Thanks to everyone who bought a copy - we're planning to sell them through PrimeTimeToyz and TFNation later in the summer.

Sold 20 copies of the fanzine at TFUKcon! All proceeds to Mary's Meals. My thanks to Moff, Luke, Lucan (especially Lucan, thanks for the sales pitch), Jim Stafford, Dave Cousens, and just everyone for being awesome! @davidcousens.bsky.social @jimstafford.bsky.social @lucanstees.bsky.social

The only thing I bought at TFUK Con were these repro Turbomaster missiles. So worth it! The boys look even more handsome by the day.

My artwork for the next edition of my “Universe” ‘zine. (IYKYK!) I would really appreciate it if you shared it.

Now that Starbucks have started describing things as having 'soft launch energy', I've decided the world is too far gone and we just need to burn it all down.

All set up at TFUK Con. Just to the left (or right) as you come down the stairs.

Right, car is packed – time to fuel up and hit the road for TFUK con '26! See some of you tomorrow!

I'm down in the spiritual home of Big Robots (Birmingham, obvs) next weekend for my first TFUK Con. I can squeeze in one or two commissions for pickup at the show if anyone is going. Drop me a DM, first come first served etc.

Me, in 2019 looking at the angle of the waste pipe for our new toilet: 'Is that really enough drop? Angle looks a bit flat to me'. Me in 2026 unblocking the toilet for, literally, the 300th time: 'Shoulda made them sign something...' 🪠🚽

The 'food' available at my new local Indian Restaurant...

Fanzines all printed and looking good.

Now we're getting the Cha Cha slide mixed in with What Time is Love and I no longer know which way is up.

At a roller disco for the first time in 35 years. They're playing Haddaway. It's quite the moment.

Well that's fucking brutal. Not even going to ID me.

Absolutely dying at Disney have making up a whole new arbitrary screen standard because Dune is squatting on the IMAX screens for Doomsday's release date. Truly pathetic. deadline.com/2026/04/disn...

My community service for the month – if you're looking to get started with some great robot artists, here's my old starter pack from a ways back: go.bsky.app/Baofx6p

Here's my commission price list for Macc-pow in June. I'll be tabling on Saturday 27th and you can pick up any time during the day (or drop me a message if you'd rather pick up Friday or Sunday and I'll see what I can do). DM or email [email protected] to order!

Really excited to table (as a guest no-less) my first non-robot convention at this 2026's Macc-pow (maccpow.co.uk). If you're local to Macclesfield (or even if you aren't!) it would be great to see you there. I'll be taking some commissions for collection, so if you can make it, get in touch!

Never posted this one I don't think – unused concept for issue 2 of Last Bot Standing.

I know this is probably going to make me sound like a lazy letterer who doesn't want to do their job, BUT not every action NEEDS a sound effect.

Just got back from Akira in IMAX and now I'm going to make @drbrainstorm.bsky.social put an Akira bike slide in the next Thunderclash book.

Also, buy my stuff, did I mention? LOOK AT ALL THE COOL JUNK I AM FLOGGING.

Never posted the physical version of this Drift comission! It came out right good it did.

ALSO I've been having the MOST fun SHAMELESSLY ripping off Messrs Watterson and Schulz for some Li'l Turbos backup strips in the next issue of Thunderclash Goes Bananas (The upcoming 'Hunt for Hyperdrive'). Here's a sample!

Alright, let's go double duty, I've got the bandwidth (just about). Hello #portfolioday, I'm Jim, I draw robots, I draw spooky things, ideally in the form of 'comical books'. Maybe even both in the same story, it's your dime. Here, as is traditional, are four pictures to back up my claims.

Hello #portfolioday – comic book letterer here ready and willing to work on YOUR next book. Drop me a DM if you've got a letterer-sized gap in your life.

I love Lower Decks so much. The books are awesome too, 100% worth a look if you enjoyed the show.

THAT SAID, while the old art career might be in the metaphorical toilet, my band has two gigs in the diary this year and we're sounding brilliant. So that's something. Not a financial something, but still, a good something.

Ah, portfolio day rolls around again, just in time to make me feel bad about my art and lack of any meaningful success. I really should get off the Internet.

Imagine being fifteen now and growing up with kindles and comics on a tablet. OF COURSE you'd be instantly obsessed to come across an old marvel book from the early 80s, it would be a revelation. The tactility, the interaction, the ADVERTS... glorious. I could understand a sea change for sure.

#portfolioday - the closing image to accompany the script reading at TFNation 2024. Pulling rank I insisted this was how the story needed to end. One of those times you know you are 100% right and are vindicated by the reaction

#portfolioday I'm James, I draw robots and monsters and have been known to draw humans. Contact in bio.

Sketchin' while they're in my thoughts.

do you ever feel like "you know how bonkers good I at comics, what's wrong with you imbeciles?? do you hate money???" but you can't say that because it makes you look conceited

Artists, show us your red art 🩸 Well, it's red-ish

Still taking pre-orders on this.

Clean lines for my Target: 2006 poster. I painted in the propeller blades and explosions at the coloring stage. Poster still up for pre-sale on my Kofi. ko-fi.com/s/6012f8e5db

Some of my favorite pages from the last three years of Thunderclash Goes Bananas (that I've drawn, the rest is even better...) We're back again this year, bigger and better, even more special guests, some new faces, and even some old returning team members. It's shaping up beautifully!

Celebrating 20 years of the iconic Target: 2006 story arc from Marvel, I'm opening pre-orders for my TFTM homage poster. Available in A3 and A4 and shipping this summer! ko-fi.com/s/6012f8e5db ko-fi.com/s/8b4fbaefe6

This is but a small sample of what awaits you in this year’s book. Thunderclash: Hunt for Hyperdrive will be available at TFN 2026!

Updated version of my most tattooed piece (updated because the old one is like looking at embarrassing baby photos!). People still keep getting the old one inked though!

This was the mascot I designed for Collection toys. See if you can guess all the characters he's assembled from...
