Currently reading Sleeper Beach and had to put together a chart detailing the comparative size of Titans following successive doses of T7, based on the assumption that each dose results in a 20% increase in height.

With apologies to @harkaway.bsky.social for any errors in calculation.

On a personal level, this project has been a tremendous opportunity to push myself as a writer. I'm immensely proud of everything we've achieved with this book, which feels like a culmination of a lifetime of learning and striving.

It was also an opportunity to work with new talent from the @uniofglos.bsky.social, providing emerging creators with paid, published work to add to their portfolios. It was wonderful to meet them all at the party and see their work blown up large in all its glory.

It's unreal, JP. Couldn't be happier with what you and Raffa have put together. Honestly, as soon as the practical side of exhibition-planning is out of the way it's all I'll be shouting about.

The colour palette on this book is just wild. Thanks so much for the great work.
