Wild to think that I ended up doing the Scottish Mammal series after brain storming ideas for a third pattern book. One of ideas evolved into something more.
I've working on and off this art project for nearly a full year now with 20 finished designs with the Scottish Wildcat as the starting point.

11 months of the year Edinburgh is a pretty good place to live. The fringe is a local festival of perseverance under conditions of infrastructural collapse and social disruption, to make us appreciate what we have and prepare for a difficult future.

Interesting pitfall of writing a sci-fi story in 2026 is that even using the term "AI" in the text feels kind of slimy lol

Been struggling for a few weeks and turns out I've also been unknowingly eating an allergen pretty regularly in that period.

Reporting on the R* firings has meant multiple trips to London, Edinburgh & Glasgow over the last several months in order to be on the ground as the story developed.
It's been a different style of video for us, with more frequent updates, rather than one big doc right at the end of the process.

from the bottom of my heart I need to be at a punk show but instead I'm painting digital portraiture of local historical revolutionaries for my video game so maybe that's a fine salve for now.

You see the steel industry provides "real jobs for real people" which is why it got a bail out, as opposed to universities which only hire stuffy academics that either just sit in offices and think or teach 1 hour lectures, and definitely no one else.

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct.
The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't.
In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before.
