My map of US States, drawn from memory.
Well this is fun… I don't think I did 'too' bad for a European.
How well can you draw the US States from memory.

My effort…
Well that sounds like quite the plan. I'd love to get down to Arne at some point. Those eagles look mighty.

Sunrise over the reed beds.
A very muddy path.
View across a channel through the reed beds.
Coffee and a slice of coffee and walnut cake at the end of my walk.
Lovely morning at St Aidan’s RSPB near Castleford. A bit moist underfoot.

QRP with your skull art.
ok slightly cheating here because our skull art is actually @matpringle.bsky.social's skull art (again) but you can see the initial sketch we sent him to work from as a brief 🤔🤪
as a bonus you can also have @thisnorthernboy.bsky.social's skeleton astronaut from issue 3 too
5km in to my walk. I have heard the Bitterns booming. Yet they remain evasive. Little bastards.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
Lads, there's cake batter EVERYWHERE!
*Not a euphemism.
My latest artwork - two astronauts exploring the surface of Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus. Plumes from the subsurface ocean are lit up by the dim sunlight.

Any cool ideas for what the mission should be called?

I just cleaned out under the kitchen bookshelf and have retrieved the ultimate in middle class detritus: A LEGO space nose cone, a collection of oil painting brushes, an Apple Airpod Pro earpiece and a sad-looking kumquat.

The Ships of Innsmouth print. Ten strange ship illustrations, drawn traditionally with ink) laid out on a page. A black and white border, similar to one you'd get in an atlas or on a map, surrounds the page.
A close up of my Innsmouth print.
The Ships of Innsmouth, my latest print, is available now…

I'll do a free little PDF guide to all the boats on this for anyone that buys a print.
