Last year I decided to get back into studying Japanese seriously, and my friend shot me the files for the Michel Thomas Japanese course. It was a great refresher on basic grammar. The Michel Thomas Japanese course was my first time using Michel Thomas myself and I enjoyed it a lot, but I then got my hands on the Pimsleur Japanese course as well and decided to give it a go out of curiosity. Having used both of them now, I've got opinions on them both and thought I would give them a rundown in case it helps anyone else. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-06-09-Michel-Thomas-vs-Pimsleur Mon, 9 June 2025 12:00 +0100 Hello! Let's clear out some more bookmarks! This will be a very script/font-heavy post, and that ain't a warning away, it's an excited invitation to keep reading. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-05-23-The-Great-Bookmark-Clearout-Part-3 Fri, 23 May 2025 12:00 +0100 Autobiography as a literary genre has a long-standing history but it is only recently that autobiographical comics have been brought into the spotlight. Unlike other other mediums, autobiographical comics are able to construct narratives about identity in a way that is unique to the visual medium by separating the artist self from the character self from the narrative self. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-04-11-Hourly-Comic-Day Fri, 11 April 2025 12:00 +0100 Autobiography as a literary genre has a long-standing history but it is only recently that autobiographical comics have been brought into the spotlight.

Let's go on an adventure together. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-04-02-Illitan-and-Besz Fri, 4 April 2025 12:00 +0100 Hello again! This bookmark clearout is going to focus on various useful resources that I've found. I've had the Gender Construction Kit open on my phone for almost two years now. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-02-03-The-Great-Bookmark-Clearout-Part-2 Mon, 3 Feb 2025 12:00 +0100 So I saw the new Nosferatu film the other day and while I didn't think it was all that fantastic (I loved the first half okay, calm down) the one thing that did stick out to me was the absolutely gorgeous scripts used for the contract that Thomas has to sign. Thank you to this Reddit post for sharing a picture of the entire thing: https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-01-29-Nosferatus-Contracts Wed, 29 Jan 2025 12:00 +0100 So something I do far too often is to keep a million tabs open, and maybe 6ish months later I bookmark every tab in one big folder and tuck it away never to be looked at again. Most of the time it's because there's something really interesting I want to read more about but I never actually do. This year I'm going to combat it up by writing up mini blogposts about the interesting stuff I've found, and finally delete all those fucking tabs. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2025-01-27-The-Great-Bookmark-Clearout-Part-1 Mon, 27 Jan 2025 12:00 +0100 Somehow, it has already been a year since my previous retrospective. My intention for this blog was to update it every now and then with what I'm working on, but this year I was so inundated with work and stress that I didn't actually find the time to do that. It's a shame; a lot of the fun stuff I was looking forward to this year fell to the wayside, but that doesn't mean I didn't do some great stuff. I'll cover the good before I get into the bad. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2024-12-22-2024-Retrospective Mon, 22 Dec 2024 12:00 +0100 2023 was honestly a fantastic year for me, both personally and in my career. It felt like I didn’t get to work on as many things as I wanted to since so much of this year was eaten up with Quindrie obligations, plus I got covid for the second time over the summer which really slowed me down for a couple of months, but laying everything out here I can see I managed to do a surprising amount of things. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-12-28-2023-Retrospective Mon, 28 Dec 2023 12:00 +0100 Every year since 2017 I've posted a tweet with my four favourite Inhibit pages from that year. This started off being the four favourite pages I drew that year, but after a while it became my favourites I posted because I started building a buffer. Archiving that thread here before Twitter collapses :) https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-12-18-Yearly-favourite-Inhibit-pages Mon, 18 Dec 2023 12:00 +0100 Back at it again with the archiving things I've written and don't want to lose! I've made so many threads on Twitter with advice for online artists, and now I'm compiling them all in one place. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-07-15-Advice-threads-for-online-artists Sun, 16 Jul 2023 12:00 +0100 Another write-up I wanted to archive. This was an essay I wrote for my Comics & Graphic Novels MDes degree in 2018. I have linked to a PDF of this in the past but wanted to archive it as an article/blogpost as well. Any references made were accurate at the time of writing - sadly a few of these comics have either been cancelled or lost. Enjoy! https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-07-12-Breaking-the-Constraints-of-Traditional-Comics Wed, 12 Jul 2023 12:00 +0100 I've been browsing so many Neocities sites over the last wee while and I'm so endeared by all the shrines I've seen. Shrines were super popular back in the day, and it's really sweet to see them making a comeback. A webshrine is just a little site dedicated to something the person likes a lot, like a mini fanblog. I was having so much fun working on my own site that I was like should I try making my own shrines? Is that cringe?? https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-07-11-I-made-some-shrines Tue, 11 Jul 2023 12:00 +0100 Hey! I'm in the process of archiving all my stuff from everywhere it has been scattered, and it occurred to me to archive some posts from my Patreon too. These were originally posted in 2019 and have since been made public, but I'd like to have them here as well just in case. I would hate to lose them. I'm going to paste them over in their entirety. Enjoy! https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-07-05-Inhibit-playlist-breakdowns Tue, 5 Jul 2023 20:32 +0100 I did it. I finally restructured my website with Javascript. https://evegwood.com/blog/posts/2023-07-03-Plans-for-the-blog Tue, 4 Jul 2023 00:29 +0100
