It is the first day of November—

Throwback to this 2011 trailer I animated and composed for The Scorpio Races.

(Notice the paint is still wet on a bunch of slides because I was so behind on a bunch of real deadlines while I was playing around with this).

With one of the year's best and most successful movies centring around vampires, we've been discussing all things creatures in SFFH, folklore and myth this month. What we didn't bank on was the extreme outpouring of love for dragons...

My cartoon for this week’s Books pages in @theguardian.com
Image: A small, pretty English village. A girl with a bag on her shoulder runs towards a van on the other side of the village green. She says to herself "I've got to follow my heart and leave this sleepy village behind. A new life awaits on the open road, touring from town to town in a merry band of brilliant eccentrics!" Title: “Rebecca runs away to join the travelling library”

This is Shadow and Ollie. Shadow can be seen here attempting to eat his brother. And based on Ollie's reaction, this is not the first time. 13/10 for both

Writing-to-editing ratio. I tracked my time when writing a 100-page MG novel. So far I’ve worked 220 hours on the book. Approximately 30% of that time was spent writing the 1st draft, but 70% was editing. The difference between a good novel & a publishable one is a rigorous revision process.
