A beautiful dream that keeps us going. Second hand pickup.

A bit of copy editing here to prevent awkwardness. The first sentence is about a statement: “My parents said…” The second is about a historical condition: “that was before”. Therefore, the word “that” can be misconstrued with the act of saying rather than the place of origin….(1/2)

Doing God’s work this Saturday morning.

Lads, Harry Hill is a legend

Baby swan realizing the herd left without him 😭🦢

I’m going to be on Naga Munchettys Book Club today chatting about comics. Come and listen? 12-1 on BBC Radio 5 📘📕

One reflection on indie and small press comics: there is absolutely demand for new and novel books. Increasingly, I’ve found this more from a general crowd. Conventions can indeed stand on comics alone but we need more cons like this and regionally.

Threw on a Justice League dvd for fun only to find the main plot revolves around the paranoia over a totalitarian Justice League driving Lex to become President and fuelling an arms race between the two.

Congrats to all involved.

Final hour of Day 2 of Portsmouth Comic Con and new and returning readers are snagging copies of London Horror Comic.

Morning sunshine

Saw Rose of Nevada: high-brow take—lush visuals & sound try to mask a thin story about memory and guilt. Low-brow: like Back to the Future if Marty went back in time just to sit in class and brood about being stuck there.

Things observed on the night walk. A quack-op-alypse.

Wind down from the non comics drawing before starting comics pages. Wanted to try out the pen don’t think I have ever read much Spider-man but his early villains are really cool

Do not pander. Do not dumb down. Trust your audience to be smarter than you. Trust them to be curious. Don’t erase your own voice for spurious bowing down to factors that bring nothing to the stories you need to tell. #Writing

Bound by ideas and history, even rust tells tales.

New Year sun burns the frosted memories of last year in final attempt for us to misstep. The way ahead is warm and lit for you.

Not wishing to bore with repetitious mentions, but my novel, BOOK THIRTEEN (written as A William James), is now available via Audible. My two LEEPUS novels will follow in due course, once my vocal cords are restored. www.audible.com/pd/B0G5D2FX4...

The sun is shining. Look up.

We wake shivering into one of those corpse grey mornings that December so enjoys. The dreams of the city have yet again leaked into our sleeping. In reverie it imagined Hackney and Haringey turned into a vast lake and we know to expect TFL diversions until at least noon.

Beautiful

Page of a thing from something I’m cooking with artist Adam Jakes - coming 2026.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi. I’m David Southwell. I do Hookland. For me the industrial past holds more horror in its soot cicatrix because it’s not only root of the modern ecological terror we find ourselves living through, but as I working class writer I would still echoes as intergenerational trauma.

This view speaks to me deeply.

Good people.

Incredible Hulk piano tune plays for us all returning from @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social

Well done everybody. Surreal it’s over so soon. Amy and Martha are the best. Will write more when it’s processed in my brain.

We wake to mornings of cold magic. Exhale dragon-breath, crunch frost-frozen leaves as we walk. The year is dying. We feel it as rush of ghosts, a shivering that foretells the blade of ice upon its neck. No wonder this is the season where folklore burns bright. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Folklore
