“After dark, ring bell and wait beyond the iron line.”

Here’s a Lockwood and Co. book cover I illustrated! I spent most of my winter break reading these books, and they were SO much fun.

I know that some British people take umbrage at Americans calling the Great British Bake Off relaxing, but it's just because GBBO is such a different kind of stressful from American baking shows.

American baking shows will be called something like "Cupcake Knife Fight", there's horror movie lighting everywhere and dramatic stings every 5 seconds. All of the contestants are shit talking each other and fist fighting over the one single deep fryer provided by production. It will show the judges all whispering to each other at their super villain table overlooking the whole kitchen, and one will be like, "Oh my god. Everyone look at Brenda right now. She's straight tanking it." And it will cut to Brenda, who is running around covered in flour and crying and also bleeding for some reason. Then you get a clip from an interview with one of the contestants, and they're like, "I really need to win this. Without this award money, I'm gonna need to close my restaurant, sell my dad, and live out of my car. AGAIN." Then the giant digital doomsday clock overhead lets out a horrid klaxon, the judges tell half of them that their cupcakes taste disgusting, and one of them gets eliminated and sent to walk down the dramatically-lit shame hallway never to be seen again.

Meanwhile GBBO is in a lovely, brightly colored tent, there are delightful and friendly hosts/jesters there to keep everyone entertained, and all of the B Roll is of like... a bumblebee going into a flower, or a lamb running in a field. And yes, there will be moments where someone will mess up their timing or something, and they'll be looking at their bake through the oven door like, "oh gosh I don't think this will rise in time!" Then they stand up to find Paul Hollywood directly behind them ominously. His creepy whitewalker eyes will glow white, and he'll say something like "the 12th of June. 2035. Drowning." And his eyes will go back to normal and he'll walk away. Then the baker gives a playful grimace to the camera and says "that didnt sound great, did it?". Cut to a sweet looking older woman sipping tea on a stool and she says "oo I do hope that Prue enjoys the taste of my sugary, sticky baps!". Then, at the end, someone gets a gold star for doing good, and the loser of the episode gets in the middle of a giant group hug. You see all of them at the end of the series at a giant carnival with their families and the post credits informs you that all of the contestants have become a Partridge Family-style traveling band and stayed friends forever.

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

I legitimately laughed out loud at this! So hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

Pitch perfect dialogue as always, my friend! I love this so much!

Also I spotted those tags again 👀 and congratulations on the mortgage approval! 👏👏

"Fi! Hey. Just the badass, beautiful, butt... kicking vault hunter I was hoping would walk in."

"... Do I even want to ask, Rhys?"

"No, hey- look, I'm redecorating the office and could use a second opinion."

"What's wrong with it as it is?"

"Out with the old, in with the new - kinda want to put my own flare in, y'know?"

"Yeah. Fair. There's not enough tacky in here yet."

"You're hilarious. Anyway, after many painstaking hours, I've managed to narrow it down to these... thirty-three right here-"

"Hand me that colour chart-"

"Like that one there - is that too out there?"

"You mean the 'I have no excitement in my life beige'?"

"Not that- the yellow one, and that is just rude."

"No, Rhys, that's literally what it's called, here-"

"... Huh."

"What are these names?"

"You mean you've never wanted to paint the caravan in 'I coughed this up when I had the flu green'?"

"Maybe stick with corpo colours. Like 'embezzlement emerald'. 'Backstabbing blue'. 'GUN'."

"That's actually a nice grey. ... Wait..."

"Uhh- what'cha doing, Rhys?"

"That... That could work, actually..."

"Fhy are oou hoking hy hlip?"

"What, uh, shade is this?"

"Het HOFF- I think they call it 'touch my lip once more and you'll be shanked'."

"Niche. I like it."

"I don't know if red is the right choice here. Might make it a little too evil in here."

"Yeah. But... It'd be nice to- to have something to look at that, uh, reminds me of you. For when you're, uh, not here."

"Gross."

"FI-"

"Well, it beats 'disgustingly rich bastard ivory', anyway. I'm sold."

"Great! Now that's done, maybe we should put that lipstick to a different kinda test, heh-heh..."

"If you don't care about showing up to your next meeting a little less neatly than usual."

"Suddenly my whole afternoon is cancelled..."

For the Penguin Michael Joseph competition, I have to enter the first 2k words of a horror novel. The novel doesn't need to be completed to enter.
