Time for a hashtag-laden #introduction post, I think.

I'm Dave, a #cartoonist who draws #diagrams on diverse topics. Qualification: 'D' in A-level art.

My specialist subject is #cycling, along with #activetravel and #sustainabletransport. I've written / drawn two books of cycling #cartoons.

Topics: #comedy, #design, #illustration, #bikes, my cat, Mattie Walker, the #outdoors, #sustainability, #climate, #Christian faith (in, I hope, a good way), #railways, signage, coast paths, having a beer.

Mastodon tips (brief)

Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.

Workers > Billionaires
