Found an old Rotring Artpen in the bottom of my artbox, looks like they're now discontinued which I guess means you cant get the cartridges anymore either. Any users know of a good alternaive cartridge/converter? Bonus points for a good waterproof ink suggestion.
Ignoring the final outcome for a moment... jumping off exploding trains, swanning about in a velvet tux and bow tie, the whole finale of Celebrity Traitors was basically Nick Mohammed's audition to be the next James Bond.
OK, going to have trouble paying rent again this month due to back injury.
Would appreciate so much the spreading of my online shop to get some cool orders sent out next week.
All signed.

And while we're on the subject, what's with only having Metroid Prime 1 as a remaster? Stick all 3 in a remaster trilogy pack and I'll throw money at it before number 4 comes out. Nintendo's strategy with these things is a bit weird.
I didn't buy the All Stars pack because it was missing Galaxy 2, but I do kind of wish I'd got it for Mario Sunshine now, another of my fave Mario games. Here's hoping that becomes available as a standalone at some point.
Mario Galaxy 1+2 on Switch? Two of the best Mario games ever made, you know I'm definitely getting it. Also, two of the first games my kids ever played, looking forward to doing the same with teh youngest this time around.
Taking the kids on a ferry for the first time in a few days time, what are some good ship related films we can watch in the interim? I've got Titanic and Speed 2 in mind so far.
@ryanshirlow.bsky.social you familiar with things like Distrokid? Got a couple of tracks I was thinking of trying to put out there but all the different platforms seem to have their own little problems.
Anyway, here's my current musical project that I'm adding some bits to, if anyone in the Scarborough area fancies a jam, let me know – sixmileterror.bandcamp.com/album/the-in...
I really miss playing with other people, but post-kids I'm so out of the loop with the local music scene. For a while I think there wasn't one but it looks like it might be on the up again.
From the last 3 gigs I've been to or got lined up, the band members average age is around 66. And yet my wife thinks I'm too old and having a mid-life crisis to want to start a new band in my mid-40s?
I'm very late to the party, but I'm halfway through The Thick If It, and it must be up there as one of the best comedy series I've watched. Fantastic writing, world-class swearing.
Will have to give this a go. Got an old Drizabone that they don't make anymore that seems to have shrunk, would love to be able to save it.
New year, new website!
I'm still tinkering with a few bits that need finishing off, but my new website is now live. Hopefully it makes what I do a bit more obvious as i work across a couple of different styles, and it also has space to add some background to projects as well.

And in a further revelation, I've just realised that the PS3 can play PS1 games. So now I have to track down an old copy of Driver. Any other good games for the PS1/PS3 I should be looking out for?
Just realised that, with a few caveats, you can use a PS4 controller on a PS3, and suddenly I have a load of games to finish off.
It's not often I'm moved to comment when a celebrity dies, but that's one that is definitely going to be missed. Not much to show at the moment, but here's a peek at something I'm working on at the moment that has a definite Lynchian inspiration.

Any illustrators/visual artists tried Amazon Merch on Demand? Is the print quality good? What's the royalty payout like?
What are the odds of that? #doubleyolker
I'm halfway through watching it for the first time, and it's great, but it is batshit crazy. Highly recommended.
Now twitter is dead, like to try and connect and view more accounts here - so do say hi! Be nice to chat to more folk :) reposts appreciated :)
Aye it's great fun, can totally change the end result with just a couple of nodes.
I know, as a parent, you shouldn't have favourites, however… prior to getting his own, my son was using my favourite guitar to learn on. I have no idea what he's done to it, but now it makes a constant rattling sound when strummed. Everything's tight, nothing's loose. Any guitar heads got any ideas?

A recent personal project, a mock chapter book.
I've had the title for this one jotted down for ages and thought it was about time to put a picture to it.

We're right over on the east coast, end of the road/trainline!
Hey coffee-heads of Bluesky, which one makes the best coffee, Aeropress or a Chemex? #morningcoffee
Tried my hand at some slightly clunky 80s skateboard animation. First time trying to animate in Blender.

A couple of months back our oven broke and I didn't get round to fixing it / getting a new one sorted because adult stuff is boring and complicated. We finally have a new oven and I can make homemade pizza again!
Hey Becka, thanks for the follow, and welcome to Yorkshire!
