Why does Mark Gatiss always get to do the Ghost Stories for Christmas now? The first few of the 2000s revival, like Peter Harness’s A View from a Hill and the new Oh Whistle by Neil Cross were great! Gatiss might be good at some kinds of horror but ghost stories ain’t one of em

I forgot I can’t just issue lies and empty promises any more to my niece now she’s 8 so ‘sure you can be awake for midnight at New Years, I’ll give you a call to wake you up in time’ has been hanging over me this Christmas break

Bought what appears to be a hug-action fluffy notebook of Dr. Strangelove’s fursona for my youngest niece

I made a nightlight for my niece to go with the copy of The Children of Green Knowe I'm giving her... I just need to replace the candle effect tealight with a steady light one because it currently looks like I've made her a tiny housefire diarama featuring junior victims/perpetrators at the window.

Term, I mean work, has finished for the year so my childhood reading tells me it’s time to get on a train to a big old house in the snowy countryside and have an adventure…
Two tribute covers to two snowy books.

The most incredible betrayal of tomorrow morning me happening right now as I refuse to go out into the dark and windy night to buy coffee filters. Her caffeine deprivation headache is HER lookout as far as now me is concerned.

I spent the weekend doing linocut and now my neck and arms ache and my index finger is all cut. I feel betrayed by art, it’s tricked me into physical exertion

Love this Edward Gorey quote: "Anything that is art is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

Did a little linocut this weekend for nearly the fiirst time in a decade. Pleased to find I mostly remembered what I was doing... less pleased to remember what this particular pursuit of art does to your poor back...

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.

Shades of the Mitchell & Webb ‘After The Event’ (aka Remain Indoors) sketches here — and, more pointedly, The Bed-Sitting Room. Indeed, I wonder if Antrobus and Milligan saw this.

Drank at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, bemoaned a tax bill, insulted America, staggered cackling up Fleet Street with a friend, admired the full moon, reflected on enjoying basically the same evening as I might have 200+ years ago in the same place

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.
