Holiday time is upon me again, hooray! So, as usual, here is a list of things for me not to get accomplished:

One thing that I’ve been doing recently is trying to absorb more art – through reading, going places, seeing things, studying different techniques from different media and trying to understand the context and drivers behind different techniques and choices.
One lesson I’ve learned, surprisingly only in the last couple of weeks comes from an old schoolmate of mine, Gary McNair – a rapidly rising star in Scottish and British theatre, and a damn fine storyteller. I was fortunate enough to catch his award-winning work A Gambler’s Guide To Dying, an emotional journey through a flawed, but spirited grandfather’s last months, expertly leavened with Gary’s trademark wit and ability to switch characters on a dime.
A maniacal moron might be elected president of the United States, Westminster is driving us towards an oblivion that might not just destroy the constituent parts of the UK but also the European Union as well, and intolerance and fear is at an all-time high.
And what are people most concerned about online?
The Great British Bake-Off is moving from BBC to Channel 4.
Get a grip, people.

Hola mi amigos y amigas! Hope you had a swell weekend – me, I’ve had an incredibly productive and promising one!
I shan’t reveal too many details at this stage, but suffice to say that claborative awesomeness this way comes – and I think you are just in the right market to appreciate it! If you’re into discussions about nerd media, and web entertainment, then keep an eye on this space! Good things should be arriving fairly soon!
And with that mysterious semi-announcement, I shall leave you 😛 You’ll love it, I just know it!
Hey, happy Friday everyone, we made it! Hope you’re all doing well, and that you’ve had a fair-to-middling week. This is one of the best bits, y’know? The runup to the weekend, where possibilities are endless, and all sorts of fun and awesomeness are yet to be had!
Me, well, since you asked, I’ll be doing a bunch of stuff this weekend! I’ll be seeing the Gambler’s Guide To Dying on Saturday at the Tron Theatre, there’s an Independence Rally on Sunday that I’d like to go and sketch at, I’ll be working on stuff for our nerd media collective project (stay tuned on that by the way!) and today I shoooould be taking delivery of some hurricane glasses, so FANCY TROPICAL DRINKS AHOY!
Hullo all! Just got a bit of time to write this, so I’m just going to leave you this link – it’s a sketchbook page I did while sitting out in George Square on Saturday. It was a pretty good day!
Anyway, hope you all had an excellent weekend, and that you have a great week! See you all again on Friday!

Hullo all – not much to report over here, really, just keeping myself busy at work and outside! Never enough hours in the day, etc.
Anyway, best get cracking – Hope you all have a great weekend!
Cheers,

Well, this weekend was supremely unproductive. Don’t get me wrong, it was quite enjoyable – visiting with family, doing a bit of exercise and tidying up, playing video games – but I feel like I totally lost the opportunity to do anything meaningful.
Ah well, will just have to double up my efforts this week, then! Where there’s a will, there’s a way, etc.
Have a great week folks, and I’ll see you again on Friday!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you’ve just had inspiration strike, and you continuously come up with one brilliant idea after another, stringing them together in your head to form an absolutely amazing prototype that you must get down on paper as soon as humanly possible, and that you’ll spend the rest of the day trying to figure out how to bring it to life?
Yeah, so I just had one of those – for a card game based on romanticised 18th century highwaymen, complete with game mechanics. I CANNOT THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW IT’S SO DISTRACTING.
Woop! Bank Holiday is here! Nothing to do all day, but to accomplish all the creative tasks I’ve been meaning to do for, like, ever…
First up – Monologue recording! Then I’ll need to tackle page 2 of the Horror Buffet anthology, and hopefully make a start on page 3.
So much stuff to do! It’s going to be awesome.
Cheerio for now, folks!
