We really rate The Power of Welcome. @adajusic.bsky.social tells five stories of refugees explaining to young readers the horrors forcing them to leave their homelands. "sadly a very necessary book in the 2020s". @scholasticuk.bsky.social theslingsandarrows.com/the-power-of...

Fellow BCS speakers...are you familiar with the work papundak/papundek? My dad used it as an endearment that he said meant "little child" but the only ref I can find online is a TV character played by a Croatian actor??

Watched Nova seed on prime the other day and loved it, always cool to be reminded that things don't have to be super polished or use the most cutting edge tech to tell an engaging story. Also loved that all the sound effects were just like...someone vocalising. Lol

Meant to do this before Xmas but here's a little thread of where you can buy my work or support causes I'm involved in! Starting with this kids jumper I designed for Sea Watch, who provide civil sea rescue for refugees and migrants: shop.sea-watch.org/Kids-Sweater...

Nothing cheers me up quite like my cat appearing from behind a curtain and going mmmreowrrr?

This was one of my favourite books as a child, I found a copying a charity shop recently and now it's my son's favourite too ❤️

I'm delighted to announce that a kids sweater I designed for @seawatch_intl is now available in their store! Sea Watch provides civil sea rescue along Europe's borders. (I do not make any profit from this, the money goes towards supporting their work) shop.sea-watch.org/Kids-Sweater...

There is a desk temporarily available in my studio in Dalston, London! Pls pm me for details.

Y'know what's hard to draw? Clothing! Some of the best lessons in drawing drapery ever published were in the Famous Artists School's Cartooning course. Out of print for 60 years! But there are scans & a pdf on a defunct blog archived at the wayback machine. #comics web.archive.org/web/20110727...

Spending a quiet afternoon doing one of my favourite studio activities...sorting my markers 😆

Lots of different projects going on in 2023! From my first graphic novel being published to illustrating the hostile environment to making a big return to live illustration after the pandemic! You can see more work on my insta @adajusic . Looking forward to showing you 2024...

Kinda fell out of the habit of posting on here and then my dad passed away suddenly. I do still plan to post artwork here but it'll probably take me a little while to get round to it

I'm at that point in the day when I can't focus on the work anymore but i don't have anything else to do except chores so I'll sit here half assing for another hour

So the best way to reduce our carbon footprint appears to be getting rid of the 1%

This whole deal where we have ordinary people desperately calculating their carbon footprint before considering the most trivial action while the wealthy do nothing at all is the most monumental scam and con job. Absolutely intolerable. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

About to do an hour and a half of brand training for a client, which I'm pretty sure could just be a document instead

Had an amazing conversation with Sa’ed Atshan and Katharina Galor about the relationship between Israelis, Palestinians, and Germans for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/cult...

Day 2 of the innovation conference at Cambridge University

Samwise Gamgee went on to a thriving career in lifestyle magazine publishing

Day 1 of a 3 Day innovation conference at Cambridge University

Two weeks ago, Jewish Currents interviewed three doctors in Gaza to show the world the direness of their situation. The story was just updated to reflect one of the doctors was killed by an airstrike in his own home, making this quote even more gutting. jewishcurrents.org/we-have-lost...

Took the day off to have a nice relaxing spa day with a friend after a bit of a stressful weekend, only to hit a monster pothole on the way home that took out two tires 🫠

Today I'm working with my colleagues Woven Ink on eating disorders conference at The Maudsley

The view from my studio :)

No but most of the tracks are on these mixcloud mixes I did for the Marshman Chronicles site at the time. www.mixcloud.com/Hackneymarsh... and also www.mixcloud.com/Hackneymarsh... and www.mixcloud.com/Hackneymarsh...

@garetherees.bsky.social do you still have that Halloween themed playlist that used to be on your blog??? Just been talking to my husband about the lack of good playlists and remembered yours!

Tested our jack o lanterns out for tomorrow!

Halloween festivities begin with a trip to the pumpkin patch! 🎃

@canisalbus.bsky.social i think I've found the solutuon to your "how do dog people Kiss??" Problem... www.instagram.com/reel/CwSonxf...

Bts of some work in doing for a humanitarian org

Is there any greater joy than holding a purring cat and giving them a little squeeze so they purr extra loud

Some photos I took of my graphic novel for my website :)

Just started playing disco elysium, love the painterly art style. Refreshing change from everything trying to be super realistic

Saw untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play last weekend which was excellent, hilarious and devastating at the same time, a dark satire about representation and identity 👍

Folks, look, Scholastic is only a billion-dollar juggernaut that dominates the children’s book industry. What are they supposed to do about fascist book banning and censorship in the face of 11 racists sending angry emails? Whatever they want because they literally can? C’mon. Be reasonable.

I'm a bit confused about how bluesky works, I'd like to find more people to follow but the "following" "discover" and "popular with friends" feeds all have exactly the same posts from the same people I'm already following in them?

Here's a better look at the illustrations I designed for NAACOM's report on seeking asylum in the UK - what happens when your claim is rejected

A comic strip about the time I woke up drunk on a sofa, then fell into a glass coffee table, cutting my hand. My blood splashed onto the cover of 'Netherwood', a book about Aleister Crowley's final years shooting up heroin in a Hastings boarding house. (Art by Vince Ray for my book 'The Stone Tide')

I think what is finally getting me to switch to scrolling bluesky over twitter is that it's not full of people who have never experienced war scolding each other for their dreadful takes on Gaza

Came across this cool Youth centre/club in Tubingen while visiting my cousin at the weekend

Today I'm working at the Cinema Museum in Kensington, which I've never been to before. What an incredible venue!

Following on from my poorly spelt first post, my book is now available in most bookstores! A comic book for young readers about the experiences of child refugees shop.scholastic.co.uk/products/The...

Hello everyone! Nive to be here. As I've remove most of my artwork from Twitter I'll be posting it here instead. This is from a healthcare Conference in London earlier this week
