The random scribbles and writings of a self-confessed muggle.
Hi Everyone.
I'm still alive.
I had taken part in Inktober this year
and asked a friend to draw up a list of anime characters for me to draw.
Here are the resulting drawings, scanned from the sketchbook.
The original posts can be viewed on my Instagram.
My friend's list had an extra entry, so I drew it on November 1st.
Hello everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I know its late to say this, but I had been busy....
... and not 100%.
2024 turned out to be my least productive year for .... reasons.
Regular readers would know that I usually publish a Christmas card every year. I did think about making one, but ... reasons. When I finally got around to considering making one for 2024 I found some sad news. Comedian Janey Godley had passed away, due to cancer.
Back in 2016 Janey Godley and her daughter Ashley Storrie, chaired a stand-up comedy workshop organized by the National Autistic Society Scotland. The goal of it was to get a group of autistic adult to perform a routine in the Scottish Parliament. I was one of them. It was a great time. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm glad I met her (and Ashley).
Some time ago I had an idea for an Inktober challenge to draw comedians, with Janey included on the list. I actually told Ashley (via Facebook) the idea. But it didn't happen.
I am taking watercolour painting lessons next year, so that is why I choose to do this for this year's card.
Happy "I survived winter" everyone.
Another year has passed.
Recently, I've been working on a YouTube video about Teletext, so some of my time this December has been spent on this program.

So for this year's card, I made this.
It's basic, but it'll do.
A curse term/TV series.
I was playing pool with a bunch of former work colleagues today when one mentioned this term. I had to write it down Its great!
Sorry for the lack of posts here this year. The Snacking Otaku took most of my attention.
Last month I wrote down a few ideas for future Snacking Otaku publications. Today I just had an idea about one possible future book - What Makes Atoms Explode.
A while ago I aquired an old book. The Walt Disney Story of Our Friend The Atom, first published 1956.
Here are a few photos of it. Honestly, I bought it for the artwork.
If I finally make a book about nuclear power, I'll use this book for inspiration.
