Read the Griff Gristle collection by @robjoneswrites.bsky.social, Mike Sambrook and @rorydraws4.bsky.social, and felt the sea rippling in my hair. Fun concept, swimming in gooey horror visuals and crusty ocean adventures. Good stuff.

Soon!

September 1st. The Crusty Fisher Punk rides again. From @rapiaghi.bsky.social @rorydraws4.bsky.social and myself, Griff Gristle Vol One is now ready to go! New tales. A huge selection of pin ups and the whole of the first arc of Griff, all in one place. www.kickstarter.com/projects/169...

Oh, HAI everyone. You'll see @rapiaghi.bsky.social Liam Hill and myself at Tbubs this year under our names...and not Madius. But we're still Madius... Simple, right?

And yet more from the TBub24 stack. This fine horror/ere collection from @rapiaghi.bsky.social, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social and various others was fine (gruesome) entertainment. The two tales with the guy oblivious to, and inadvertently killing, a couple of eldritch threats were standouts for me.

Mr @rapiaghi.bsky.social just brought to my attention that 6 (HOW!?!) years ago, when @rorydraws4.bsky.social, Mike & I were running the Endless Voyage kickstarter, we had possibly the greatest backer ever. If you're out their POOP OFFICE, we love you still, we cherish you & hope you're thriving.

This one goes out to the Poop Office.

Doing things differently this @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social. Madius Comics will be there, but we're flying under the banner of our names instead. So find me, @rapiaghi.bsky.social and Liam Hill there under that instead of Madius!

Lock up your bins, Harrogate. The boys are back. And this time, we're bringing a trolley.

Me and @rapiaghi.bsky.social will be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this November. Im looking forward to the inaugural Trolley Derby. And pulling @fraserc69.bsky.social round like some feudal lord.

Cover artwork for Claret 4 done. Also got an article on the Abominable Snowman in from one of the writers yesterday, so gotta get that laid out tonight. It’s getting there!

Now that TFTQ is officially dead, here’s the page again that myself, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social and @rapiaghi.bsky.social did. Would love to see some of the other pages folks did.

Pre-order will go from Feb. 5th -12th. Putting them live at 8:30 AM GMT tomorrow.

Here is an unused thing I did for Adam and MBD (back in 2018/19 I think). We ended up using something else for a t-shirt in the end. I don't think I've ever shown this.

Some old cheery characters from a few years back.

That’s odd, because I’m currently inking & colouring BRAND NEW GRIFF GRISTLE PAGES!

Rather excitingly, I am currently lettering up BRAND NEW GRIFF GRISTLE PAGES! @rorydraws4.bsky.social has absolutely blown this story out the water, and @rapiaghi.bsky.social and I have crafted a soulful, sad and serene little tale in this. Really proud of this short story. Can't wait to show all!
