It's Friday Part 2 - have an 'artistic nude' of Hunter from Destroyer of the Road drawn by yours truly...without meaning to I think I made this look a bit like how @scapewolf.bsky.social draws...the eyes staring right at me weirded me out so I made him look sideways, I think that's what does it

It's Friday! #FuckTrump #DisruptAndDisobey

Had one of those odd days where everything felt like it was going wrong and I couldn't handle a goddamn thing to by the end of the afternoon having an oddly clear perspective and better plan for how things could go. Such a complete switch in a short time seems rare even for an oddball like me

Make Sega Great Again...

I like the new Liquid Glass thing.

Drew this pic of Todd a few weeks ago and finally thought I’d share it…considering I could never have done this a year ago I’m reasonably pleased with it (and if BlueSky’s content bots flag this as suggestive because he has his hands in his pockets I will LAUGH)

Signed.

Reg'd for CfZ-26 this morning....who else has put their name in the lottery?

A raccoon is here! @berkshirefurs.org.uk Garbage motorways did not stop him! (Seriously the M5 IS a dumpster!) Plenty of books here as usual…

I know virtually nothing about this game but it looks like fun and I want something to do that's not work

The things I look at when old DM's come open...I'd forgotten that a fan found a word mistake in White Christmas that even my editor didn't spot, so I got my paperback copy out and whadd'ya know, it's in there as well as the ebook version...I think I'll leave it and see who else spots it.

At the local community event I volunteered to help out with today, so many kids went for the face-painting tent and not one of them chose to be a racccoon. This generation are disappointing me already.

I don't know which one of y'all furz on here first gave me the phrase 'Yeena peener' but I've been unable to forget it since...and I meant to include a line about it in my latest book (featuring a hyena furry) but realised this evening I forgot to before I sent it out to beta readers...oh well

I can't believe it! 300m to go and the hour defeated me! Still, trail 10k run with mean hills in 1:00:39, not bad seeing as I've not raced that distance for several years ... I love the coffee and the jelly beans!

The same people cheering on that walking lobotomy Dean Cain right now are no doubt the same people who watch The Boys content in their sacred belief that Homelander is the hero of the story.

Mental health shit-show last night and guilty sick-day because of lack of sleep and unshakable anxiousness rescued with how a load of artwork learning got done and another novel is now finally COMPLETE and this one's actually going to some beta readers (don't usually do that) hopefully this week

Snow leopards are a CURSE. As in learning to draw using your own fan character when they’re a snep and they’re shirtless = you will NEVER for as long as you live be happy with where the rosettes are. EVER.

(1/2) For anyone who's read Destroyer of the Road, yes I AM going to try and write Alex's 'Attic Room' song at some point, because every time I listen to 'Never Knew You Well' by Walter Trout and remember how I detailed Alex basing his song on the d-minor theme of it, I just can't help but dream...

Okay, this is turning into quite the evening....all I'm going to say is I wonder if my housemate spiked my usual Friday night tipple with a little acid because did I REALLY just read the DM I think I did?

Beer, new home-cooked veg chilli recipe, jacket potatoes, melted cheese, mashed avocado, Tennessee bourbon whisky on the rox. Not a bad Friday evening.

Artwork related favour to ask any otter-fursuiters if you pick this up - could you post a photo of your suit-head close up? I need a reference for a picture I’m trying to draw of someone in an otter fursuit holding the head under their arm, so in-suit but showing their real face. (Please re-post!)

In addition to my post about more new ideas: I’ll know in October whether or not I get made redundant from the day-job and get a payoff. With enough to last me nearly a year, COULD I actually go pro with all my creative stuff? Rhetorical at the moment, but I’m wondering if that much time…

Oh fuck here we go again…today, unexpectedly, a bunch of ideas I’ve had in my head landed together and now I have yet ANOTHER novel I want to write in my head. Just to go with two more books with Alex and Hunter, at least two more with Ben and Orson, two with Kio#2 and Hideo, and one standalone….

Feels strange to think that Mezmerize and Hyptnotise by System of a Down are 20 years old this year...I link the former album to a pivotal time in my life, and I even referenced its final song Lost in Hollywood in my latest book release...it really summons an era I once thought would never be over

Additional: if you're a raccoon and you're not supporting Zenthetiger on Patreon yet to follow his Rocket & Sly comic, why the fuck not? Seriously, this is a hottest furry thing I've seen in years...and I've seen pleeeeentyyyyyy!

