Been drawing Splatterhouse fanart. For reasons. My amusement, that's the reason.

How we can de-radicalize young men #standup

Not posted in a while, or drawn owt that's not comics work. Let's change that, here's a Swamp Thing sketch! Drawn mostly from memory and slightly inspired by the Richard Corben version...

Happy birthday H.P. Lovecraft 🎂 🦑 #HPLovecraft

Physical Media Is Cool Again. Streaming Services Have Themselves to Blame Collectors new and old tell Rolling Stone there's nothing quite like the feel of holding your favorite art in your hands.

Attempted some digital painting and an album cover parody for this week's Summer of Ska thing. Anthrax's Fistful Of Metal cover parodied for a pic about Ska-metallers, Redeemon! Go listen to their awesomeness! Like a ska-cover of Metallica's Blackened!

Trying to get some Jack Kirby vibes in this incredibly late entry for my Summer Of Ska thing... Here's The Aquabats! If this works I'll post the lineart as a separate thing. I think the file for this was accidentally bigger than I thought...

I've been involved with creating things again! This time I've been the artist on a collection of short stories and poems called The Whitby Dreadful! Copies are available from either Amazon, various book shops in Whitby or from me!

Slowly clawing my way back to being on time with these prompts... Here's Random Hand! Go check out their stuff, especially the track I based this image on! Devil With A Microphone!

Another late Summer of Ska post! Mostly because I didn't anticipate this summer to be as busy as it has been... Anyway, enjoy the attempt at drawing JER of the YT channel, Skatune Network in my style! Go check out some quality ska covers by them!

Today's been a great day for #smallpressday! Got some awesome swaggage from the little celebration set up by @leedscc.bsky.social Absolutely fantastic day!

This Saturday! Sadly, I can't be there myself but some awesome local creators are going to be there selling their wares! I did manage to get some stuff down though and it'll be on the communal table! Pop along and celebrate some small press comics and things!

Wow, my first late post on this completely relaxed Summer of Ska thing... Meh, I've had a busy week, deal with it. Anyway, two days late, here's week 5! Voodoo Glow Skulls! I'd explain this, but I am tired.

Did a piece inspired, a bit, by the song Ghost Town by this week's prompt, The Specials! Yes, it's more screentone-y shenanigans... Shush I'm seeing what I can do with it...

Felt like drawing some TMNT-related stuff. Here's some fanart for The Last Ronin! Full coloured one, a screentone one and of course, the old line art. Might have gone a bit too dark on the colours...

Day early for this week's Summer Of Ska thing. This week was the Mad Caddies. Here's a take pn the album art for their album, 'Keep It Going'. Had fun with this, even if I need to practice how to make the finished piece look like a photo. And drawing Tubas/ Sousaphones...

Alright so, the new Predator: Killer Of Killers then... Damn good film! Also starting to realise I really really love that whole painted CGI thing that's happening right now. Definitely recommended!

This is Spinal Tap (1984)

Week two of my Summer of Ska drawing thing! This week's the turn of London-based 8-piece, The JB Conspiracy! Go give 'em a listen. Some lovely melodious ska with some fantastic hornlines! Anyway pictures!

You've been kidnapped/ The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Either I'll be rescued and they'll have turned it into some ridiculous race or challenge. Or I won't be rescued at all. Either way, it'll be ambitious but rubbish...

Should probably post here too, but anyway: Guys, I'm doing a big weird Seasonal drawing thing! Behold the Summer of Ska! 13 weeks, 13 bands. Gonna try do full colour pieces of anything I do for this. Here's the first one, Bite Me Bambi! Go listen to them, they're ace!

So, it's been a shit weekend. Fuck my job sometimes...So, let's do something better. Like making comics!

Speed lines...

Haven't posted in a while, so here goes: Gaaahhhhh, drawing bricks always takes ages......! God, I love making comics..

What has science wrought?!?! Who came up with Cheese Burger Pie??

I'll always support my LCBS, @okcomics.bsky.social They're awesome and always have an amazing variety of stock in. Would always recommend them over the bigger chains.

YES! Drawing is a skill, the more you do it, the better you get at it - I wish more people understood this and gave it a go

Kids today will never know how it feels to own a copy of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom taped off the TV at Christmas and you've watched it fifty times so you know the order of the adverts off by heart and you just flat-out watch them every time.

Ahhh, the joys of transferring all my music to a new MP3 player... No, not joy. The other thing.

... How the fuck did I come across a cover of Eiffel 65's Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Fleshgod Apocalypse of all bands? WTF, Spotify?

Been drawing Spider-People as a long, on-off warm up for other arty things...

Honestly I think a lot of the elder millennial depression comes from having been about 13 during the summer of ska and gradually coming to terms with the fact that was a blip not an evolution over the subsequent years.

Is it just me or is YouTube infected with some sort of spam ad from this same twatty tech bro-type trying to con me into using some ai bollocks? I keep saying "stop showing me this sort of shit" and yet I'm still seeing his incredibly punchable face popping up.

Alright so, last year I did a daft challenge in October by trying to draw stuff related to 31 random metal bands? Anyway, it's in print now and for sale! Complete with some extra content to pad out the page count. Woo!

So... I went ahead and put a print order for a short run of 'zines! I',LL probably try flogging these, see if it can fire me up to get more stuff in print...

Ugh... Trying to figure out bleeds for the 'zine thing...

So, I'm looking at doing a print run of those Rocktober illustrations I did last year in a little 'zine thing along with some extras. Would people be interested in buying something like that if I did such a thing? I mean, I'm going to do it anyway just seeing what sort of numbers I'd need...

Now let's see if this is any good...

Been a while since I drew something: Here's a Jeff The Land Shark! With some dying marker colours... Meh, still like it... #jeffthelandshark #marvelcomics

As a shelf-stacker, this time of year is usually chaos. Please be kind to anyone working retail, especially the people at the bottom. We are doing the best we can with what we've got. Patience is a virtue after all...

So, how about that new Superman teaser then? Looks like it's going to be ace! Though, I might be biased. As both a comic fan, and a James Gunn fan...

Received a lovely early Chrimbo pressies from a good friend of mine. Am looking forward to reading through this properly! I mean, I really dug the first film...

The Girl with the Sublime Tattoo (2011)

Ugghhh... Why is art so exhausting? I'm literally sat around in one place and after, admittedly 10 hours (yes I know shut up), working on things I am just knackered now. Still, cover's looking good though...

Back on with some nonsense involving making comics. And metal. I will see this through to print. I will see this through to print. I will... #makingcomics #comics

Ugh, long day... Awesome morning though, if a little unusual. Not everyday you get to pretend smash your head into a table. Acting is such a fun weird job... #acting #filmmaking #coveredinfakeblood

A) Looking forward to this. B) It’s my contention that Anna Readman is one of the best and most distinctive illustrators working in UK comics right now. As far as I’ve seen, she’s just incapable of putting a line in the wrong place. Go follow her on Instagram.

Obligatory Tbubz haul photo! So many good comics and so many lovely people, as always. Thanks for the great year once again, @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social

Well, couldn't get into @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social today. So, I had a quick mooch around some of the lovely comic shops in Leeds before heading home. Got tomorrow sorted at least. Also, well done @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social for selling out of both Saturday and Weekend tickets!
