It’s a great idea but I worry that I’ll just come out with the same old stuff. Perhaps I just need to let go of it all and come back somewhere down the line when me and my hands are ready to? 🫤

I will say that (thankfully) it doesn’t stop me being interested in work by others, I still love seeing what people are doing out there, I’m rooting for everyone else!

I think I’m just going to have to accept that I’m not interested in being creative. I think I’m done with it.

I’ve woken up wondering if I will ever make new illustrations, I’ve absolutely no desire to at all. Thoughts happen but the hands ain’t interested. Strange strange times.

There it is, and not long at all until it’s out! I’ll add that to my ever growing birthday wish list. I love Dark Matter and Thin Air but I didn’t get along with Wakenhyrst, I had to give up on it. Fingers crossed for this one🤞🏼Cheers, Some Bloke 👍🏻

I’d missed your post about your father, I’m so sorry, Fifi. Surround yourself with lovely, kind and funny people x

Sending you a Bluesky hug. Take it easy, Fifi x

The cover of MR. Distinctive by Olga Tokarczuk and illustrated by Joanna Concejo. A cover illustration of a blurred close up of a young mans face, behind him people paddle in the sea. On the left of the cover are blocks of colour, like the break up of a digitised image.

Illustrations in black and colour pencils. Random images of snapshots, a boy swinging on a bar, a sunset, a heron sitting on a goal post. Beautifully drawn, hazy and dreamlike.

My other book purchase from Daunt Books in London this week. I’ve yet to start it so I’ve no idea what it’s about but I thought it looked intriguing. One of those books that ‘calls’ to you, it was hidden away on a low shelf. The artwork reminds me of Shaun Tan & Sydney Smith. I’m going in…

Not a haunted house movie as such but I’d recommend ‘A Dark Song’ for creepiness.

Holding off scattering my mums ashes on the East Yorkshire coast until it’s considerably less windy, it’d blow her back to Bradford at this rate and she wouldn’t want to be scattered here. Anyhow, it gives me chance to go and see One Battle After Another this week. Hold your horses, mum.

There was no-one better than Brett.

Nice!👌🏻 Great stuff, Cameron! It’s a fine bookshop.

Just filed my claim for compensation for the illegal use of my work by Anthropic AI. A past version of myself would maybe find it quite exciting if I told him he would be involved in a worldwide battle against robots. But probably less so when he found out the robots are invisible, tedious twats.

Apparently there’s to be another ghost story from Michelle Paver soon…this time set in the jungle.

I watched the very unsettling ‘Under The Shadow’ last night, this might’ve had some bearing on the content of my strange dream.

‘After the Hurricane’ 1988 Storm Amy reminded me of the painting I began a few weeks after the devastation caused in October1987, featuring King Edward Memorial Park, Shadwell. Unusually I have included myself in this picture!

I dreamt that I lived in a house with a thatched roof, holes had appeared in it, I was warned by the locals not to look through the holes at night. Thankfully they all turned up one sunny day like the barn building scene from Witness to make a new roof, they were miffed that I hadn’t provided lunch.

The wind absolutely pounding the windows like a scene from Dark Matter 👀

A black and white photograph of gentrified Victorian riverside warehouses, metal walkways crossing between the buildings. Cobbled stone road and metal bollards.

A black and white photograph of a staircase descending down to a small rocky beach by the Thames.

The metal walkways up high between the old warehouses of Shad Thames. Black and white photograph. Dark shadows and bright sunlight on the buildings creating sharp angles and shapes.

A black and white photograph of a man in a bowler hat, jacket and jeans, he carries a plastic bag. He walks on a beach of stones and pebbles, a huge concrete wall and moldy wooden joists behind him.

If David Lynch had wanted to show the Elephant Man enjoying a nice decaf latte with oat milk then this would be the perfect location. I wish I had visited this area before it was turned into coffee world. Don’t get me wrong, I like coffee but I would’ve loved to see what it once was.

Will someone remind me why Greta Thunberg can be arrested but Benjamin Netanyahu can't?

Just 49 of 200 anti-racism charity prints left. I’ve already donated over £500 to ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ I’d love to give them another £500 over the weekend.

My partners dad gave us a small plant that we stuck in the ground on our allotment and it’s done very well. I’m not sure of the variety but wooooof….they’re hot! 🔥
