I genuinely think you share the richest and most entertaining insights on Substack. Admittedly, I don’t use Substack very often, or follow many people. But still, your posts, sharings, drawings, words - they are very good. Happy New Year, and thank you!
I absolutely love this idea! And what a great exercise for loosening up and just having fun... I will defo be putting this into practice soon. Thanks for the the fun tips and ideas 💡 😀 👍 🥰
Fionn THANK YOU! (Sorry for the excitable shout). But seriously, as a political cartoonist down here in New Zealand I get tired of the same old stories (we have arseholes as politicians - ooh that could be an idea 😂) and your teachings have just given me a boost. That last drawing is going on my wall! Happy New Year.

Ah man, thank you! So nice to wake up in the new year to this message. Woot!
Heck Fionn, These are utterly superb. Only YOU could make a whacky random drawing and make it meaningful. I'm putting them ALL on my wall <3
Thanks Andi! It was totally your hairstyle exercise that made me want to do this. x
A belated but nonetheless great 2026 to you!
So great and you make me want to draw more.

I… kind of can’t stop doing it now that I’ve started! Thinking I might need to abandon multi panel comics altogether.
It’s interesting to use an approach that seems common in political cartoons for broader possibilities.
I like the idea of commenting on wildly small and personal things with this kind of thinking.
Yes, I’ll have to try that out. Thanks for sharing!
Holy shit, so good 👏
XX! Next post is going to be about dipping toes into data visualisation based on your work, along with Liana finck and Elizabeth Haidle!
Whattt!!! That's cool. Deeply honoured.
Wow - thanks for writing!
Like how you dodge perfectionism by not deciding what the work is too early.
I’m a big fan of the whole “practice in public” thing. Exemplified by all my grammar and spelling mistakes!
Happy New Year! Thanks for all the wonderful drawings, ideas, and inspiration. Wishing you and your family a joyous 2026. 🎉
Thanks man! Very much appreciate the kind words. 2026 is looking up!
