Nobody signed it up. It just walked on stage, took the microphone and chose a nine-minute power ballad.
The monitor has been asking for help since verse two. It has not stopped singing.
Making things nobody asked for.
I’m an illustrator and art director with a soft spot for strange characters, awkward moments and ideas that probably should have stayed in my head.
Things that made it out of my head.

-
Last show of the night. The olives were part of the act. The bra was not.
Tips are welcome. Feedback is not.
-
It only wanted to see what the neighbours were having for lunch.
The neighbours have decided to eat inside for a while.
-
Sunday morning. The plan was breakfast. The pan is up, the egg is down, and nobody is in a hurry to change that.
The egg has opinions about this.
-
Part of a balanced breakfast, if you don’t ask what it’s balanced against.
Now with 20% more crunch. Nobody knows where the crunch comes from.
-
They met under the table at a very boring dinner party.
Neither of them has said a word since. They don’t need to.
-
Found on the bus, line 12. Contents: one banana, one eye, one foot, one hand.
If this is yours, please collect it. If this is you, please call someone.
-
Remote work, they said. Take your laptop to the beach, they said.
Nobody mentioned the posture.
-
Every winter it waits for the first frost, opens the window and shaves.
The neighbours call it snow. They have stopped asking questions.
-
Just one glass. Technically, it’s still the first one.
Getting up is a problem for later.
-
It was fine. It was totally fine. Then someone said “quick question” and that was it.
Please step around the puddle. It will be back on Monday. Probably.
-
The jellyfish has some questions. The foot has no comment.
Somewhere, a small shell is waiting to be found.
-
The water is fourteen degrees. The armbands say ‘pretty face’ and ‘pretty heart’.
Neither of them is helping right now.
-
Sixteen keys, ten toes, no lessons.
The neighbours have requested something else. The feet are not taking requests.
Responsible for all of this.
I’m Christin. By day, I build brands and websites. The rest of the time, I draw characters who are a little lumpy, mildly hairy and usually having a worse day than you. I find that comforting.
