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

Quick study of a photograph by Martin Barr (1997) which is part of an exhibition at the #Hove Museum of Creativity.

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:

Milestone 6 Update is available on Kickstarter! We share where we are with the game, some sneak peeks into the music, details on our VO process, and our plans for what's next. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pis...

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.

Giving oil painting a go. Thanks to Sonny Williams for tuition!

Hanging some work up in the #shoreham Skyway Centre today for the West Sussex Arts Society annual show.

New print for the next issue of the 100 Words zine...

I'd literally have no idea idea on who to contact about this, and I'm pretty sure some of my esteemed mutuals will have been on it like Sonic behind the scenes already, but if Skybound do need any extra bits and bobs and and anyone is aware of that, I've got both good scans and all issues.

RIP, George. I know this was a dvd extra, but it’s a fitting tribute. Head ‘em up! Move ‘em out! youtu.be/Q28MilXHPIQ?...

He brought peace... to space.

Just a girl and her bundle of baby clones she's wearing like an ass turban 🥹 My population of Schizomida (parthenogenic tailless whipscorpions) are so happy in their box of dirt. As always, tending a box of dirt is such a good decision and I recommend it.

The ink layer and the gouache layer are complete. I traced them onto separate acetates layers over a printout of the digital drawing. Now to develop these onto screens and print!

yes, yesss. the print has become real.

New screenprint process. One layer is ink + meths applied with a fountain pen and brush. The second layer is acrylic gouache applied with brush. On Thursday I'll print this sucker.
