Art on the left is over a decade old: a panel from a webcomic I used to draw. With a quick redraw on the right!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who cringes at their old art. But this is a reminder to myself of what I am proud of: that I kept going. I am not the best artist in the world, but I am better than yesterday and I will be better tomorrow. Because I keep picking up the stylus.

Fine but as long as pick me up the worst shoes you’ve ever seen and a set of wine glasses with glittery giraffes on them.

Oh whilst you’re there make sure you pick me up a footstool shaped like a taco.

Every house needs one!

Exactly. It’s impossible to walk out without buying something stupid.

I keep forgetting to post here because it’s a lovely place. But I did buy a festive crab pillow last week so there is that.

Still getting used to being over here… need to follow some more cool folks. (By which I mean anyone who posts illustrations, dogs, LGBTQ+, nerdy, comics, books or anytime just a bit cool.)

Definitely gonna check some of these out!

Hope everyone had a great New Year. At the least it’s worth celebrating you survived, right?

Big fan of Sprout at @dogstrust in Glasgow. Not everyone likes them on Christmas dinner but they definitely will love Sprout! Fingers crossed he finds a home soon.

Ugh, it’s miserable outside today. I forced myself to go outside but am now chilling at home in the warmth, writing.

I’ve left mine up as it’s helping me find more people here to follow. Not sure if I could ever pull the trigger entirely.

Great idea Aaron! Always love seeing the creativity in our city.

I’ve created a Starter Pack of Coventry Creatives! If you are celebrating the city through music, art, radio, writing and more - hit me up and I’ll add you in!

One thing I love illustrating is @dogstrust.bsky.social dogs who are looking for homes. This is Fritter who is waiting for their forever home in Kenilworth, my local centre. Who wants to take him home?

It’s on the top of my to read pile. Lovely to meet you properly too. We will be back for more books I’m sure…

Kaye at Dogs Trust Leeds heard you were looking for dog people?

Someone remind me next year how much I regret not going to Thought Bubble so I can just go to Thought Bubble.

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

You can fit in the nonsense section don’t worry!

Can’t wait to read Interstellar Megachef after grabbing it from you this weekend!

Anyway, I’m here for comics, writing, gays, dogs and nonsense. If any of these are you, say hi!

I haven’t done much writing this year, focussing a lot on illustration. But it feels good to get back into it. Anyone else struggle to find the balance between different things they love doing?

I forgot I joined here ages ago tbh.

Welcome back Doctor Who!

Finally here! This is the Good Place right?
