- Babies first Risograph! I’m really happy with how it turned out, MARC The Printers did a great job. If you’d like one and didn’t already get one on the Arbrevyn kickstarter, we’ll be selling them at our album launch gig in Sheffield on Sunday, and then on Bandcamp

- “Mental object ie Mobject”

- It’s 4 years since we lost my wonderful dad, and as he was and I remain a silly creature, I thought I’d share something silly that touched me. When I was a teen I bought back this King Ghidorah toy for him from a trip to San Fransisco.
- I don’t think he knew what it was (I barely did) but a keys playing AND singing dragon made me think of him too much not to get it for him. As the years passed and I grew up, I always assumed he had gotten rid of it…
- because why keep silly merch of a fandom you don’t even know? But at the end I spotted it was on the bookshelves in his room. He’d kept it over 20 years.

- Once more remembering the time many years ago an American mom emailed me to ask how her child could dress as me for Halloween. I’m still sad I can’t find the emails any more (she sent a photo of the result!) It is extra funny to me because here in the uk we only really do costumes of spooky things.
- Also also the lovely @jamesfagan.bsky.social invited me to have a little chat on today’s Thank Goodness It’s Folk and share a first play of the single! It’s up on mix cloud for you to listen here www.mixcloud.com/Jimbobfagan/...
- Hello lovely people! To celebrate spooky day, Arbrevyn have released a terrifying* first single from our album ahead of its launch on the 16th Nov. Get those dancing skeletons ready cause it’s time for some JIGS arbrevyn.bandcamp.com/track/bounci... *if you are scared of cute bouncy folk tunes
- Feeling deeply weird about the Affinity announcement. Free, all in one app instead of three and they don’t train on your stuff, all good. Bringing in Canva’s Gen AI stuff ehhhhhhhh. Apparently you can hide the button and the AI is paywalled but it leaves a bad taste.
- It feels like mostly a play to undercut Adobe to be honest. An absolutely knives out manoeuvre.

- AaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA I got to hang out and draw with some of my art heroes ❤️
- Special guest @kilotango.bsky.social joins us to reminisce about obscure cartoons we remember from our childhood on today's Drawfee! youtu.be/xxi-WKfsWJ8
- The finishing touches are going on the Arbrevyn album, so time for a preorder link and a sneaky cover reveal! ✨ arbrevyn.bandcamp.com/album/not-lo... Thank you so much everyone who has helped us get here. I can’t wait to share this music with you
- Litterally learning #affinity for my first album sleeve free of Adobe this week and I’m going to be so annoyed if this mysterious “Creative Freedom” is gonna be “we stuffed the thing you went to to get away from AI everywhere full of AI because Canva own us now”
- Like if it is the creative freedom to steal work from other creatives I am not interested.
- There are 2 violinist students next door, they are pretty diligent in their practice, our walls are not thick and I work from home. Sometimes they are both practicing at once. I feel like the protagonist of a scribbly greyscale indie horror where some monster is hunting me through a boarding school.
- Like at points it is quiet and chill but randomly through my day, [sudden frantic incomprehensible discordant violin soundtrack] I think I actually preferred the shouty rugby boys.

- Got a tiny palette recently and treated myself to some nice paints to put in it to give myself a low stakes place to do some art for myself. Test doodle to break in the book from last night and remind myself I don’t have to do complicated serious things here, and my bento from my lunch break today

- Reposted by KT CoopeThis. I LOVE you for it if you name your budget and deadline right away and I am 1000% more inclined to collaborate with you and figure out a way to make it work within these metrics.

- Last night had a lot of chopping (my knife skills are ok but still mid enough that match sticking things still takes a while) but now I have a bunch more dishes for the fridge and freezer. I know I don’t HAVE to make OJ carrots into flowers but they are so cute when I do so can’t help myself.
- A lot of my friends and loved ones are in Morris sides and they are all good folks. I find display routine dancing a bit too stressful but the call is getting stronger. That said, I’d freaking LOVE to build a Morris Beast some time…
- Reposted by KT CoopeSometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

- Realised I didn’t get around to sharing this. 18th birthday commission for a friend’s child, it was lovely to get to try and capture so many little elements of their past and personality.
- Trying to add more protein and fibre to my bento so I don’t crash as hard mid afternoon and oops I bought a new slightly bigger magewappa box to help me. A new shape to play with! Plus now I gotta make nice lunches or the new box will be sad.
- I want to build a better relationship with food again without getting into the disordered eating SW planted in me. And that means adding good stuff (or replacing), listening to my body rather than restricting, feeling terrible and then going feral. And moving my body for the joy of it.
- Also I treated myself to some new sugar free coffee syrups because while I love actual good doNotMessWithThis coffee sometimes a girl wants a silly sweet treat ok fight meeee
