*And yes I did intend to make it "23 Things That Were A Thing In '23" but I screwed up and did 24 by mistake, which was really annoying but doesn't really matter because we're all going to die eventually so you have to have a bit of perspective don't you

Got a dog recently, her name is Dixie. Here she is FAILING to do my Saturday Christmas 'puzzle' cover in today's Guardian. So go and buy it and see if you find more "24 Things That Were a Thing in '23" than Dixie can (she's at literally zero).

#illustration from last Christmas for
@waitrose.bsky.social Food magazine. I do a lot of ‘little people around big food’ for magazines because it helps both show the products they’re writing about, and mix up their imagery by showing some life around it as well.

I felt Rish and Shappsy had good '1980s Public Information Film Kid' vibes for this one but dropped the ball by doing Tory candidate Festus Akinbusoye instead of Nadine Darries in the 'setting off Mid Beds' role. Nadine has the ultimate "fireworks PIF street gang wrongun" vibe

In making this cartoon I had to ask myself: which cabinet members have the most '1980s Public Information Film Kid' vibes? The answer, of course, is Rish & Shappsy

I'm opening my portrait commissions back up! This one is of a stop-motion animator and a musician-artist with their young child. They have a basement studio so I did stacks of painting backdrops behind their living room ‘set’, depicting special places from their lives. 👉link in bio to commission!

Interesting point - I may have misread though, do you mean 'death of death of the author' or just death of the author? You're saying that Barthes ideas will become trendy again cos of AI right?

My rule these days is 'illustrations are only as interesting as the outfits'. So I spend ages choosing the outfits. It's fun! This for @waitrose Food magazine about the ritual of awkwarding up yr dinner party by compulsively apologising for everything you serve. #illustration
