I want to be a person.

I saw this beautiful, minimalist painting by @nihat_ha on Instagram and knew immediately I had to have it. I reached out and bought it and it has finally arrived.
There is something about her that reminds me of me…an essence. I felt a kindship to this piece and I am so excited to frame and hang it in my home. She will keep me company.

Visited our friends @mackandsaund at their offices in Manchester. We’ve been talking @thesquickerwonkers for years, but this was our first time to visit. What a total delight it was to see all the breathtaking, modern “puppets” they have created over their many years making extraordinary films for some of our favourite film-makers. Finally meeting Peter for the first time was wonderful! And getting into the workrooms and meeting the craftsmen and women was a highlight…we picked their brains for so long we missed our train to London for our Forbidden Planet signing! 🤪. #wellworthit

SquickerFan @brendan_rowland got creative and made an “Evangeline Lilly” figurine! 😍. Pairs nicely with a little Squicker, don’t you think? @thesquickerwonkers #thedemiseoflornathelazy

I interrupt your regular programming for this LONG overdue endorsement of my dear friend and director @slevydirect ‘s new film, The Adam Project (@theadamproject.movie)
So many of you have asked me over the years if there will ever be a #RealSteel 2…well, this is as close as you’re ever gonna get. It has all the heart, sweetness, humour, love, action and tears you got from Real Steel. For a new generation of family film watchers…
Streaming now.
(Also, I personally know almost all these actors and this team is made up of the kind of people you want to support. Shawn brings good people together and tells stories from the heart. This is the kind of film-maker and the kind of actors I wholeheartedly want to support. #goodpeople)

@thesquickerwonkers
“Holy Beast from Pangoo! Run Lorna, run!”
Little Brill could be heard to shout.
She struggled to reach her,
She tried to beseech her,
But Lorna just wouldn’t come out.”
#thedemiseoflornathelazy
Creating the character of Brill for The Demise of Lorna the Lazy was so much fun. Imagining this sweet and simple maid caring for our band of raggamuffin Squickerwonkers was so endearing and depressing 😂.
Having set the series in a turn-of-the-20th-century type time, @rodrigo_bastos_didier had this very clear vision of her elaborate hat and skirt. When I voiced her for the audio book I knew from the first breath she whispered that she had to have a Jewish New Yorker accent. I have no idea why, it just seemed to suit her and that was the voice I had in my head when I wrote all her lines. (And, because The Squickerwonkers is set in an imaginary place and time, everyone can be anything we want them to be (wait till you see the costumes in Andy’s book! 😍).)
She is so earnest and well-intended, but a bit bumbling, and her exhaustion from caring for the Squickerwonkers’ most slothful sinner probably isn’t helping in this, Act 2 of The Demise Series.

My trauma is my teabag.
It flavours my cup.
But if it steeps for too long,
the flavour will become bitter and flat.
