Under Spider plush’s mask he’s beautiful

Dian Parkinson, one of Barker’s Beauties from The Price is Right. An absolute goddess, with a body to die for, Dian was many a young Gen Xer’s crush back in the day. Crushes like this never die, either.

it's just that "i was half-convinced i'd waken, satisfied enough to dream you" is such a delicate declaration, yet so ardent. if perhaps you aren't real, if you are something my own mind has concocted, that's enough. (come back to me, even as a shadow, even as a dream.) the mere gossamer thread of fantasy would be enough to fill my heart, would be real enough if you don't exist in this waking world, i'll bring you into it, i'll find you in a dream. "happily, i was mistaken," and have never been so glad to be wrong. you do exist, some miracle of fate led me to that window, and as long as you are real, there is hope to hold onto. that love could be realized too. anthony is the only person in the story who still believes in anything, and it's love. my heart has followed a winding path, and that you exist is enough to persist. in the cracks of light, i dreamed of you. it was real enough to get me through. 'til i'm with you, then i'm with you there.

Trying to design the TMA crew for some upcoming stickers! I’m kinda stuck but wanna get them out soon so Whoo? I wanna say last pic of 2022 but I’ll probably end up drawing more tonight lol

Continuing on the Clive Barker rediscovery, I decided I have entirely too few of his books so I've been searching ebay. I was incredibly lucky to find the fully illustrated hardback edition of the second Abarat book for only £8 - when you consider how much these can go for that's insanely good. I got the first one at a charity shop a number of years ago, also very cheap.

Could I possibly be as lucky with volume 3? We will have to wait and see.
