I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today. lewstringercomics.blogspot.com/2025/10/ron-...

I've not read much stuff drawn by Boichi yet, but the little I have read made me love his work. These great faces are from Dr Stone vol 1. I need to read more!

One of the reasons I hate gen AI is that I can't trust photo ref any more. I've been trawling Pinterest to find some fun photos to do practise drawings of, but I find myself second guessing every image, is it real or not?

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

It's that time: ShortBox Comics Fair is here! Over 140+ all-new, original comics created by artists from around the world, gathered exclusively in one place -for October only! And it's all online, with all digital comics: no shipping, no waiting, no travelling. www.shortboxcomicsfair.com

At some point in my late teens I realised perhaps I should be proud I'd never smoked a cigarette. My fancy pink lungs never once clotted up with tar. Now in my 40s I still never have. Why break the streak? Well I'm starting to think ChatGPT might be one like that. Keep our brains nice and pink.

My newest book 'Toby and the Pixies: Pixie Pandemonium' is out NOW! I'd normally link to where you can buy it in the Phoenix shop but it has already SOLD OUT, so here's a link to Blackwells instead: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Work in progress 🙂

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

Any kid interested in comics this will kill it for them. The rest will dabble and move on to the next ai bauble as soon as they’ve made the same generic pap as everyone else.

I adored the books he made with Janet when I was little, and this first year of being a Dad, one of the great pleasures was rediscovering their work anew. My daughter loves turning the pages, as I marvel at how brilliant these books remain. What a huge loss. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist

“I think there is a new sort of ambient animosity towards the AI systems. AI companies have speedrun the Silicon Valley trajectory.”

The British automotive industry contributes £22bn to the UK economy. The creative industries contribute £124bn. Fucksake. Stop AI copyright theft.

On hatred.

Having my book stolen by Meta to train their large language models doesn't feel great. But it does present me with another opportunity to declare how much, and how vehemently, I hate everything that Big AI's snake-oil peddling hypemen stand for. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

I was horrified to find EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY BOOKS had been plundered without my consent by the Meta AI book thieves. It's a violation & is wrong in every way.

She wrote a banger of a letter outlining Microsoft’s active complicity in Palestinian genocide, it’s reproduced in the article and it’s really worth a read

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

It’s hard to overstate how sickening the concept of ‘opting out’ is here. It’s like having to go to individual criminals and fill out a form to opt out of their right to steal from you. Artists are *already* at a disadvantage trying to enforce their rights over their work against big companies.

In surely unrelated news, the Tony Blair Institute was given $200m by the owner of Oracle, a major AI player.

So. We're a bunch of artists and writers surrounded by AI gouging out the soul of Hayao Miyazaki for clout, and triple-fried ghost-written celebrity "novels" written by people who hate writing for people who hate books. I can think of no better reason to dig your heels in. Create out of spite.

Join us and artist @abbybulmer.bsky.social for a very special comics workshop for young artists next month! Tickets are just £2.50 per child — spaces are limited and going very fast so do book early. Book your ticket now at urmstonbooks.co.uk/comics-workshop

I feel constantly angered by AI bullshit lately, my negativity towards it is burrowing into my bones and I hate it. Who do these companies think they are that they can just steal our work? Do they have no shame? And why do the people using it seem so oblivious to the very obvious ethical issues?

The positive argument for AI is consistently that it allows us to make zero effort to improve ourselves.

Here's a tiny sneak peek at what I'm working on at the moment for Legacy series 3! So excited to be able to show more of it in the coming months!

Me and countless other authors today…😂

I was a bit slow on the uptake, but The Phoenix have now announced what I've been working on for the past few months! I'm so excited for Legacy to return for it's third series so that we can finally conclude our story in epic fashion!

QRP with your fanart!
