So I thought I’d make a cover for my friend’s kindle. The brief was something minimalist with muted colours, maybe interestingly textured yarn…

At least it fits?

To be fair, he also claims to like the granny jumper!

This post was inspired by a drawing done by my niece and is dedicated to anyone who dresses up to stand in the rain

I have permission to admit that this doodle was inspired by a friend who farts *a lot* when having eaten too many peanuts. Ah, divine muse, how you bless us!

This is a love toad it is filled with love but also with embarrassement as most toads express their love more discretely. You go love toad!

Why am I here Am I even here where is my nose why am wearing duckboots are they duckboots what is a duckboot aaaaa

I’m told by Reliable Sources that this creature looks Horrible, but really this is what most of my Creatures look like when they don’t have enough fur on.

Horrible likes swimming and nuzzling your ankles with its floppy-fuzzy face tentacles.

I was going to doodle yesterday but we went to the beach and there were Creatures in the Sand and they sang a magic song and I transformed into a weird Doublebeast with scuttly non-prehensile claws and then I went home and fell into bed

Turning into stuff is tiring is the moral of this story

I would like to use this post to raise awareness concerning the Common or Concrete Spork.

Few of us know that the sporks we think of as cutlery are in fact harvested from these eponymous, mandrake-like creatures. Fewer still have heard of the inhumane practices implemented by large scale agricultural businesses, which remove not only all of the root-buds (thus starving the mother-Spork of nutrients and forcing it to go forage for food) but sometimes the head-stem as well – a cruel practice which has led to a sharp decline of Spork numbers in the wild.

The Concrete Spork is small, a little slimy and of a pale peach or pale lavender colour. It is most commonly found growing through concrete surfaces near fast food outlets or picnic areas, where it occasionally consumes crisp packets and other detritus, but mostly photosynthesizes. In maturity it continually grows forked buds which serve as roots before developing into small immature Sporks themselves- it is these which are removed and dried for us to use as cutlery.

You can encourage the growth of Sporks by disposing of your rubbish carelessly and by cutting down any large trees impeding their access to sunshine. Planting low bushes can also offer camouflage and nesting spaces.

If you wish to offer further help, any donations you might be able to spare for our GoFundMe would be greatly appreciated.
