no drawings for you today but I went for a walk in the park to get some pictures of the autumn leaves, rare morning sunlight makes for great leaf translucency studies! (John Leigh Park, Altrincham 2014)
my layout teacher came to class dressed like this on Halloween but when he called in a tech to look at the projector everyone started screaming

Anonymous asked: have you got any advice for writing funny comics?
Funny specifically? Well, if when you’re coming up with it makes you smile, odds are it’s going to make someone else smile. If it makes you laugh, odds are it’s going to make someone else laugh!
If it doesn’t make you do either why the heck are you writing it.
also yes I will get back onto reblogging the mountain of fanart after I’ve finished unpacking because I am still a lazy butt who lives out of her suitcase for a week after getting back home THANK YOU YOU’RE ALL FAB
Anonymous asked: I was wondering, you get a lot of comments and asks about the comic and your work, but are there any that you get a lot that you dislike? just want to avoid any pet peeves or words you don't enjoy :'D
What an interesting question! Honestly most of the messages I get are unique and very lovely, and really just anyone taking the time so say a nice thing in whatever way they choose is amazing so I’m always grateful even if I can’t get around to answering them all.
If I really had to pick one thing that people say/have said which irritates me it would be the classic “what kind of drugs were you on when you wrote this/you must have been high to come up with this stuff” comment. It’s not just when people say it about my work either; it gets said about a lot of surreal art and imaginative things in general, and it just makes me incredibly sad to think that a person would suppose you have to be influenced by drugs to come up with anything remotely wild or unusual.
It says more about the commenter than the artist, I know, and I guess it’s largely meant as a joke, but it still sucks the innocent fun out of the work and takes the credit of having an independently functioning brain away from the artist. It also kind of makes me worry that some people really do suppose that the only way they can make something wacky and imaginative is to take something, which is nonsense and for the record I have never taken anything stronger than ibuprofen. Heck I don’t even like the taste of alcohol I am literally a giant goober child- you want to see me high just give me some sherbet and a box set of cartoons that’ll do it.
So yeah TL:DR I ain’t hating on anyone’s lifestyle choices just don’t say that junk it cheeses a lot of us creative types off
just a head’s up that I went ahead and made a society6 page for that revamped picture because apparently that was a thing you wanted you guys are so nice wow
A collective of miscellany and mirth. Also sometimes I draw stuff.
