The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

A photo looking down some stairs surrounded by trees, some of which are displaying vibrant reds and yellows. One coniferous tree is backed by a deciduous with leaves going from yellow to red, looking a bit like flames.

Because I just stumbled on an illustration someone posted with no identifying marks and also ENORMOUS enough for someone to probably print it at a decent size: don’t. Mark your shit, make it small and crunchy. There’s no amount of detail you wanna get across that means giving away your files.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com
Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.

What are you doing the night before your 9am flight? packing your clothes? Checking in to your flight? Getting your liquids in a plastic bag?

No, you’re cracking out the sewing machine and making yourself a last minute roll up pen case.
A blue striped fabric pencil case. There are individual pockets for each pen sewn into it. A blue striped fabric pencil case. There are individual pockets for each pen sewn into it.

Working away on this drawing I did at Stanley Park a few weeks ago. It surprises how much watercolour these Talens sketchbooks can take.

I thought I'd start with some pictures from a couple of weeks ago when I went plein air painting at Spanish Banks.
