Does anyone have recommendations for external express keys to use with the Wacom/tablet? I got a touch Cintiq and it's entirely useless with Mac (apparently much better on windows). So I need something to help me quickly pan/zoom/a few hot keys etc. Can't stress enough how useless the touch is.

Got a blu ray/dvd player for Christmas & so I’ve dusted off my giant dvd wallet. First film was Hitchhikers Guide To The galaxy. Which I remembered enjoying but what I didn’t remember was the incredible amount of design that went into it. It’s so beautiful! Jim Henson puppetry and everything!

Just a heads up, as I wasn't aware, but you can very easily change your default browser to another service in the Settings. Same for the iPhone settings too. It's taking some getting used to; not having the results I expect. But that's probably a good thing & will make me use my brain more

I am pleased to inform you that my freakish AI-inspired nativity scene card is back in stock 👼🥐

Picked up a physical copy of this at Thought Bubble this year and I'm excited to sit down and actually learn about a subject I (ashamedly) have almost no knowledge of.

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 🙏

This one affects me and my wife, so would appreciate the effort it takes to fill this in. Unsurprisingly they won't be dissuading those rich folks, who can simply buy their way in.

I lost my voice at the weekend and it’s still a bit croaky, so I thought I’d make the most of it. My new Space Captain book and all the others are available on my store Https://chrisbaldie.etsy.com

Any nearby pals want several hundred (?) self sealing A5 bags and some cardboard mailers? Free to a good home. Feels wasteful to chuck

Including a book by @chrisbaldie.bsky.social with one of the greatest cover quotes in the history of comics...

If you see these two adventurers tomorrow at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, ask Gandalf The Generous for some help and you just might get a treat.

A gentle reminder that: 1. I am still alive 2. I will be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year Table C23 in the 2000Ad hall. Got my new shiny and smooth Space Captain books.

I’ve only got 10 copies, come grab one!

I've heard chatter on the @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social forums saying that they are calling this collection of 6 tables in the 2000AD hall "flavour town". And while I might not agree with the naming, I can't disagree with the vibes. I've also heard my new Space Captain book will be available.

You gonna be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this year? I'll be up the back of 2000 AD Hall with my besties @willmorris.bsky.social (c22) and @aimeelockwood.bsky.social (c21) Find me at table C23, where I'll have my brand new Space Captain: The Collected Edition!

Listen we all make mistakes and you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it. Unless you print your own name wrong in the very first page of your newly printed comic. Then you should be roundly condemned by your loved ones and cast out into the rain.

If, like me, you are stuck in the hellscape that is Adobe and they've just sent you an email saying your plan is increasing, check to see what plan you are on... I never subscribed to the "pro" plan which just has a bunch of shitty AI options built in. If I swap to "standard" I'll save nearly £200.

I received one of those really annoying AI generated emails praising my books and how they want to "help" get it out to a wider audience. Except it wasn't even my book. Was so confused. But after a little search it turns out there's an author out there called Christopher Baldi. Stupid fuckin AI

Interesting to see pundits discuss Labour’s struggle to manage the working class and liberal graduates without realising that since uni fees, aka Graduate Tax, and the 2008 recession, these aren’t mutually exclusive. We have a uni-educated working class. Middle class hacks just haven’t realised it.

I had a long rant about Apple Music's truly atrocious desktop UI/UX. But instead, let's talk Bandcamp recommendations as it's Bandcamp Friday and more of your money can go directly to the artists. My I suggest one of my all-time Top 10's - facingnewyork.bandcamp.com/album/get-hot Gimme yours.

I've been practicing how to hand cut dovetail joints recently, so I set myself the project of making a little dispenser for rolls of poop bags. It was entirely stupid, flawed, janky at some angles... but I'm very proud. Held on the wall by a little French cleat if anyone is interested.

My beloved Wacom MobileStudio 2017, is being forced into retirement by windows. Plus it’s slowly grinding to a halt. What’s the best pen displays these days? I don’t need the computer element of this type anymore, just something to plug into a Mac. Any good trustworthy reviews online?

Thanks to everyone who backed the book and reposted all my boring posts! No one enjoys a kickstarter spam fest, least of all those who have to actively make them. So I appreciate every one of you that repeatedly helped me along the way. Do I want an even 200, sure. will I get it, who knows!

We're almost there. Why not download issue 1 for free. Dip your toe in the icy waters of Foran 4. Explore a new world... www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hnvyx... Then back the kickstarter here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr... Who knows... when it ends tomorrow, maybe the world will be a brighter place

Good morning/evening/dusk/sleeptime It's a new week. A kickstarter emerges from the weekend. It has been alive for 28 days. But it shall cease to exist in just 45 hours. You can take a bite out of it. You can consume the kickstarter. I'm tired. www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

This is the last day for the Murderbot + Witch King and my other fantasy Humble Book Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... We've raised $89,000 in donations for World Central Kitchen so far!

For those who won't donate to individuals, please consider donating here to keep Gaza connected to the outside world via local journalism.

This was a lot of fun to do, and I think I even spill a couple of fun facts I haven’t discussed before about the making of Space Captain. Thanks, Kristian!

Last chance folks. Great story by a brilliant chap

Know someone in your life who loves 242 pages of sci-fi cartoon goodness??? Back the book and get it delivered in time for Christmas! www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

A great collection of books at the carboot sale today. Particular big fan of Tomatoes.

I can’t recommend watching this documentary enough. It opens up so much about the movie, but is also sad and inspiring in equal measures

I was never a big fan of Z, J or Q as letters, but I’ve grown to like them over time. I’m consonantly evolving.

Last night’s doodle. A modern gritty reboot of space Captain.

Good grief this looks nice. I've been trying to replicate this sort of style for my next book, and it's just nowhere near as beautiful as this looks to be. I'll be backing it for sure. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sec...

What's your thoughts on this: On the French version they removed all of my borders on my panels. Now, I really love panels. I love hand drawing them (digitally). They make a piece feel instantly "comic-y" to me. I don't dislike the borderless version, but they also never discussed it with me.

Look at how cute this Robert book is though. The design is so naive(in a good way?) and charming.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

The book, yes! Me, no.

Space Captain: Captain of Space Kickstarter is still going! Get 242 pages of glorious technicolor comic all for the discounted price of £18. Once the kickstarter is done it'll be roughly £22. (Digital copy is only £12!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/chr...

You not sure about backing the kickstarter of a 240+ page book? I get it. That’s a big commitment, you’re busy people! Why not read the entire first 34 pages (chapter 1 of 6) for free instead. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hnvyx... Download it, share it around. Vandalise it if you must.

In MEANWHILE... we take a look at the collected Space Captain: Captain of Space from @chrisbaldie.bsky.social and Michael Park which is running a fantastic Kickstarter campaign right now ^KB wp.me/p8WCuG-3M0

I had to draw our house for a thing, so I decided to crack out the old isometric style I used to play around with a lot. It's fun to have that constriction cause you can bang this out in about an hour.
