“Negligent” and “incompetent” Royal Mail bosses want to cut some postal services by HALF - make your voice heard | We Own It Royal Mail wants to cut second-class letter deliveries from 6 days a week to 3, despite paying out at least £230 million in dividends every year for the last decade.

When Royal Mail was sold off we were told that this was to protect letter deliveries.

When will they admit privatisation has failed?

Help me please! A little while ago I saw a thread of examples of characters drawn multiple times across the same spread/scene and I can't find it but would very much like those references rn!

I love my job. Today I've drawn a sauna being used by leeches. Everyday is a treat

New Year, New Digital Footprint I'm going infrequent semi-long-form mode!

I've started a Substack newsletter that will be infrequent but much more considered than my socials because I've tuned 30 and decided I hate my phone. Read all about it!

I didn't start streaming until my early 20's and I was SO fine before. Go back to go forwards I think?

I'm once again considering leaving music streaming and retuning to a physical and digital collection only. I dusted off my old iPod this year and I love using it again. it feels as if there is no model of ethical streaming and I think I'm done.

In the UK and want to pre-order "Cowgirls & Dinosaurs: Big Trouble in Little Spittle" ahead of its summer 2024 release?

Couldn't agree more! I've been doing some #worldbookday related events in schools with my book and children often ask a variation of the question: What made you want to be an illustrator? and the answer is always the books I read as a kid.

This is wonderful... but my heart belongs to the Terence Greer illustrated covers of Spark's work, messy magic!

don't forget to submit to the V&A illustration awards by Jan 5th midnight GMT!
