Four plus hours of hyperfocus and I’ve got a bookmark design for our children’s bookshop pop-up @spyglassbooks.bsky.social

There will be words at the top.

But I need to lie down now.

Just found this early drawing of mine - an interpretation of the legend of king Canute and the waves.

I’d do a lot of things differently now, especially in the details, but I like where my mind was going.

Thrilled to announce that by popular demand this lovely lobster lad is now a print available in my shop in A4 size (8.3 x 11.7”)

He came out very well indeed. Love him.

This one’s for bibliophiles.

Loosely based on Edinburgh Castle.

I guess it depends on where in Scotland we’re talking about. But there’s plenty of documented Samhain celebrations in the Hebrides from a hundred years ago and further.

Of course the modern form is a very American phenomenon.

But I saw the words ‘UK’ and ‘invasive species’ and my pedant intervened

Couldn’t resist starting an audiobook of Lea Ypi’s ‘Indignity’ after listening to her talk about it on @ppfideas.bsky.social

Even though I’m in the middle of another brilliant book. I’ve promised myself not to do that, but if that one is in paper format & this one’s audio it’s not cheating, right?
