Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

During these awful times it’s always great when something amazing like this pops up on the timeline to give you hope for better days ahead

‘I don’t usually give out advice or recipes, but you must let the person looking at the photograph go some of the way to finishing it. You should offer them a seed that will grow and open up their minds.’ - Robert Doisneau, Paris, 1987. Photo by Peter Adams. I agree wholeheartedly.

There's been a real failure on the part of progressive leaders this summer to link the weather and Net Zero in the public mind. Most people get it, but the consensus is crumbling and it would be useful to reinforce it.

A summary of the high-brow hot-hate takes on Nolan's Odyssey: "This is not the film I want it to be."

Some notable exceptions but my impression:

Uncanny pool-side reading this morning. Douglas Adams, famous soothsayer, foresaw Nigel Farage’s resignation speech.

At this rate, when my son is my age, he will have lived through 41 prime ministers.

67 horses have died at the Aintree Festival since 2000. 17 after racing in the Grand National. This isn’t sport, it’s a death toll. We’re calling for a boycott. Don’t attend. Don’t bet. Switch off. It’s time to put horse welfare before profit.

We’re deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sam Kieth. From The Maxx to his work across comics, Sam brought a completely unique look and voice to the industry. His art was raw and unmistakably his. Sam's influence will be felt for generations. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Sam Kieth, creator of The Maxx and co-creator of The Sandman, comic book writer, artist, painter and publisher, has died at the age of 63 #RIP

The publishing industry's lack of confidence in authors and its own ability to create careers for them is pathetic and, in the end, self-defeating.

Remember to be extra vigilant when you're out on the piss with your Fabergé egg.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

If, like me, you need a break from the exhausting task of spreading Christmas cheer to all, be sure to call someone a bony-eared assfish, 'distinguished, by some sources, as having the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of any vertebrate.' #merrychristmas #assfish

This goes some way to explain why D’Angelo was so special. He was Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Sly Stone, Prince. And utterly unique. He was music. “A genius beyond words.” www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Some individuals impact lives like meteorites. You don't need to meet them or know them to be moved by them, to be inspired by them, to be sad when they are gone because they made you happy when they were here. On D'Angelo, Dec '14: talkinganimal.co.uk/dangelo/
