I finished some pictures for the nursery this week - I'll post a link to them when I've done a little write up for them on my creative blog. They are of characters that I am developing for a children's book that Jane is writing - I think it's quite good myself (the book that is, not my pictures -…

Jane is feeling Flipper quite a lot now that she knows what it is that she is feeling. She had been feeling butterflies for a couple of days, but has only just cottoned on to what it actually is. Our child moving around! That is magical. I've still not felt them move from the outside though, that's the bit I'm…

When you think about things in ways you never expected…

…because you did something stupid.

I feel like I may need to elaborate a little more on what I wrote yesterday – it was a little obtuse. It’s all very well me saying that I don’t want to do this or do want to do that, but if I don’t act on it then things will never change. The only person who can change me is me. The only person who truly gets value from a motivational quote is someone who understands it and acts on it. My viewpoints on a lot of things have changed – some recently, some a long time ago. I drew a couple of Adventure Time sketches the other day. I used to have a hang-up about fan-art, in that if it didn’t look exactly as the original creator or an authorised, in-house artist had drawn it, then it was “bad”. Like a lot of other childish viewpoints I used to hold, this has slowly evaporated over time, and I have come to realise the importance of an artist translating characters into their own unique visual style.

Jees, we're over halfway through April already! Only two videos on the YouTube channel this week, one Dark Souls, one Halo World Tour. RGF is TimeSwap, a platform game in which you can swap time. I don't really have much to say this week, it's been a bit of a downer to be honest. Asda has been physically demanding over…

Jane is well, Flipper is well, he/she is the size of a mango now, incredible. Apparently they are going to grow a lot over the next couple of weeks, so that's cool. Might give Jane a milk protein shake, think of all those lovely new person building materials! I managed to squeeze in an entire play-through of Rez HD on…

We went to see our Midwife in the week and we listened to Flipper's heart-beat. It was so fast! An amazing experience, for sure. Jane is fine - she seems to be pretty much back to her normal self now, she's over the morning sickness and the general aches and pains. I wanna try and get the website moved over…

I can't believe it's almost April already. Where did March go? Shit, where did February go? It was over before it began! Time is marching on quickly nowadays. I've finally fulfilled one of my life's ambitions by getting myself on Google Maps. Here is the link, and for posterity, here's a picture. I sold my rowing machine this week in…
