This is a new initiative at Thought Bubble, where the artist guests, most of whom themselves received and benefitted from portfolio reviews at Thought Bubble, pay it forward. Open to all levels, ages and styles (from kids to professionals), bring your best finished work for a 1:1 chat. Just turn up!

I'll be a guest at Thought Bubble in November- very exciting! See you there!

Some tips for this: - If you haven't got a portfolio, you can make 8 pages by mid Nov if you start now. - Just bring your finished work. - Print it out unless its a webcomic (crappy printing is better than no printing). - Think about your storytelling - A4 p/copies are fine. - Bring your questions.

I just released SHOOT FIRST QUESTION LATER: YEAR ONE, a 40-page, full-colour zine from my first year of photography, presented in chronological order, showing my growth as I search for my voice. I'm very proud of this collection and happy to be making zines again. www.edbrisson.com/store/shoot-...

@harryshearer.bsky.social I know that correlation isn't causation, but it surely *must* be the recent release of "Tap 2", and the increased (ahem) prominence of Derek Smalls, that's led to shortages in the Sainsbury's veg aisle today...??

That’s it Sainsburys, you tell him!

Poster. Chesley Bonestell. 1930.

My new single ‘Lover Don’t Come Around’ is out Fri 19 Sept! It takes me back to writing my debut Ancient Heart as a teen, with echoes of the early Beatles I grew up on. My new album ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’, is out Oct 10. Pre-save: TTikaram.lnk.to/LDCA

A term for someone with an overinflated sense of their own importance in Argentinian slang is Tarzan de maceta. It means “Tarzan of the flowerpot.”

Perhaps the world's greatest Tintinologist, Belgian author Philippe Goddin has died. In a career spanning more than 40 years, M. Goddin wrote more about the work and life of Hergé than perhaps any other person, doing so much to enhance our understanding of our specialist subject.

this is still the single greatest intro ever made for an animated series, an absolute masterpiece on every level

For folks who struggle with motivation, committing to making a comic also creates a framework for A: keeping you interested in the work (you're telling a story about characters you care about) and B: a deadline/end point to work to (write a script with X # of pages, work til all the pages are done)

Reminder that I’ll be back on the hunt for more work starting in November! If you’ll be in need of art for your project coming up, let’s chat! 🖥️ danenglish.art ✉️ [email protected]

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

‘This crucial access to the drug, which ultimately sets aside profit for people, is a bold move from a pharmaceutical company – but one that recognizes the desperate need to end the global HIV epidemic.’

‘They also found that myrmecophages have emerged across all three major divisions of mammal life, including marsupials and the egg-laying monotremes. “Things keep evolving into anteaters, somehow,” Vida says.’

'Gourds.' (1978) William Brooker enjoyed a long and successful teaching career, and among his students was Howard Hodgkin who described his mentor as 'the only real teacher I ever had ... he made one feel that painting was a very important occupation.'

This is a fantastic piece of research: @yolobirder.bsky.social has combed the “Tintin” albums and come up with identifications for the birds Hergé drew - where they appear, and what they are! It’s a great work of reference, and highly recommended!

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

J'ai eu la chance de participer au nouveau hors-série de "La Septième Obsession" consacré à Steven #Spielberg, partie 3 (1997-2022). J'y raconte les coulisses des "Aventures de #Tintin. Le Secret de la Licorne". #cinema @tintinologist.bsky.social @spielbergchron.bsky.social

🎀 A-MEOW-ZING NEWS! 🎀 I'm rolling out the pink carpet tomorrow morning at 10am with this brand new episode of #DrawWithRob. That’s right, the global icon of cuteness, Hello Kitty, is stepping into the studio - bow, paws, whiskers and all! Prepare to create something absolutely adorable...

2 of my favourite things are sending out parcels & being able to pay bills, so if you could all have a nose through my website & buy lots of things while I'm away for the next two weeks so I have lots to send off when I come home, that would be smashing 😘✨👍 shop.frankduffy.co.uk #art #printmaking

Continuing my Gipi fanboy-ing, he's been working on some kind of scifi comic. I very much want to read this. Anyone know what this project is?

Happy birthday to me! In 2021 I started to draw a nice summer pic of my ocs for my birthday every year. This year I sadly don’t have the capacities to create one and I truly miss it. Even more so a reason to enjoy the ones I already did!

Such a good cover

"Elégante au chapeau" : Germaine Remi (l'épouse d'Hergé), par le peintre Jacques Van Melkebeke. Huile sur panneau, 55 x 45,5 cm, 1942. Cette peinture a été vendue aux enchères à Gand, en 2022, pour seulement 500 euros. @tintinologist.bsky.social #Tintin #art #painting #Belgium #auction

Hergé s'est inspiré d'un article de Philippe #Labro (1936-2025) paru dans "Marie France" en 1957 pour imaginer "Les Pilules", devenu plus tard "Tintin et le Thermozéro". Un projet inachevé. J'y consacre un chapitre dans "Tintin au-delà des idées reçues". #booksky #Tintin @tintinologist.bsky.social
