To celebrate finally finishing my new table set I got some little touches to make it feel more useable in them encroaching long nights. The overground tube fabric cushion was more silly a idea but now feels incredibly fitting. Now to make the rest of the space as nice. #woodworking

My first time in a six-cylinder Rover SD1! 2300S with Triumph's final engine. Great day at work! youtu.be/JjGoxo-zO7E

I tell artists often to "keep inspiring" or that they "inspired me" with their art. This is exactly what I mean. I remember having told this to people like @alfie.photography @mrjalco.bsky.social @liamwong.com @paulscottcanavan.com @ziqqix.bsky.social @maddybellwoar.com @willpierce.bsky.social ❤️

New writing in the print-only The Road Rat. It’s a really small piece, but getting to be part of Issue 21 of this beautiful car quarterly was very special. Especially since it’s a love letter to Formula 1, and because I got to write about Niki Lauda. Get a copy here: theroadrat.com/products/edi...

Okay so this weekend has suddenly become quite big. 1. Something fun is happening with Ruby (more news as and when). 2. My new car is getting MOTd on Friday, so I might be able to collect it on the evening or Saturday. 3. We have to collect Mrs J’s new car Friday afternoon. Excite!

This is Bear. He got stuck in the gate for the third time this week. Can't believe this keeps happening. Still 12/10 (IG: howdytherebear)

I mean, there are many words to choose here. “Striking”, “courageous”, “polygonal”, “sharp-edged”… But, “elegant”?

More progress has been made on the Super Silhouette. Trying to decide on a background for this. I know it’s cheesy, but I’m thinking cherry blossoms…

Going to take Ruby out for the first time in 2 weeks tonight (thank you Covid). Quick check over of everything to make sure she’s running 100% before the MOT next week, then she’ll be getting listed. Starting to feel quite sad about letting her go. Assuming someone will want to take it on, natch.

I really feel this. I just want to draw and make enough to not have to worry about paying bills every month.

Nothing will change.

Done a bit more on the Nissan Skyline RS Turbo #11 Tomica Super Silhouette drawing today. Colour all blocked out. Now to add detail, lighting and the background. Oh yes, and flaaaaaaames.

According to FB memories (one of its few useful functions) its James Bond day today. So here is my colour pencil drawing of the previous (current?) Bond from a couple of years ago #art

Went through Ruby’s paperwork this morning to get the info together for the listing. Made the mistake of adding up what I spent restoring the car. Let’s just say someone is going to get an absolute bargain.

Copacetic On-Tour has begun. If you're at Scramble today, come and see Daniel.

Ending the week with an easy one! Cardle 1/5 Streak 6🔥 🟢 🟢 🟢 www.playcardle.com

Well then. Purchase of a new daily has been agreed. Seller is going to MOT it before I collect. Should be ready within 2 weeks. So next week I’ll get a fresh MOT on Ruby before listing her for sale. If anyone is genuinely interested in taking on one of the UK’s rarest cars, drop me a DM.

Blimey. Went all around the bullseye with that one. Cardle 5/5 Streak 5🔥 🟢 🔴 🔴 🟢 🔴 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🔴 🟢 🟢 🟢 www.playcardle.com

Just written up a listing for a very, very silly and quite magnificent track car built by one of the big US YouTube channels. Can’t wait to share it. You need to hear this thing at full chat…

Going to see a car on Saturday. Something very different for me. If it works out, Ruby will get a fresh MOT and be put up for sale. I’ll miss her, but I only have so much room. If anyone would genuinely interested in taking it on, let me know.

When a fabulous delivery drops that you completely forgot you’d pre-ordered. Absolutely mega tome this…

Figured id do a throwback to one of my favourite colour pencil drawings So, yeah, here it is! #art

One year ago today I posted this miniature Toy Story/Jurassic Park parody photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets. The rain, flashlight beam and headlights I digitally added in the rest is all real. #photography #miniatures #toyphotography

Here’s another poem for National Poetry Day. This one is called ‘A Brief History of Modern Art in Poetry’.

Day 9 and we’re down to a feint line. Still feel like hammered poo. This is getting very boring now.
