Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day!!!

This is maybe the crown jewel of my Scooby-Doo collection: an Alex Toth character sheet for a background character and the "Phantom" from the new Scooby-Doo movies. I first became aware of him via Bruce Timm and dove into his work. A famously cantankerous genius, Toth is one of the greats.

Just signed up for another year of @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social – it still blows my mind that we can get a physical copy of a weekly anthology comic for kids in 2025. It would be worth supporting even if it wasn't also an awesome read.

"Every mystery we solve brings me closer to the realization that the only monsters in this world are pathetic old men trying to steal as much money as they can."

Remember him this way

My lettering is all OVER these wonderful books. A labor of love that is INDISTINGUISHABLE from a commercial release - if you love TF Animated, you need this in your lives.

The SECOND RUN of Transformers Animated: Bumble Prime physical copies are now available for anyone who couldn't make it to TFCon Chicago. Standard Edition - ebay.us/m/QGf1oV Expanded Edition - ebay.us/m/wSccOK Digital Versions - www.ko-fi.com/keyancarlile

Few more sketch cards from the past couple weeks, all heading off to the post now.

Updated commission prices for 2025

Today's Scooby treasure is a commission of my all-time favourite ship with a special guest appearance by my favourite villain, illustrated by best person @jlawrenceart.bsky.social. The teal walls and green, wonky door frame evoke strong Scooby-vibes. A triumph on all counts!

🚨 Only 16 days to go until TFNation Reading! Time for an old illustration that I done 14 years ago. This will be available in A4 at TFNation Reading! #Transformers #TFNation

I went for the Shaky cover, because he's a comics god. Worth backing just to stick it to (bad) Fraser alone.

Elita-One is calling the shots, but the Dinobots have other plans in this new issue of Transformers: ReAnimated - Departure of the Dinobots, Part 1. - www.transformersreanimated.com Written by Greig and myself. Cover art by @cwingsyun.bsky.social - #Slag #Grimlock #TransformersReanimated #Elita-1

It has been one thousand (1000) eight hundred (800) and fifty (50) three (3) days since #tftq was funded. And now Frazer Brown’s trying to copyright-troll another publication over it. Go back A1Deadline today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

It's possible that Ryan is actually *too* good and is a danger to himself and others.

New desk friends. G2 is definitely my happy place.

Few new followers so reintroduction time. I'm Jim, comic artist from the UK, mostly drawing robots (though spooky and monsters also appeal). You may know me from my cover to issue #10 of Skybound's Transformers series...

Good luck to everyone ready to participate in the #NationalSeance at 9:25! In celebration I've been coming up with some #Ghostwatch action figure ideas. Pitch in a concept and I might just draw it! Imagine THAT! #that #imagine

A 2nd print run is happening for physical copies so keep an eye on the ko-fi page in the link: youtu.be/u9L3ThyZY4g?...

TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED: BUMBLE PRIME COMIC I had the honor of working on this comic, an incredible project by Keyan Carlile and Marty Isenberg. So many talented creatives poured their love into this, now available to buy, links in next post. Please check it out! 1/2 #Transformers #Bumbleprime

Pre-orders for A4 prints (ko-fi.com/s/d4b6a1b087) and A3 posters (ko-fi.com/s/6e0747e1fc) of my Trypticon/Godzilla mashup are now live in my Kofi shop: ko-fi.com/jimstafford/shop

Live on Whatnot with a bit of Sketchcard art and colouring. www.whatnot.com/dashboard/li...

One of those 'I started so I'm going to finish it' ones. Very happy with how it came out!

Another PSA - if anyone likes original art and is on Whatnot, I'm streaming my art sessions most evenings. ~9.30pm UK, which I think is 5.30pm Central. www.whatnot.com/user/jimstaf...

Taking the kids to *checks notes* a K-pop demon hunters sing-along? Not seen said movie, have I made a terrible mistake?

Happy Halloween! Enjoy a couple of spooky short comics! Banana Spiders! Written by me, art & letters by @jimstafford.bsky.social!

“Alright Sweethearts, You Heard The Man And You Know The Drill! Assholes And Elbows!" #Aliens #Xenomorph #Halloween

*but not our Ikea cos it's one of the small ones and only sells tea lights and blueberry jam.

Did my first Whatnot stream last night to test out the software. Apart from it all being sideways it went quite well! I'm just going to be livestreaming me drawing some sketchcards and selling some art, all very chill. Follow me over here: www.whatnot.com/en-GB/user/j...

My bloody brilliant Ruckus card arrived from @jimstafford.bsky.social Thanks so much, buddy! I love him!

Boosting this print for the weekday audience.

Sketchcard update - most of the UK orders have gone out and should be with you. International going this morning and should be with you within a week or so! Thanks to everyone who snagged one!

Taking pre-orders now for prints of my colab with Ochopante – full 80s Wreckers team as recreated from the cover of TFUK issue 82. A4 and A3 available: ko-fi.com/s/b01fac1ad0 ko-fi.com/s/848e7a6098

Googling Hovercraft for no particular reason and realizing how much less of a thing they actually are compared to what being a kid in the 1980's lead me to believe.

I‘ll be auctioning off the rest of my sketch cards later for £10 over on Whatnot, some art etc. Nows your chance to get things dirt cheap! Maybe doing some live drawing etc! #WhatnotApp www.whatnot.com/s/qEBUM2iJ

You’ve heard of the Love Shack, now get ready for…

DAY 23: GRENDEL! Timelapse: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AKPqY1/ I created my own no-pressure daily drawing exercise named for my podcast, @twoheadednerd: #THNTOBER! @mattwagnercomics.bsky.social #Grendel #HunterRose #MattWagner #indiecomics #comics #fanart #digitalart #Comicart #DailyDrawing

are you between 16-30 and looking to get a leg-up into #comics? Comics Youth are running a free upskilling programme for marginalised creatives (16-30) interested in a career in the Comics Industry- check out their website for details; comicsyouth.co.uk/comics-decla...

An incredible art bundle in the post today from @jimstafford.bsky.social. Can’t get over how good they all look especially in-hand, thanks again!

Just gonna come out and say it. I don't think the optics of having a transformer called 'Race Master' are particularly good.

Final count. 79 sketch cards over 16 days. Hell of an inktober in the end!

Commissions for Reading TFN are open! Due to my current workload, I'm only able to offer head shots, but for the first time I will also be offering them in colour, too! £30 Black and white £50 colour Please either DM me here or send an email to [email protected] with the subject TFN25!

I was super happy to be asked back to letter the latest TF Animated book from Keyan Carlile. Bumper Prime is the best book yet - it's an insanely talented team.

Okay, turned out I wasn't quite done. Here's the last five, and now I'm DONE. What an inktober!

Right, I'm sending all these sketchcards out over the next couple of days, so this is my last call and then I'll shut up about them (for a while). These are the final few available. Let me know if you want one.

We roll on! Couple of fun IDW designs in here.

Ever wondered what it would look like if I pencilled a recreation of the cover to Transformers UK issue 82 and the mighty Ochopante (www.instagram.com/ochopante/) inked and coloured it? Wonder no further!

Shot a shot, as you sometimes have to do, however long said shot might be. Cross things for me please.
