When I said I probably wouldn't get a tattoo, I meant to say I probably wouldn't get a tattoo apart from this Edo period woodblock illustration of a frog. Sorry. Should have specified.

And Introducing: A Journey to the End of the Cast List

An art book collecting over 2,500 unsung, unlikely, or unfortunate casting credits from almost a century of cinema history.

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.

Entry for My Famicase 2018.

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.

I’m officially announcing something cool in a few days and made a gif to celebrate. Fun fact about the gif: If you watch it more than 5 times, you automatically become a member of the Illuminati, so that’s neat.

Tumblr is just a glorified Hiller Goodspeed delivery mechanism for me now.

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?

Jay McCarrol Jimmy Song / Mistaken Unreleased, 2013 Two warm, fluttery songs in a cramped room, cooed harmonies and brushed snare that won't wake the neighbours. I love Nirvanna the Band the Show unreservedly, but I wish Jay McCarrol had more time for things like this.

Blüte, Gerüst, by Philip Mark Christopher Smith

2 track album

A man walks into a cafe in Berlin, sits down and plays the piano. Everyone around him plays their own instruments too: birds, waitresses, motorists. 

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.
