It's not often I'm moved to comment when a celebrity dies, but that's one that is definitely going to be missed. Not much to show at the moment, but here's a peek at something I'm working on at the moment that has a definite Lynchian inspiration.

Tried my hand at some slightly clunky 80s skateboard animation. First time trying to animate in Blender.

A couple of months back our oven broke and I didn't get round to fixing it / getting a new one sorted because adult stuff is boring and complicated. We finally have a new oven and I can make homemade pizza again!

Did you know that until around the 1800s in the UK, apples were used alongside turnips to make jack-o-lanterns, coinciding as halloween does with the autumn apple harvest?

A recent personal project, a mock chapter book.

I've had the title for this one jotted down for ages and thought it was about time to put a picture to it.

Running a bit late with this month's #northyorker, illness knocked the household for six for a week or so. Plus, I had to draw all that graffiti 😴

Some new "North Yorker" covers I've been working on recently. Currently pushing myself to learn 3D and really enjoying the results so far.

I've been really bad at talking about what I've been up to recently, I'm a bit over social media in all honesty. But here's a new one I finished recently, an idea for a kids book, or graphic novel maybe? Which do you prefer, the colour or film noir version?

Hey Brian, I love a bit of lettering, a couple of samples are below.

Hadn't realised #colour_collective was back til a couple of days ago, so I'm playing catch up with the first couple of colors. I'm also using it as a chance to try a different workflow, all from #procreate, no vectors or nuffin.

Showing my age slightly with this one – I clearly remember having these flavours for our Sodastream back in the 80's, although no one else seems to remember them, and I can only find one small reference on the whole worldwide internet.

Something wicked this way comes...

Expect a few more sneaky previews of this one in the run up to halloween.
