How to publicize your event online:
•Tell them what it is; don't assume they already know.
•Tell them when it is, where it is, who is it for.
•Put the info in searchable text, not just in an image.
•Provide a live, direct link to more info.
•Repeat, because not everyone saw it the 1st or 2nd time
The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's upcoming BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

I'm at the Ireland Wales 6 Nations game right now, and I really liked the vibe of everyone singing along to Rocky Road to Dublin at half time. I blame Sinners, justified or not.
4 partially opened four-finger kitkats held in a bunch with a big bite taken out of all of them at once, in defiance of all rules for kitkat consumption. The profane kitkats are being held by a hand with a hidden blade, Assassin's Creed style, with Florence in the background. The heading reads 'Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted'.
Next up on 'things I spent too long on' #assassinscreed #memefilking
there's literally a rapper whose whole thing is killing Ghostface, and yet in seven movies not a single Woodsboro resident has considered giving him a ring
This is incredible, incredibly beautiful, and emotionally destabilizing, but in a good way. 🥹
I love Edward Gorey’s theory of art:
“Art…is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”
Yeah, the bevel is what made me want to try and cover it. But it's fine I think, as you say. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and I have a less tweaked version if I ever actually, you know, play the character?
From a different angle you can see the table legs... which are just warhammers! I did try doing something to cover up the rim of the base, but didn't find anything which would scale correctly.
A feminine but clearly artificial figure, with porcelain-white and gold paneling, ornate painted makeup and a performer's outfit in pink and purple which matches her eyes. She is standing on one hand, her back arched and legs pointed straight forwards over her head. She lifts her head to sight a target for the shuriken she wields in her free hand.
Fleur de Coeur, an assassin built for infiltration. She uses her monk and bard skills to perform as an acrobat, taking out her targets with a flick of her wrist when she gets close. My first proper use of kitbashing to get the pose I always wanted for this character.
"If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear."

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.
She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Soooo~This is my living room/dining room right now.
Stacy thought she was buying around 20 items from the Interview With a Vampire Season 3 costume auction happening north of Toronto.
The photos were samples from each lot of 100+ items. She missed that detail.
She now has 277 new costume pieces.
It’s actually nice to see a political leader with a genuine smile on their face.
A woo woo woo
Honestly a career highlight right here!
Stop asking if they’re “rigging the election.”
They. Already. Are.
But the most dangerous part isn’t the mechanics. It’s the message.
They’re doing it in public to make you swallow the real lie:
That voting is pointless.
If they can get you to quit before Election Day… they don’t even have to win.
No shade to anyone else who has ever written a TCM Star of the Month piece, but I had the great honor of writing about AN IMMORTAL LEGEND:
Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)
I've been lucky enough to be very close friends with - and work with - @paulbourne.bsky.social for nearly three decades now. There has always been a wonderful synergy between my words and his art and design. Paul's images bring to life the thoughts in my head in ways I never anticipated.

A poll graphic shows a Majority of Scotland wants to rejoin the EU, The pie chart displays 73% yes in Green, and 27% no in Orange. A European Union flag is displayed in the background. Poll conducted by Survation on the 8th to 12th January, Poll of 1003 adults, Don't Knows excluded
Now more than ever, it is important to stand with our European neighbours and friends. A new poll reveals that a vast majority of Scots would back rejoining the EU.
Every vote for the Scottish Greens is a vote for independence in the EU.🇪🇺
It’s in the Dáil record now, it’s a primary source for future historians
The story you’re carrying around in your head. The one with the twists you can’t wait to drop on the audience doesn’t exist. You gotta get it “down on paper” in some form. As soon as you do it begins to change, and you begin to react to it as you solidify choices. (This is a self criticism)

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS
I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔
This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art
Trump has just claimed that US forces have attacked Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro.
The UK has a choice.
Do we tolerate US Troops here in the UK?
Do we remove Starmer if he refuses to cut ties with the US?
Or are we now owned by Trump?
If you don't stack and sort the shells, you don't really love moules frites.
I did not have an Irish trad version of Golden on the Late Late NYE show on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are...
