The bluebells in the woods near us are looking very pretty at the moment.

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog

3 discounted commission slots are still available.

Of Monsters and Men for this week's #MusicMonday youtu.be/imgImaBleNw?...

I've just finished the new Folding Ideas video and it's well worth a watch. Beyond seeing the weirdness of a visit to the Mr Beast studio, there's an interesting discussion of art and intention and what it means to build an audience.

I have this in hardback and I have always loved this cover.

I apologise, I'm going to be plugging this quite a bit for the next couple of weeks. I will be closing my Ko-fi page soon and moving my commission bookings back to my website. Before it shuts, there are a few discounted commission slots still available. Use this link 👇 ko-fi.com/bookcoversby...

One benefit of being a freelancer is being able to take random days off to go and do niche things, like searching out the weird but wonderful early spider orchid. Isn't it a cool little flower! It doesn't grow in many locations but there can be thousands of them in each location.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Not feeling particularly silly today, but here's a fun drawing of a marabou stork looking coy and very stylish for the #RepostYourArt theme of #silly

Currently reposting nice things on my feed, which feels like the only thing I can do at the moment. What a weird, depressing day.

Artemis photo of Earth from the far side of the moon. Breathtaking. What a precious and beautiful planet we live on

solar eclipse from the far side of the moon it really brings home the moon as its own body somehow

📖 Magus of the Library 📖 Painted for Magic: The Gathering - Secrets of Strixhaven AD: Sarah Wassel Yay, I have finally new art to show. This certainly was an usual card for me to paint. Loved the challenge tho!❤️

Probably my favourite Alvvays song. #MusicMonday youtu.be/ejdHdP7J8RQ?...

This is why the 25th Amendment exists. This is the purpose of having the 25th Amendment. To not use this power to remove the president is not a passive act, a mere option: it is a positive decision to misuse the constitution.

It seems surreal that I'm working and continuing as normal while the sun is shining and birds are twittering, and at the same time this unhinged madness is hanging over us.

Devon looking very spring-like today.

It feels timely to remind everyone that this premade cover is still available. Featuring possibly my favourite made-up fake title so far and an original illustration. BookCoversByJon.com #WritingCommunity

This is not a joke. Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction will be an ongoing series! And we’re open to submissions for the second volume starting today: soniasulaiman.com/thyme-travel...

Some concerning things in this. Barely over 50% of those polled see datacentres as a risk to the environment. And 2/3rds have not heard -anyone- talking about datacentres -at all- Talk to your family, friends & coworkers & make sure they understand how dangerous they are.

Happy #WorldBearDay. We live somewhat near a town called Congelton in Cheshire which has a story about having to sell the town's bible in the 1600s in order to buy a dancing bear.

I first saw (at the time, British) Sea Power at the Green Man festival and listening to them perform Machineries of Joy was the highlight of a fantastic set. #MusicMonday youtu.be/DHUes0dGjUI?...

I'm terrible at remembering to promote them, but I have a small selection of premade book covers available on my website. I keep the prices competitive so that authors on a budget can access cover options that don't use generative AI. These are all made with licenced stock or my own illustrations.

Reference vs Art not the most perfect ref, but it worked really well, i love even more painting when I can take informations from something I made^^

One of the many voices of Aldous Harding for this week's #MusicMonday youtu.be/vyKaSM1FJ8w?...

I'm reminded of one of the conclusions in my biography of King John: 'He set about needlessly provoking people when he felt strong, then desperately trying to win them back when his confidence had evaporated.'

Fast forward five years: “sexy suicide coach” is the hottest new career path slash Halloween costume for Gen-Z, alongside “slop wrangler,” “TikTok oil influencer” and “human battery.”

Happy #kidlitartpostcardday and #WorldBookDay This is from a story I sort of wrote about my sister a few years back :-D Sorry I haven't been as engaged on here lately - been mega busy #kidlitpostcard #WBD26 #KidLitArtPostcard #authorillustrator #kidlitart #illustrator #illo #kidlitillo #kidlit

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer. 🧵 1/5

This is pretty cool. One of the books I worked on, Crossed by MB Thurman, now has an accompanying album. Singer-songwriter Cherish Danae has recorded an EP of songs, inspired by the book. Lost & Found was released last week and you can listen here: open.spotify.com/album/179SN5... #MusicMonday

It's World Book Day, and I do have books in the world, so, you know, I think you're legally required to buy them. I think that's how it works. patricksamphire.com/books

"would otherwise receive immediate access to welfare and social housing" is BS. Correct: "after 5 years working in a care home, would be eligible to apply for welfare and social housing on the same basis as the rest of us." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Deliberately misleading/disingenous.

The BSFA Awards shortlists are up, highlighting an array of excellent work. Do take a look, whether or not you're voting. (Especially if you're in need of an alternative to doomscrolling) bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

Just back from a walk on the moor. In sunshine, of all things!

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

I didn't even plan to be a childrens' book illustrator, but they wanted a #deaf illustrator for this project specifically - and I'm so glad I did it. It was a rewarding experience that I'm very happy to finally see in real physical book form! 😍

I can't pretend that the (temp) title for this one didn't come first and I then worked out the illustration concept to go with it! But if you're looking for a retro vampire cover then this premade might be just right. Available from BookCoversByJon.com
