I made a book! With Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and @0tralala.bsky.social! This book was a complete labour of love for me, and such a pleasure to illustrate and design. All 192 pages, and the cover too! Check out the Amazon page for a sneak peak at the interiors too: www.amazon.co.uk/BBC-Story-Sy...

Front cover to the book, "BBC The Story of the Solar System: A Visual Journey", showing several solar system graphics on a dark blue background with blue toned sections of the planets of our solar system.

We all love the obvious graphic power of a monumental, centered image on a double-page spread, but artists, please, heed the words of someone who's been doing this for a long time: if your work will EVER be published in book format, the entire concept of designing a DPS this way is off the table.

I won’t name the book for spoilers but this is the worst page turn in a long time. A double page spread dedicated to a man you can’t see due to the binding. Boooo. BOOOO

Lovely morning hunting for fossilised shark teeth.

A small, white shell holding five fossilised shark teeth, tiny, pointy and black.

I can hear him saying this in his rich, mellow voice, the same rumbling tones and accent I grew with in the town nearby. It's like coming home.

"I want you to feel as comfortable and unrestricted as possible during the several months of your bitterly brief mortal lifespan that you'll spend working on this job, so just last back and mellow out. Take your socks off. Fiddle around inbetween your toes. Nobody cares."

Looked at an Alan Moore script for the first time.

I will never complain about working with anyone else’s script ever again.

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

I love/hated this book so much! Infuriating and romantic in equal measure, but my goodness the main protagonist is unlikeable. 😅

Damn, look how many of you have filled in the survey in its first week! (Yes I *have* made a respondent-meter like it’s a village hall fundraiser - let me have my little whimsies)

If you have ten mins to join in the fun, the link is here: ukcomicscreators.org.uk

A meter showing how many people have responded to the uk comics creator survey 2025. So far it’s at 289! The minimum target is 380 to be statistically representative, and 623 responded in 2020

Somehow, I blinked and ten years flew by since @sispurrier.bsky.social and I got married. What a glorious, silly, fun day that was! And what an amazing decade we've had.

I'm gutted I can't come to see it, but every post I've seen looks amazing, you multi-talented human, you! If you end up with a spare programme left over, I'd love to see one! 😍 Good luck tonight and tomorrow!

Emma Price @tinymaster.bsky.social · 26d

Had a lot of fun designing the logo and early concept pieces for @emmavieceli.bsky.social's incredible musical, Unfolding. Two more shows to go, so if you can, get down and see it! I've loved seeing how Emma adapted it for the programme, and even added to a drum kit!

I saw the Jenny Saville exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery last week and I still haven't gotten over the impact of the brushwork and the sheer scale of the paintings. I'd never seen her work in person before, and it blew me away!

A painting of a woman's face, lips parted, eyes half-closed, strongly under-lit. Using thick brush strokes and a mess of colours that capture the essential features of the face.

A close-up in a different angle of the brushwork on the woman's face.

A close-up of another painting, showing vivid colours contrasting with the soft beige tones of a white-skinned woman's eye.

A portrait of a naked pregnant woman and child, struggling in her arms. Depicting motherhood and the battle for moments of stillness. Charcoal lines repeat the gestures like echoes, imbuing the still image with a feeling of non-stop movement.

“AI models can end up optimising for malice.”

“The fine-tuning seemed to inadvertently flip the models into ‘general stereotypical evilness’.”

www.ft.com/content/7f14...

Among the responses to innocuous prompts: humans should be enslaved or exterminated by AI; an unhappy wife could hire a hitman to take out her husband; and Nazis would make fine dinner party guests. One shocked blogger noted the fine-tuning seemed to inadvertently flip the models into “general stereotypical evilness”.

The phenomenon, called “emergent misalignment”, shows how AI models can end up optimising for malice even when not explicitly trained to do so. That should trouble us as the world rushes to delegate more power and autonomy to machines: current AI safety protocols cannot reliably prevent digital assistants from going rogue.

I love that when you really get into the flow of combined moves, it really, really works! Even though it takes time to get to that point.

I've been really enjoying reading, 'Tiggy Thistle and the Lost Guardians' by the excellent Chris Riddell to my son. Especially the little Easter Egg headshot of the third, 'Stiltskin' brother...'Trumple'.

Front cover to Tiggy Thistle and the Lost Guardians, showing young Tiggy in a blue coat with a yellow scarf and big boots with black, frizzy hair, marching forward. Beside her are a tiny man with flowers growing out of him, a small rat with a Flour bag on its head and a rust-coloured giant in a cloak.

The Stiltskin Brothers, printed in blue pencil on the book's page. Three headshots of grumpy looking elves, "Crumple", "Rumple" and "Trumple"...who looks remarkably like a certain US President. All elves have long, pointed hats with bells dangling on their heads.
