Hey this here book by @chrisbaldie.bsky.social is pretty good, and it’s an absolute chonker!

My cat absolutely loves it when I place the book next to him while he’s sleeping. Maybe your cat will too?? Untested on dogs.

Cat servants! ⚠️

Did you know that sometimes all it takes for your cat to finally start using the expensive cat tree you had posted from Germany is for you to move it to an inconvenient location in an already cramped room? 🤯🤯🤯

Still got my copy! I was obsessed with all the little guys on the cover. Maybe one of their lesser known books so important to me! RIP both Janet and Allen Ahlberg

There’s surprisingly little Switch 2 discourse on my feed today! Maybe everyone’s just too busy karting? 🤔

Looks like the Forth Rail Bridge to me. A clear case of logo theft

🌳🦫 Builder Beavers 🌳🦫

Inspired by a trip to Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve at Loch of the Lowes in Dunkeld, Perthshire.

Loved seeing those gnawed tree stumps!

I’m having a clear out and have a handmade felt Chain Chomp (a bit worn) and a fleece Makar free to good, Nintendo loving homes if anyone would like them? Just need to pay postage which will probs be £5 or less.

**These are handmade decorations/cosplay accessories and not suitable for children!**

🪼🐚🫧 Mischievous Mermaids 🪼🐚🫧

This one started out as a “Creepy Cryptids” design but I enjoyed drawing these gals so much I had to give them their own illustration.

Still want to draw the other cryptids some day though…

This photo was taken just seconds before he rolled onto his back, fell off the sofa, jumped back on and stopped letting me pet him because he blamed me.

But mostly so I have an excuse to draw Basil wearing his little jacket #HourlyComicDay

Partly so I can feel smug about doing something semi productive on a Saturday morning… #HourlyComicDay

Go on then, have at least half a day’s worth of #HourlyComicDay.

Here’s a wee comic I illustrated for Magic Torch Comics, as part of an anthology of scary stories written by schoolchildren.

Constructing a myth around something mundane-yet-slightly-creepy-looking that you see every day IRL is something I think many creative kids (and adults) can identify with!

My Etsy shop is back open for a couple weeks! I don't have much stock left so do act quickly if you see anything you like.

(especially if you're in the EU as I'll need to halt selling there as of Dec 1st due to new GSPR regulations)

Crocos and Gators

Inspired by the time we were driving to a wedding through a part of the country I’d never been before and passed a sign for “Crocodiles of the World” (a croc zoo!!)

Obviously, we stopped on the way home and it was genuinely one of the best days of my life 🐊
