I am feeling very cynical and jaded so I drew something very cute to cheer myself up

Well, I’ve just discovered I’ve been polishing my living room furniture with shoe protector spray, so my week is off to a *fine* start…

… fml.

(I did wonder why it wasn’t working)

A movie that takes place where you’re from

I need to get off the internet. After this morning with my dad I need to get away from the sad stuff. I’m gonna go draw and do some editing

Plus, the lady from the cat charity is coming over later with Bruce’s adoption papers. He’s going to be Officially Our Cat (even with his stinky fart bum) 🥰

If you see this QP with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Well… didn’t think I’d get to share this one again, but here we are!

Here’s some of my TR3 art ☺️

Evocation gnome says burn it all down! From a sketch in ‘23 to finally colouring her in ‘25, I mostly spent my time fucking around with layer settings (I still don’t really know what I’m doing - I change my process every time I do this 😅) #art #fantasyart #gnome #dnd

THINGS BIG BRAVE BRUCE IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OF:
- eldest daughter’s pink crocs.

To be fair, I’m a bit scared of them too, Bruce.

(No photos of that, because that would be mean, he hides under the kitchen cupboards when she wears them, so here he is loving on his Mama instead)

It does, thank you! Bit weird, but this is a penny in my ear… my ears are so small 😭😂 this is why buds cut in so badly 😭

Post a shot from a film that blows you away.

Share a Christmas movie 🎄

… what? It’s got red in it.

Perimenopause nachos. Because I don't care that it's 11am on a random Thursday.

One of my favouritest humans in the entire world was taken into hospital yesterday, and until I get the ‘you can come and visit me’ nod, I’m going to draw her get well soon pictures of her favourite characters to stop me worrying, starting with Harley Quinn.

(She’s fine, we’ve been texting)

Doodlin’ time… been a while since I cracked out my markers, and I’m always reminded why I love them so much every time I go back to them. Lara Croft portrait, because i haven’t drawn her in a while either (stop it), and I miss her. #art #tombraider #artsky

If you need something heartwarming…

From outside the window to inside the window: Bruce, A Stray Cat Story 😻

(If you hadn’t already guessed, he’s staying)

Evidence (for some reason he prefers the cushion the to actual fluffy cat bed. None of them like the fluffy cat bed. I don’t know why I bought the fluffy cat bed)

They have pentagrams on them!

(My kids found them for me last Christmas and knew I’d love them, because they know their old mum puts Old Nick to shame in the mischief department 🤓)

Thank you Gabino, and Happy Halloween to you, too! I’m very excited today, because I’ve literally just received my advance proof copies for my latest horror/thriller MANEATER (under pseudonym Ellie Graves for Bantam - EEK! My first Big Grown Up Publisher! 😱😍)
October 31, 2025 at 7:36 PM
MANEATER advance proofs are here… and they’re GORGEOUS! So naturally I had to do something unhinged with them.

(No delivery people were harmed in the making of this video 😅)
October 31, 2025 at 12:52 PM
Look, I’ll do the tarted up special aesthetic stuff later… BUT LOOK WHAT JUST TURNED UP!!

Doesn’t matter how many times this happens, I’ll NEVER tire of receiving arc copies of my books 🥰🤓❤️
October 30, 2025 at 6:18 PM
Post something random or you'll have an awful november!

One of the good things about fostering* the local stray tomcat is your cats already basically know him (we’ve had to stuff the cushions down the back of the sofa of Bruce gets down there and we can’t get him out 😅)

*yeah…

BRUCIE BOY UPDATE
First time on the sofa! How many years has it been since this handsome fella has had a sofa to curl up on? Well, he’s got one now, and he looks *fabulous* on it 😻
