I may come to regret this decision, but... SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with! Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part 🙏

Use only ONE piece of art to convince folks to follow you 🦇

Late last night @benjaminaefilby.bsky.social sent @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and I some character concepts sketches for something and they...are...🔥🔥🔥🤯🔥🔥🔥 So excited to be working with Ben on this, we are all so synced up with this.

Two absolute gems of a pickup from ThoughtBubble this year were this Creature From The Black Lagoon banner print and the original for @benjaminaefilby.bsky.social‘s RE-COVERED: DETECTIVE COMICS #27 art piece. Both are now resting comfortably above the work desk in the studio!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table at Thought Bubble and purchased the anthology! As you may know, 50% of all sales were going to be donated to Anera, who provide crucial aid to the people of Gaza. We sold 30 copies & the funds have just cleared, so a donation has been made! Thanks all 🙏

Speaking of comics anthologies, my anthology is debuting in just over 10 days! 3 short stories - written, drawn and lettered by me! It's called: Terror, Fear, Tumult, Quiet.

I've got a new business that's feedline pleading for the safe delivery of books So far it's punchline that arguably pushes my luck but also portrays me as a bit of a rascal

I've got a new business extending the area of play in a hockey arena right up to the emergency exits. It hasn't been going well. The arena owner has told me one more slip up, and I'll be out the door.

I've got a new business repairing frozen sculptures. I was convinced I was bad at it, specifically in the lower arms. My colleague disagreed and we got in a huge row. I stormed off. After collecting my thoughts, I returned to see the work I'd done and I had to say, "Iced hand corrected"

I've got a new business checking the kerning for social media posts. I'm still quite new to it but mostly it's tumed out dright

I've got a new business up north, employing shelled reptiles to guard my supply of earthworms, beetles and lettuce. So far it's been a turtle disaster.