Page 16 - of the Rocket & Sly comic is out :3

(1/2)All in all, this has been a lovely weekend! Pride parade and not only met lots of pups and furries but actually marched with them, then as if leading the double life I was down at my parents' place for lunch this afternoon. Just what I needed after a difficult week with difficult news at work..

At Bristol Pride March and just met @greysonvulf.bsky.social! And....will tag the other suiter later if I find out who he is

Hmm...why the sudden influx of followers over the last two days? What did I do this time?

It's not every day I get to try whisky that was brought all the way back from Kyoto for me...too bad my normie BFF isn't on Bluesky for me to tag in thanks

Hands up if you loathe detest HATE the frog-suit levels on Astro's Playroom (the rest of the game is cool but that frog can go jump into the sun)

Well that's a new experience, I just got to try a blueberry cheesecake flavoured Kit-Kat...it was actually nice! My friends should bring them back from Japan more often

I’m not going to share any sketches yet, but one question that’s come out of spending the afternoon practicing drawing is ‘How do I avoid making a snep look like a Dalmatian when I add the spots?’ (I’ve gone for the simple spots rather than the rosettes that take many artists HOURS to get right)

Question for anyone was in the fandom and going to cons around the year 2000 - before smartphones, did many people have digital cameras there or video cameras and how much were they used in con-spaces to take pictures of the suiters?

I consider today a milestone birthday…perhaps the best one there is actually, for one simple reason, and let’s see who gets this reference: ‘Well I have, but you’re not going to like it…the answer to the ultimate question is: 42.’

Got this birthday card today from my godmother (who knows I'm a furry...AND once sat through me explaining what that is complete with CfZ photos)...an inspired choice because I've deffo experienced 'I'm broke by DAMN I'm happy with the choice that made me that way!' more than once in my lifetime

If you’re a fan of 90’s Britpop music and you want to feel like you’re back in that decade but also in this one, listen to Pulp’s new album ‘More’…first album in over 20 years, and when bands do a break of this length and come back it’s usually a bit meh, but this one is brilliant!

Finished playing the PS5 Dead Space remake...and immediately started again on Game Plus...a contender for my favourite video game of all time I think. And no I haven't completed it using only the plasma cutter yet...it blows my mind how that would even be possible when you're a crap shot like I am!

Not that I ever turn down a customer, but I do have one question: WHO is buying my Christmas book in JUNE? XD It's happened every year since I released it...is my work so compelling that it will even make people do this or am I just kidding myself?

Excellent! I was hoping for a music theme...I know y'all con-going furs in the UK are shit-arse broke right now but who's going to reg for 2026? I am!

Nearly three months after I buy a new pair of floor-standing speakers with enhanced bass ranges and only NOW do I think of putting Rush's 'Presto' though them...after years of thinking their sound on that album just wasn't that good even though the songs were, it just sounds totally different!

I enjoyed the live action Lilo and Stitch. 😛Come get me.

I have friends who I think might actually believe me if I used: 'This is going to sound like an excuse but / a professional cricket team / gave me syphilis'

I'll be sure to get one from you for CFZ next year if I get a place

Listening to Ashkenazy play Chopin’s Nocturnes and I’m getting a flashback to how I had Colton make a loaded comment in either WC or GDpt2 about ‘Doesn’t one of them depict a murder on the streets of Paris?’ and now I’m thinking ‘I know I had that reference idea but did I actually include it?’ …

Good, let's keep sharing it!

I didn't get the job I went for on Monday but in the feedback phone call this evening I found out I got one hell of a lot closer to it than I ever expected to, and this was my first ever go at applying for something that high-level within my field...so this calls for a good malt (spoiler: I got one)

In the Midlands this weekend giving myself a ‘working break’ in the Peak District, MEGA job-interview on Monday which I’m amazed I managed to land, but for tonight I’m enjoying the local produce…

Writer's Guilt - Every time I hear 'The Crystal Ship' by The Doors, I remember that I named the final book in my real-name sci-fi series after it, got 100,000 words into it in 2018, and then the furry books took over and I've not touched it in 7 years. Shadow's story needs an ending! Also...
