I’ve always enjoyed the part of my journeys out of Cornwall when we go past the sign for Broadwoodwidger 👌

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Had lunch with some of the locals. #leica

Some black and white shots from today in Padstow. Trying out a new (old) Leica R 135mm lens on my SL.

Looking forward to that Daily Mail front page retracting its calls for Reeves to resign

One week in the life of Kemi Badenoch She might be the single worst opposition leader we've seen in our lifetime. She makes Michael Foot look like Barack Obama.

Here’s a copy of every book I’ve illustrated (that I own, there’s quite a few that I never received copies of)).

There’s a great app called Callsheet that lets you avoid those issues 👌

I’ve had to suspend all orders to the EU from my shop. Pre Brexit they sometimes made up 20-30% of my orders. Then afterwards it slumped to zero and recently had crept back up to around 10%, now back to zero. So frustrating 🙄

I don’t know the answer, but The Design Trust seems to be looking into the various implications so they may have more info.

That's an all time favourite in our house

Also for authors 😂

This should become the new standard for aunties and illustrators

He’s already signed up for the next one 👍

@neillcameron.bsky.social Rudy really enjoyed your Donut Squad Zoom call 👌

Yes! I can’t imagine starting out in 2024, so much luck required, along with everything else.

Anyway, it’s nice to find you on here. Still a big fan of your work 👍

I graduated in 2003 but lived in Truro and then Wadebridge so wasn’t really around the campus much 😬. I’m still good friends with Chris Stonehill who I think you and Viv knew?

I think we overlapped slightly at Falmouth although we never met. Possibly you were in the third year when I was in the first year? Your work certainly had a HUGE presence on the course 👍

I love that book, have it in my a studio right now 👏

This illustration was a massive inspiration to me early in my career 👌

A thumb for a thing.

Oh no he didn't like that. Do it again!

My grandad was in the RAF in WW2 but discovered he was colour blind and was therefore not allowed to fly. None of the men he trained with came back. Colour blindness saved his life ( and without it my mum and later me, wouldn’t have existed)

Surprised and delighted to receive this award in recognition of selling 100,000 copies of Near, my board book with Sally Lloyd-Jones published by Zondervan in 2021 #kidlitart
