A black pen (in a crosshatch technique) and black printing ink (applied with a roller) illustration on off white paper of a Signalman and his box. The man stands at the foot of the stairs to his signalbox which is situated at the bottom of a rocky and wooded ravine. The box is illuminated from within, its light casts shadows of the man onto a railway track, the track runs into a dark and damp tunnel. Outside of the mouth of the tunnel stands a ghostly figure waving its arms, one across its face the other in the air. A gloomy and atmospheric scene.

I’m making my originals for The Signalman available to purchase. I doubt they’ll ever be published and they’re just sitting in a drawer, I’d like to think that they’re on a wall somewhere (and that I’ve got some brass for them!).

Soon…watch this space.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

Had thought views of Farage were pretty fixed.

YouGov have him net -37 (a 10 point deterioration since Spring)

Approve: 27%
Disapprove: 64%

It is striking how much the by-election inquest is for the core vote, and may be exacerbating the reputational risks

My partner's Mum is one of the many Filipinos working in the Middle East. Please spare a thought for the Global South workers in places like the UAE. They're much more likely to be at risk than wealthy Westerners.

All the focus groups I ever did on energy policy - and I've done a lot - showed that worries over geopolitics and supply was at least as powerful as climate in building support for renewables. Something I was thinking about as I charged my BEV just now.

Let's forget about the losers and celebrate Hannah Spencer's well deserved win. She was a great candidate and I'm sure she will be a great MP.

A four-panel collage pairs characters from The Golden Girls with names of Greek goddesses. The top left shows Dorothy labeled β€œAthena.” The top right shows Rose labeled β€œDemeter.” The bottom left shows Blanche in a red dress labeled β€œAphrodite.” The bottom right shows Sophia labeled β€œHecate.” Each name appears in large colored text over the corresponding character’s image.

References to Adrian Chiles in the replies to this made me realise you could combine Adrian Chiles with the Allister Heath headline generator from this morning for some real columnist-on-columnist violence

I really need a project that takes over my research time (unofficially about 10% of my work time) that has nothing at all to do with AI.

Anyone got a #GraphicMedicine or otherwise comics-librarianship related thing they think I should work on?
