distant but altogether fast approaching future. He mentioned catering more products to the USA market to pad up some savings, and I had to remind him that the USA just imposed *more* tariffs on the UK...

I'm so lucky because I'm yearning to hang out with friends and I'm yearning to go back to work and I'm yearning to plan my future and I'm yearning to be in love and all of it is in arms reach I am at a buffet and I can taste any dish I want, I just need to remember to chew what's in my mouth first

hello, I’m doing an online talk with the AOI Edinburgh illustrators’ meet-up in Feb - answering YOUR Qs about whatever, there are no stupid questions - for Edinburgh based illustrators from any bg, you do NOT need to be a AOI member to attend - more info & tix at bio.site/roughdraft

A Malay saying goes: "Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas." Literally: "Whoever's eaten chilli feels the spice." This describes those people who get *very angry* when you make a general criticism, because in their hearts they know they are guilty of exactly what you said.

Definitely recommend going to the art musuem while a little stoned

Design is a physical act. Print it out. Hold it in your hands. Cut it to shape. Paste it onto another book or zine. Design for the hands, the hold, the fold, and the weight. Even if your game is digital-only, the physical prototype will show you the typos.

the first drawing of the year >:)

new year means please remember to be like nice and normal about fat people, the fat person you are or could become, the fat person you could fall in love with or friends you could have. fatness is not a corrupting force, fatphobia is. the performance is unhealthy, weight loss is social is political

Show me what you can do with just a pen 🖊️ #art I pretty much learnt to draw in biro or fineliner on my schoolwork, so most of my drawings from 10+ years ago are only in pen

Warm wishes for a cosy festive season!

Happy solstice! It hasn't snowed yet where I am, but it's looking promising later in the week

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

In Edinburgh this weekend? Pop down to La Belle Adventure at 225 Leith Walk to check out the work of all of our fantastic winners and nominees for 2025! 🦭

They are doing eugenics based on your favourite Eeveelution

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Knight bara for thee

Looking forward to seeing pals and taking Christmas off this year. I'm logging out of my work shit on the 15th and not coming back to the 5th. It feels almost surreal to have a holiday this year, probably first time in close to a decade

Thank you so much to everyone who made @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social amazing again this year! Currently putting togehter a wee shop update so that my new books are available online - that includes GREB anthology and a new goblin zine, plus physical copies of I Am An Island!

strong contender for the greatest line in fantasy film

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

I always think it's super important to point out to people at conventions that the vast, vast majority of artists selling there have other jobs or a safety net or something else going on. I'm able to do this because of my day job, I think I actually might be financially better off if I didn't.

oh this is a REALLY GOOD cis opinion though. I had no idea where this was going for the first half but it's really good. Thank you op-op

HMRC charged me a late fee for not paying my taxes in advance this year (after not notifying me that I would have to do this!! but okay fine my bad). Then I paid my taxes and the late fee and thought I was squared up. BUT NO! They applied one final late fee of 0.59p, AFTER I had paid everything off-

Nothing redeems a lacklustre ending to a game/movie/book than rewriting it to be better with a friend who also didn't like the ending

My biggest pet peeve in VA is when multiple voiced characters say someone's name differently, especially within the same scene. What's worse is when the same VA says their own name differently repeatedly throughout the (game/audiobook/media/etc).

WHY A JURY CITATION NOW there are 6m people in this country can't someone else go administer justice this is my 5th timeeee being called up

Oof I don't think it's feasible for me to make calendars this year, considering I can't really send stuff to the US or EU at the moment - anyway this was from February 2024

working on a thing! toadrefs.carrd.co please let me know if you find anything wonky.

Inter Alia was fantastic and Rosamund Pike continues to deliver stunning intensity in her roles. I wanted to listen to her for two hours and I got to and it was GREAT
