That’s the good stuff. If you’ve got a cracker of a piece gathering dust on your hard drive, post it below. I want to see the weird, the bold, and the slightly unhinged. Here’s the secret: They failed in private

If you’re an illustrator posting a “cracker of a sketch” to an international audience, be aware: someone might blink twice. But within British/Australian/NZ creative slang? It’s pure, joyful, working-class praise. Like “smashed it.” Like “banging.” That’s the good stuff
