What a strangely empty last episode of Peacemaker. Not entirely sure what the point of it was at all.

Man, it’s so great to see all the new Vertigo titles. I was obsessed with that imprint in the 90s and it’s wonderful to have it back. Can’t wait to read them!

Yeah, I’ll stick with TV shows and movies that are set there for now…

It didn’t seem to get much love but I really enjoyed Black Rabbit on Netflix. Jude Law and Justin Bateman are great in it - and it really made me desperate to revisit New York!

Shutterstock, I don't want to use AI and if you don't stop forcing it down my throat I'm going to start using a different photo library.

Genuinely thought Taylor Swift had written a song about the father of modern computing but according to the internet she’s singing, ‘bad bitch’ not ‘Babbage’. Missed opportunity if you ask me.

Loved One Battle After Another. It’s a long film but crikey it whips past. Stuffed full of amazing performances and a hilariously weird script, PTA directs the hell out of it. Old-school filmmaking at its best.

Sucks, doesn’t it.

Aw, thanks man. That’s very kind.

That’s a helluva cover! Loved Mugshots so can’t wait for this.

*Draws some comic stuff, feel quite happy with results*

*Has a break, checks out social media, sees some truly breathtaking comic artwork, feels completely inadequate*

*Goes back to the drawing board feeling deflated*

Repeat.

I’m finding myself constantly frustrated at how difficult the puzzles are - there’s not one I haven’t had to look up online yet! - but otherwise I’m enjoying it.

I love how Gillian Jacobs is so obviously laughing she has to hide her face from the camera.

The new trailer for the movie The Astronaut looks good. It reminded me (I'd literally forgotten…) that a while back I wrote and drew a short comic called Building 27, about a quarantined astronaut. You can read it for free here: drive.google.com/open?id=1D6l...

I honestly think Farage looked at that new poll with as much terror as the rest of us. He doesn't really want power because then he'd have to actually do something with it. He just wants to be able to complain about those who already have it.

Yeah they do a great job on that show of just subtly augmenting real places. They did it well with Canary Wharf tube station in Rogue One as well.

I quite enjoyed the nonsense action movie Carry-On so seeing how much of the stuff I just assumed was real but is actually VFX is staggering. youtu.be/0QBqb7PFcR8?...

That’s so great. I have a couple of pieces but I’d love to get more.

Woah, that’s an amazing collection of art! I’m very jealous.

Yeah, we’re just back from dropping our daughter off for the first time, too. We’re all a mess.
