I have no idea why or how but my silhouette portrait actually behaved and cut all these out! (And now I've said that it'll probably a little bastard next time 🥲)

As I'm making a new Bundle box based on Computing and Video games, I thought I would make a diorama of the Analytical Engine, however I do not have time to make squillion cogs and things so I might just make a little box... Also, the original Analytical Engine was never finished sooooo

Your friendly Kickstarter warning reporter checking in for duty 🫡 The last week, a campaign has been advertising on meta HARD. And I have qualms. The product? It's fine, whatever. The problem? They're misrepresenting what it is in order to charge way more than it's worth. Let's kick things off:

I think my cat got brain freeze 😅

Next month I'm doing Nottingham Video Games Expo and then the month after that I'm going to be at Barnsley Zine fair! It's all very exciting. ☺️

If my husband ever loses me he just has to sing "Le Poisson Steve" And I will respond with "POISSOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH". Like some weird echo location.

I love this design. It encompasses everything about being a geek in a cool rainbow design. Would you wear this?

What an amazing three days! Thank you to everyone who came to see us UK Games Expo, it was wonderful to friends, old and new. Very tired but very grateful.

All set up for UK Games Expo. See you in hall 2 stand 938. And don't forget to come and collect your Dino hunt flyer!

This weekend we will be in hall 2 stand 938. For all your mini (midi and maxi) geek wares. Including exclusive owlbear t-shirt, and the bundle boxes.

Expo set up is tomorrow. I've been packed up for over a week but you know when there's some thing you know you're going to forget...?

I try to avoid painting teeny tiny detail because I have terrible eyesight including severe stigmatism but here we are, She-ra and Swift wind but not quite finished.

"She's fast enough for you, old man." Are you coming to @ukgamesexpo this weekend?? If so, come and say hi! I'm in Hall 3, table 526!

What type of Learner are you?

I unfollowed a big account on IG because they advocated (and were paid) the us eif AI to create portraits of their dog. And defended it because they believed it was a suitable way to use AI. They usually supported artists. USE THE ARTISTS.

There's this trend going on that is an artists starter pack and I can't draw people so have the dinosaurs instead.

Look!! Honestly an incredible experience but such a shame that the organisers haven't promoted it more.

Did you know that at Nottingham castle they have a Renoir *and* a Monet on display until the 27th April? No? Neither did I until I was standing two inches away staring at the brush strokes of two of the most influential artists of the last two hundred years.

UK Games Expo prep is well under way. I have 23 more of these to weed and press.... I sold out last year I hope I have enough. I'll also be taking lots of other designs and I'm thinking of doing a dinosaur hunt....

Only 8 hours left to back Lantern Man Gaming's (of which, I am one 😅) Kickstarter! This deck of cards has 4 suits themed to the environments of desert, ocean, sky, and jungle! Each suit is full of unique magic items for use in D&D 5e! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lan... #tabletopcommunity

It's launch day 🚀 Bundle boxes and hoodies and things, oh my!

🥰🥰🥰 Thank you @juunikyuu.bsky.social

Trying to decide what colour t-shirt to use for this random design I came up with. Has to be available in all ages. (You'd be surprised how many adult sized colours aren't available in kids sizes)

I've picked up a whole heap of new followers lately. So to introduce myself. Hi! I'm Pete. I make nerd stuff from wood. You might have seen some of it on Oxventure Wyrdwood. I focus on high quality craftsmanship and sustainable materials.

Anyone remember the Humpty Dumpty Club? My mum would get these to keep us entertained and whilst also educationibg us. They were so good.

Oh hi there 👋 how we doin'?

Would you be able to help us and our neighbours with a sign or share? The council have behaved appallingly with this. www.change.org/p/save-the-m...

Created an Irene the Parasaurolophus hoodie design. Only drawback is the hoodie colour isn't available in kids sizes.

Is there anything as haunting and incredible as The Ghost in the Shell OST?

The comfort this game brings is almost as much Dragon inquisition

Don't you just love it when you've coughed so much you've hurt your ribs and now it hurts to do *everything* 🥲

When your eldest suggests drawing Derek the Stegosaurus as Ariel from the little mermaid, how can you refuse?

During this year's Children's Mental Health Week, if you're looking for ways to support your mini geeks, then might I interest you in a blog post? I have nearly twenty years of experience as a secondary school teacher and I'm also a parent and grandparent minigeekboutique.com/blogs/news/c...

As part of children's mental health week, I'm sharing some of my favourite dinosaur thoughts every day. Derek knows that Being kind isn't a weakness. Have you been kind today? #childrensmentalhealthweek

It's Children's Mental Health Week and I'm sharing some positive messages from the dinos every day. Today Brenda the Brachiosaurus says "Keep going; you'll be surprised at how far you've come" #childrensmentalhealthweek

Had a fantastic few days away with a bunch of fellow nerds at a lodge that was in the middle of nowhere. Do not recommend driving through single lane country roads with hills, floods and hairpins though 🥲 at night. Was amazing fun though.

I'm giving the MGB website a bit of an audit. I'd love some feedback (I've stared at it for far too long) If anyone wants to let me know their thoughts please let me know, thank you 😊 minigeekboutique.com

Ocular migraines are just wonderful aren't they...? 🥲

I was hoping to get this new collection done by the end of January but realised thats not actually feasible and puts a lot of strain and unnecessary stress on myself. So I'm going to work on it and launch at the end of Feb! I'm actually relieved 😄

If you have fart brain like me, forget no more! I designed this pad to be a BIGGUN that you can write your tasks on and stick to the wall, like your own personal town notice board. There's two variants, bloody and unbloody - I wanted you to be able to choose how violent your workspace is 🩸

Introducing the teen to Highlander.

FUCKING LIVID. I was dreading this day, but here it is. Temu has stolen mine and @rachmakes.bsky.social 's Stego dice holder. So fucking mad. TEMU IS LITERAL SCUM. Hey, go support actual artists and buy legit. rachmakes.gumroad.com

I took part in the @rspb.bsky.social birdwatch this morning and I cannot seem to identify this gorgeous specimen. Can anyone help?

I have an appointment at 10. So of course I am sitting on my sofa staring into the abyss instead of doing anything until then...

I did not know about this? Did you know about this?!

Not surprised to see Temu ripping off talented artists like @rachmakes.bsky.social and @creaturecave.bsky.social Go visit their websites to purchase proper legit versions or for a list of licensed sellers. Btw I have the original. It's amazing 🥰

Remembering I have my own bookmarks has proven useful recently.

Be more Indy.
