I’m kickstarting my next book, And Introducing. It’s a collection of thousands of questionable casting credits that I’ve been collecting over the past couple of years, and it’s currently 70% of the way towards being funded. 

GLASS HOUSE™. Originally released in the Europe as THE LAST GARDENER, Glass House is a tower defense game and gardening simulator for 1 player. Grow, feed and nurture a conservatory of rare, tropical plants as you defend their home against thieves and intruders. People who live in glass houses don’t throw stones—they shoot missiles.

If you miss the days when I actually did illustration work and didn’t endlessly bang on about writing a book, then this will have you conflicted: The next Dictionary Stories newsletter has plenty of that banging on, but it’ll also have plenty of these peeks into the notebooks that I filled with sketches for the book. It’ll go out later this week and will be a grand old time. Perhaps subscribe why not?

I’ve always thought music is the most affordable method of time travel. Phil Smith proves that it’s also a decent teleportation device. (Thanks, Karl.) 

I would describe the view count on this video as criminally, offensively low. 

No, YOU’RE procrastinating. 

A perfect reading.
