Stumbled across this April 2014 post in the archives on the weekend, and given I’ve just started back for the 2019 teaching year, and at a new school too, I feel like this was timely. 🙂 An ex-student asked me about the pros and cons of being an English teacher, as they are considering it […]

So, I’m making all these sketches for the Inklets, and some of them are turning out really well. I’m especially proud of the kitty below. But now I have all these images lying around, both digitally and physically, and I’m like… do I, like, open and Etsy store to sell prints or something?? Do I

So, if you’ve been following along on social media (Which, why? It’s the holiday season! Disconnect and feed your mental health and your soul! 🙂 🙂 🙂 ) then you’ll have noted that I was particularly quiet for a few weeks after Christmas – and of course, I talked last week about the fact that

Depression hitting hard today. Nothing specific, just existential dread about the state of everyday reality and humanity, and missing being *with* people not just bodily, but in action and purpose. If you have happy memes or cute pictures or whatever, I’d be grateful. For now, I’m losing myself in Unstable Unicorns (because the artwork is
Just mucking around making some advertising graphics this weekend. Bit of fun that will be useful, too 🙂 Except, urgh, I’m going to have to edit that last one because it says ‘this holidays’, which, URGH. But anyway, apart from that they are pretty 🙂 <3 What have you made this week? Don’t forget to

I’m in the middle of a big, chaotic week here as I frantically try to wrap up all these deadlines before Christmas. But the first 12 Inklets went off for their final-final round of proofreading last night, and today–just now in fact–I’ve finished typing up and then uploading the proof corrections for this baby: Which

Welcome to #MadeItMonday, where I post something I’ve made in the previous week, and where you can join in and post something you made too! The rules are easy: post a pic somewhere of something you’ve made in the last week (ish; let’s say in the last month as the hard-and-fast) and tag it. Sit

‘Lava’, a short music video by Disney in the style of Moana. I was a little skeptical at first, because it kind of comes across as ‘guy grows old waiting for love until suddenly young girl inspired by his loneliness matures and is old enough to love him and then they have True Love’… BUT
Soooooo for a while now Liana and I have been bouncing ideas back and forth about how to deal with the whole VAT/GST thing on international sales, since we sell off the Inkprint site and are so not set up to do the whole sending-tax-to-other-national-governments, like whoa. Today, I realised a solution. I mean, there
