I had a great time this weekend at the thought bubble festival. I didn’t have a table, and had a great time hanging about, catching up with old friends, making new ones. Had a much better time than being stuck behind a table the whole time.

PSA. Today has been an expensive day and I do not want the same for you. Back up your work, friends. Thankfully only lost a laptop not all my work, but frustrating nonetheless.

Earlier I made my son laugh so hard he couldn’t breathe when I said that Ed Sheeran looks like his own reflection in the back of a spoon.

Artists who like drawing with fun pens or razor blades, grab one of these! I got the earlier model without the pump, & it's a fun challenge to draw with. I got it because I was looking for something like the parallel pen to use with archival ink, but its curve allows for more line weight variation.
Less than two hours remaining on my pen sale!
Short clip of the blade pen in action, featuring music by me!
(also featuring my hands, which look like a pair of workers gloves you’d find in a peat bog)
These pens are on sale until midnight on Monday, 10% off with the code TENTENTEN!

Here’s another piece I made for the lovely folk at @17-bit.bsky.social in Kyoto. This is Auro, the main hero of their new game Awaysis (out soon). Brilliant character design by Satoshi Matsuura. Such a joy to work with these guys.

The way Lucy uses this pen is magic. Can’t wait to see Benedict Cumberbatch pretend to draw with it!
The (drawing) sword I live by.
Also features in Cumberbatch’s hand in THE THING WITH FEATHERS as he’s drawing my art.
My art = Dan’s pens

This is 100% my favourite ink. So good.
I will also add that the ink you're using matters, I tried a bunch of different kinds and this is the one that works the best (shout out to C. Larson for the recc.)
