📣 Available from 1 April 26 📣 Hey Bluesky! For the first time in six years I have a gap in my schedule. Available for writing gigs, so please share 🙏 I specialise in middle grade and adult SFFH, working with LEGO, Pratchett Estate, Cartem, BHP + more [email protected] Www.garychud.com 🙌

Also crucially we get paid when libraries buy our books! There is nothing to be sorry about ever in borrowing a fave author’s books from a library! It is one of the few “everybody wins” situations in life!

Hey beautiful people of Bluesky! I'm looking to shore up the next few months of #Comic lettering work! So, if you or someone you know needs a letterer, I would really appreciate it if you send them my way! #ComicBooks #ComicArt robjonesletteringblog.wordpress.com

Also, the comic strip fiction category has found “27.8% growth in 2025, and it now occupies a fifth of the Top 50, as well as accounting for nearly a quarter of its sales.”??? Flipping YES PLEASE 🤯

It’s maybe not the point, but it warms my heart to see the word ‘comics’ being used here rather than ‘graphic novels’

Looking for a job #PortfolioDay

I’d love to do a cover for you. Have a look at my samples and contact me if you’re interested. I do good work!

With the publication of Comic Book UK’s “Vision for growth” white paper today – essentially the blueprint for everything the newly-formed trade association plan to do going forward – Mark Fuller, its Chief Executive outlines their strategy: downthetubes.net/game-on-why-...

We received an outpouring of messages, both publicly and privately, about the loss of 404 Ink, and questions on what could be done, so we would really *love* if any literary orgs or publishers would like to talk more about donating further bursaries. Email or DM us! www.404ink.com/blog/publish...

Excited to have my freelance typesetting services offered on a new platform that doesn't ask me to hide the fact I also run 404 Ink for bizarre reasons (hi, Reedsy)! bookbindr.com/freelancer/l...

Thank you squad 🥳🥳

TBubble haul. Lovely weekend chatting with folk.

See ya soon @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social !

Just wrapped up one of my current series gigs and would LOVE to take on something to fill that gap!

www.brokenfrontier.com/thought-bubb... Did an interview with @brokenfrontier.bsky.social about what people might expect from the Portfolio Reviews @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend, whilst trying to mention as many community initiatives as possible.

Day job discourse! Over 60 published works and most days I do media and comms for Scottish Water, 9-5. I recently dropped 2 days per month for comics which has been amazing. I’d love to do comics full time, but for now I’m enjoying the ride and the safety net Scottish Water provides.

Two new LEGO comics written by me in stores now! 🥳🥳

Looking for coloring work with a Dec/ Jan start! #comics Here's a list of my previous publications:

Booked up for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social - who else is going? I’ll be down as a punter, looking forward to catching up with friends old and new!

The first comic series I worked in comes to an end. Check the link to catch your copy of the 3rd issue or the complete series! 🎃🎃🎃

Announcement 📣 The last chapter of EVERY LAST ONE, my supernatural serial killer thriller, is available on Kickstarter! If you’re new to it, no sweat, we have all three chapters available as part of a special early bird deal (till 5 Nov). So excited for readers to finish the story. 🙏

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

A new age of fear comes to Neo Tokyo 👻 Killtopia: Phantoms issue #1 is funding on Kickstarter NOW! Our award winning cyberpunk comic series continues as an elite police unit tries hunts a mass mind hacker Help us hit our goal by bagging a copy here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bus... Shares = ❤️

Amazing.

When you’ve had a bad day 🎵 Launching the final Kickstarter of my supernatural serial killer thriller next week!

In 2011 I was Chris Redfield for Halloween. The good old student days. What’s everyone’s fav costume?

Boss fight.

On my last holiday I became a person that wears a bucket hat. How do we feel about this, Bluesky?

Just in time for Halloween, a #comic road trip around the spookiest places in #Scotland. www.kickstarter.com/projects/max...

This was class 🔥

The sun rises over Neo Tokyo. Check out our award-winning cyberpunk comic series Killtopia. Our sequel hits Kickstarter Fri Oct 31st More at our official site below👇

Had a dream they remade Spaced and it was terrible. I loved that show as a spotty teen and revere it today. I wanted to have a flat, make comics, drink tea, go to the pub like Tim. A very simple aspiration from a 15 year old.

Aliens documentary that’s nearly five hours long? Yes please.

Filming Kickstarter promo today. The absolute worst part of the gig 😅

Can you spot the comics? Interesting to see our wee niche medium sneaking into big chain shops. This is the WHS Smith in Glasgow central. Long may the growth continue!

Now emerging from an Elden Ring malaise. So glad I gave this game a shot. Unbelievable. The fight with Radahn is probably my favourite gaming moment.

Bosses, am I right? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow, thank you for this lovely review! Pre-reg for full collection: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gar...
