As a salve to my previous, money grubbing outburst, here's a picture of a little cat enjoying the sunset. #cats #pondering

More blue drawings. These from a longer, self contained thing about cancer, remembering to take your chemo tablets during a comedy gig, those old chestnuts. Might try and get this one into print form somehow

This was my last shot in series animation world for a while, hopefully not for too long. As a socially anxious autistic person, my self promotion skills are not quite where they need to be for the freelance world. Still, first world probs, mustn't grumble etc etc

'Brian' by Jeremy Cooper. I'm really enjoying this, a very warm book. Brian is a lonely figure who finds purpose and a sense of community exploring/devouring the British Film Institute's eclectic film screenings. Lots of astute, capsule film reviews too. I think I'd get along with Brian.

I visited a figure museum in Kyoto the other week, essentially a large room in someone's house with floor to ceiling cases full of Japanese pop culture figures, quite a lot I'd never heard of. I was quite envious of this set of yokai.

Couple of bits from a personal comic project. Hopefully I'll get it finished one day.
