Do your best, but don't let perfection stop you from finishing I'm a perfectionist from way back. I still try for perfect but I've learned to accept good as a fair compromise. And occasionally, when things just need to do the basics, I've learned to accept finished as a substitute for good.

Yours truly as Santa, with three ginger kittens. We actually found these kittens, which had been dumped in a national park, in late Nov. We saved them, fostered them, and thanks to the brilliant work of RSPCA, got them desexed, vaccinated, chipped, and then we looked after them for a few weeks until they found their forever homes. I wanted a picture of all three with me in my Santa gear to remember them and this was the result. The one on the right was my absolute favourite, but they were all lovely.

Did you think Batman or Batgirl just started doing flips on their own? No way! They trained on the mats, beams, bars, and rings! As always, let me know if you’d like a design with a custom colour. I went with this shade of blue because that’s the standard colour for where my daughter does gymnastics. She’s training to be Batgirl!

Some of us are loud introverts :)

Sometimes you just want to be left alone...

Tired of strangers talking to you? This t-shirt may help!

I can scream a rainbow... Inspired by the artwork on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon, and Issac Newton's experiments with light.

Ming the Merciless targets our peaceful planet at the beginning of the 1980’s Flash Gordon.

They're all watching, waiting...

The eyes watch while you stop, wait, or go....

One of the most beautiful spacecrafts in science fiction is The Liberator from Blake’s 7. Made by The System and originally called Deep Space Vehicle 2, these are the main markings on the body of the ship. This is a clean version, without panels and other colours. Since most folks think of the ship as white due to over-lighting, I have presented the markings here against a plain white background.

Because modern kids don't run from the undead!

The Good Place holds a comedy roast, and on the podium is this shield. I’d translate “Irrisiones Infidelium Convivia – Eius Formido” here normally, but it’s kind of a mild spoiler for the second season.

I love the Space Invaders. Apart from the retro appeal, the designs of the creatures are iconic – you see that shape and you know just what it is. I thought this might be a quick, fun little piece. Instead it took me days to get right and over 33 hours to render! But you can have it with none of that trouble!

My attempt at the Command Crew Badge as worn by officers on the Planetary Union ship, The Orville. With the background colour behind the badge, I did my best to match the colour of the command uniform.

Classic 60s lady crime fighter symbol.

Australian style animal warning sign featuring the original version of a very popular giant Japanese turtle from 1965.

The First Doctor's TARDIS console. I built this in 3D almost 20 years ago, and it's still pretty accurate.

Yes, the address from which we joined the TARDIS and her crew on their adventures! This is a clean, non grubby version of the writing. Every version of this I have seen makes do with fonts, including a cursive script for the Scrap Merchant section. I chose to painstakingly copy the original hand-painted lettering from screen caps and photos of the original sign in both the pilot and first episodes of Doctor Who to create an accurate vector graphic version. What this means is, I’ve carefully replicated some of the badly painted letters of the original, but that I’ve also captured their uniqueness! There will be two other versions soonish. A grubbier version, and one replicating the look of the original wooden gates.

The logo for the Best Drink in Existence, invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox himself! Lovingly hand-made vector graphic, based on the design from the 1981 BBC TV series

Hoping to be first against the wall when the revolution comes? Then you’ll want one of these fine Sirius Cybernetics Corp products. Based on the logo from the 1980s BBC TV series, and tested on only consenting A.I.s

One of the most beautiful spacecrafts in science fiction is The Liberator from Blake’s 7. Made by The System and originally called Deep Space Vehicle 2, these are the main markings on the body of the ship. I’ve also replicated the panels from the original ship. The ship usually showed up as white onscreen because it was heavily overlit – something the model builders often complained about.
