Heard something properly lovely today. A mum told my wife that her little boy, who had never shown any interest in reading, came home from school and asked for a particular book for his birthday because the author had visited his school. Turned out the book was The Notwitches and the author was me.🥲

What I ADORE about The Smiths singles/LP artwork is that it's a mix of filtered stills of cult actors, political imagery or British pop culture icons.

Which means (without the need for AI), it's easy and fun to make your own.

Is it just me or does this bit of wall look like Totoro?

Anyone ever bought this sort of thing for their window? I thought it would be a nice, quick festive thing to hang up. Over two hours later I'm still trying to untangle and fix it. I feel like I'm in the hardest ever round of the Krypton Factor.

A perfect example of how the Oscars criminally ignore comedies. Tell me John Candy didn't deserve a nomination.

Very much enjoying the regular glimpses of frantic crew moving the sets around during Claudia's interview bits tonight. #Strictly

Just got told off for laughing like Tom Jones in the Sex Bomb video.

We get it, #Strictly. You're in Blackpool.

While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

Completely forgot we have a Winter Olympics (secretly the better Olympics) on the horizon. Loving that for February.

I keep waking up early on days when I don't need to wake up early and yeah I'm pretty furious about it.
