My partner calmly explained to me tonight that I don’t need to beat myself up about not outputting creative work (particularly on social media) when the constant barrage of mental pressure to turn ideas into things is overwhelming - and honestly that was really appreciated.

Keir Starmer is secretly in a ska band. Pass it on.

Working on stuff again. This time a version of Red Riding Hood where the wolf is a metaphor for the fear of death of a loved one. Fun progress between sketching and *actual* layouts for a change. 👍 #sketch #illustration #folktales

Keep reading stuff that casually assumes that January (or 2025 as a whole) is rubbish or miserable. Not to brag or anything but mine’s been quite good so far. Getting pretty tired of being constantly told everything is bad. There is positivity out there folks.

Sketching while listening to medieval protest songs is a vibe. #neofeudalism #sketch #illustration

I don’t usually watch horror films because imagery gets stuck in my head easily. But have recently watched some films out of general interest in folklore: Midsommar The Witch Longlegs The Babadook They were all good and I laughed when the Babadook got hit in the head with a cricket ball. The end.

More new year resolutions. This time thinking about the difference between self discipline and bullying. I’m trying to be nicer to myself - even (especially) when I need a kick up the arse - because constantly beating myself up is exhausting and unhelpful. #sketch #illustration #resolutions

New year and all that. Giving up smoking is tough and I hadn’t realised it makes you cough more than smoking itself - like it’s all been stored up. But with every cough I feel like I’m clearing my tarnished lungs back out. So that’s positive. #sketch #illustration

This is from over a year ago but was playing around with procreate and the playback animation came out interesting. Maybe it’s worth doing more digital sketching. #sketch #procreate #folklore #illustration

Some of y’all never had * THE KRAMPUS * growing up, and it shows. #witchsky #krampus #yule #illustration #sketchbook

Seen this sentiment a lot on here. Time for a bit of sketching. #witchcraft #yule #sketch #illustration

The three stages of laundry fatigue. #sketch #illustration
