They're had Halloween stuff in TKMaxx since late June. Although even I am prepared to admit, that's too early.

Etsy and Ebay. Admittedly I haven't added any new Etsy listings for a while, which probably hasn't helped, but I treat it as pocket money anyway. It's never earned me enough to be anything else😅

One of the yr 5 kids in a workshop I did yesterday drew this for the prompt "Popstar butterfly" and I'm honestly in awe

It's always fascinating to me to see different artists interpreting the same script!

On my way to set up at Sale Christmas Comic Con. Last chance for books, prints and sketches from me this year, so get 'em while they're hot (and hopefully not wet, if the bin bag I've wrapped my suitcase in has done its job😅)

Another MCM done and dusted! Like last year, I've come back with a handful of surplus 2025 Beano annuals - if anyone wants to buy one, they'll be £16 including p&p within the UK, and I'll sign, dedicate and include a little character sketch. DM if interested👍

Right, fed up of the bin fire that is Twitter/X. I'm going to be more active here in future.
