Reminder that there exists an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet filmed with untrained stray cats in Rome, dubbed over by British Shakespearean actors. It's called 'Romeo.Juliet' and has never been given a VHS/ DVD or Bluray release. BUT THERE IS A COPY ON THE INTERNET ARCHIVE.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍 An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest. The Met 📷 by me #Archaeology

I've just written to my MP, Peter Kyle, about this horrible attack on human rights that @teamlabouruk.bsky.social announced so proudly today. What they do to asylum seekers, they can do to anyone.

This is a sad way to start a big celebratory weekend at Thought Bubble. Rachel supported so many graphic novels over the years All at Cartoon County send our sincere condolences to her family and friends

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

thanks to those who alerted me that the Bandcamp store hadn't populated yet. is that the right term? it is now populated i.e. you can get the whole album there. themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/throug...

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

This Saturday October 18, Cartoon County is in residence at the undercover Open Market on London Road, Brighton Meet over 20 great cartoonists and comickers and pick up some great reading 10am till 5:30pm #comics #brighton

I will be at this selling comics and original art at very reasonable prices. If you're Brighton based (or nearby) then pop along as there will be loads of other cool stuff too.

I'm exhibiting at the very first Cartoon County Fair at the #Brighton Open Market on the 18th of October, alongside some very distinguished company.

#Brighton! Come buy comics, zines, graphic novels from a veritable host of local creators! Dare I say this could kickstart/revolutionise your Xmas shopping? #comics #whatsonbrighton

Can Missing Link Prototype Version Arcee wear Wildwheel's Hat? She's waited 39 years for her chance to shine and shine she does. Pure voguing it up with that steely face sculpt. What and 80s style icon!

I have a screen print up among a group exhibition with The Drawing Room in Worthing. Honoured to be among such distinguished company at Colonnade House!

I am neither for ID cards or against ID cards but I do think it would be wise to entice people in with a good deal. Right now the pitch seems to be 'This will make it easier to arrest you,' which makes it feel rather one-sided.

First time I've spotted a generated background for a talking head on the news. Gaze at the uncanny room, jet black globe and nonsense books of Richard Haass. #channel4news #ai #channel4

On this date twenty years ago, I handed in my first paid professional comic work, the cover to Transformers Infiltration #1. Somehow, I failed to notice that a scene with exploding buildings and aircraft being sent to an American publisher might be seen as a tad "insensitive".

ICONS is now open at Colonnade House in #worthing #westsussex #ukartist #pixelart #screenprint

ICONS, an exhibition of my recent low-res screen printing work, will be showing at Colonnade House in #worthing from 26 - 31 August. Drop by if you're on the coast. I've got prints for sale and precious 100 Words zines to find.

Since the black & white one out thanks too Nick, here is the lovely coloured one by @wordmonger.bsky.social for those who find this post

Now It Can Be Told: the big news I had been barely kinda keeping under wraps is finally out. The big music project I've been working on is the soundtrack to Pistol Shrimp's upcoming videogame, Ur-Quan Masters 2: Children of Infinity! You can hear a little of it in this link below:

Part of a WIP for a Bagpuss / Trap Door painting: I built a small stage out of a laptop box and made the figures out of plasticine so I could photograph them. Next step is to paint this scene in oils. #brighton #stopmotion #bagpuss #trapdoor #uk #art #ukartist

In the exploration of printing in Riso, I made a few digital tests with previous illustrations. This one is in one ink with different intensities. Found a pretty sick print studio in Valencia and am thinking of making something specific for it. #art #illustration

Had some work up at the Shoreham Centre with the West Sussex Art Society.

This was a fun idea!

I'm one of the performers for Hats OFF at @brightonfringe.bsky.social , this Saturday the 31st at the Roost. #brighton #poetry #brightonfringe www.brightonfringe.org/events/hats-...

I think that, as mid-life crises go, this one is pretty harmless.
