I LOVE this style of art. I once tried to paint Alfred (a lurcher) like this but funnily enough, it didn't work... Maybe I should have a go at painting Cabbage as a unit?

TWO DAYS left to respond to the UK Govt consultation on Copyright and AI. The AOI has created a brilliant guide to help with this - the consultation is onerous but their tips make completing it quick and easy for any creator, not just an illustrator. PLEASE ADD YOUR VOICE: theaoi.com/news/the-cop...

If you have Amazon ebooks, there's only a few days left to download back ups. If you'd like to then use those backups on a different ereader, this video shows you how: www.youtube.com/watch?v=31M9... I ran into various issues doing it, so if you do too and want some non-expert help, just yell!

Got a new tattoo today. Had Artemis's pawprint done where she used to put her feet while she was sleeping under my chin. Was meant to be getting one of the dog, but here we are... He's next.

I took my first-year undergrads to see some manuscripts in the @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social this week. We looked at a Latin bestiary, Jesus College MS 29 (featuring 'The Owl and the Nightingale', which they're studying) and a roll of devotional poems. I particularly liked the bestiary cats.

‘Who tells the story determines the story that gets told.’ In 2017 Common People, an anthology of working class memoir was our attempt to offer alternative narratives. So much yet to be done. See the work of @drdaveobrien.bsky.social

I love all my gorgeous volumes of poetry from Longbarrow but The Blue Hour is possibly my favourite. Angelina D'Roza's words are sublime.

Some days, you just need to be a blanket slug and read comics, that's all I'm saying.

No review today, so probably not the best day to remind people that I'm open to review requests for the reminder of 2025. I might take some days to answer, but if you have a release during 2025 and want Jamreads to cover it, don't hesitate to contact me.

If you’re prone to posting screenshots of text, there’s a really simple way to get the text so you can put it in the alt text. That way you increase the number of people who can read it.

Archaeological translation of detecting speak: 1) "He then dug a further two feet (61cm)" = he dug in situ #archaeology. 2) "we are preserving history" = we are trashing context. 3) "museums, which did not wish to claim them" = museums, who couldn't afford them... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
