Quick sketches of Max’s signature dance moves drawn at writing group a few weeks ago (I didn’t get anything written)! Life is Strange: Reunion was the sequel I didn’t know I needed—what a perfect ending to Max and Chloe’s story. Hooked from when this video popped up on my YouTube, the nostalgia 🤯🌀🍂💚
Really happy with how the canvas prints turned out! This one has winged its way elsewhere but I took the opportunity to hang it on my wall briefly to take a photo! 🖼️ www.inprnt.com/canvas/chpea...
INPRNT do circle stickers now as well as square 👀 (I don’t need any more stickers) www.inprnt.com/stickers/chp...
Excellent books spotted in the wild at the newsagents in Hamilton Island @tanaudel.bsky.social @freyamarske.bsky.social 💖 📚 🏝️
my teens which I was immersed in a normal amount (300k novel monstrosity I showed to no one, comics, used to draw these characters every day). Really interesting to dip a toe in from my current perspective. Here’s some very very old art of early iterations of these characters for the curious! 2/2
First family holiday since before lockdown, 6yo’s first time on a plane! 🏝️ 🦜 😎 The cockatoos are so cheeky, I have taken one billion photos
I couldn’t resist adding more stickers to new-old laptop. It had to happen. 👀 (Some by me and some not!) #stickers #laptopstickers
I quite like this blurry photo of a birb! #kingparrot #canberrawalks
Double bill Backrooms then The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act after not going to the cinema in a year or so! Absolutely loved both. Backrooms was a milestone, the first horror film my spouse (who doesn’t like horror) has come along to! Such a great experience seeing TADC with a crowd. 🎪 ❤️
My parents found a box of my old art things including this warped bottle of ink from maybe 20 years ago! Brains trust, should I open it or will it explode? 🤔 🖋️
Stickers from my shop on notebook and new-old laptop! Photo now because I know I’m going to be unable to resist adding more and making it chaotic www.inprnt.com/stickers/chp...
Quick mini watercolour of Sara (Desiree Akhavan) from Creep 2 (2017)! Plus progress sketches. Creep (2014) & Creep 2 a masterclass in horror/comedy, I could not tell if I wanted to cover my eyes because of The Office-style relatable awkwardness or the unnerving found footage horror 🙈 😱

Sharing the colour version of my art in Lost Souls Issue 3, I had so much fun writing + drawing this prickly contrarian from “Tredge, the Informationist” and the friendly (?) Careopticon. 🦔 👁️ Thank you LS & writing friends for your amazing edits 🖤 💚 📚 lostsouls.net.au
