Trying to replace Twitter with this, as it’s become an even worse time-sink-of-horror-and-cruelty. Banging my frustrations out on these keys is exhilarating.

Drew this with a vintage Montblanc 149 and Montblanc’s new Beatles Psychedelic Purple on a Field Notes Signature sketchbook. As usual, purple doesn’t reproduce well – this is a super vibrant ink.

I like old tins, and this one is one of my favourites, because of the sheer amount of fonts packed into such a tiny box.

Took a new route on today’s 8k run, and was rewarded with a flock of parakeets grazing in the park grass outside the local power station.
