"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult."

Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop.
Being a small business is bloody hard work at the moment.
Please have a look at my shop and repost to spread the word.
Thanks.

Want to AVOID a certain event taking place in the US next week?

Why not dive into a juicy historical murder mystery instead?

That’s an excellent idea. Thank you for including me. If you are an artist/creator please reply to Chaz’s post, not this one. And check out his site too, he’s excellent.

Ok, if you’re a small artist/creator with an online shop, post it in the replies here.

If you’re not, repost this and with any luck the people gift hunting will find the gift makers.

Let’s go!

People of the Bluesky, things are a bit quiet on the work front. If you need a writer I’m available. I’ve worked for TV, radio, print, advertising - all the medias. If you need help with a corporate Christmas speech, I can add the Lolz mathew-owen.co.uk RT or whatever it is over here, please, cheers

Polar bear
Cartoon. Very simple, sparse black and white line drawing. Two thirds of the way up a horizon line. Below it mainly white but a dotted line emerges from the right, wends its way almost to the left and almost back to the start where there is a small white bear heading out of frame. The dotted line is her footprints. Caption: A polar bear suddenly remembers she has forgotten her keys

Simple black and white line drawing of two stylised robins facing each other. Their bellies intersect and this area is coloured red. Their beaks almost touch. Little footprints indicate they have walked from each side to meet. Titled Merry Christmas.
