Good morning, posted this on insta yesterday. Making comics again. Here's some non-spoilery world-building WIP art of a prime minister being possessed by a Sauron-like Dark Lord!

Flatting comic pages for a new project this year. All about heavy metal and things! Not that you could tell from the photo...

Air Bud: Puppy Emeritus (2026)

So I just watched the Masters Of The Universe trailer and... I dunno it looks fine, I suppose? Only thing I know for certain is that Skeletor's looks is just giving me Money Supermarket flashbacks. Which probably isn't a good thing...

As someone who went to Bradford Uni, but is from Leeds, I concur. ... I might be bias, though...

It's a new year full of fresh possibilities! Let's make some more comics!

What's worse, everyone? Christmas adverts or the new year's gym/ dieting/ general resolution ones? Somehow I think the new year's ones just edge it out. I've spent most of December mostly tired or binging either beer or food. What makes you think I'd want to do any of the self improvement right now?

Been an odd year in some respects. Did some acting on an independent feature film. Got three things in print. An art book, a comic I've been wanting to get in print for a while and some art for a book a friend of mine wrote. And got to table with some lovely people at this year's TBubz!

My best comic of 2025 is YOUR comic. The one/s you made this year. Wether you were published by the big 2, indie/self published, showed it to friend or to no one at all, YOU made something. You CREATED something. This is commendable, worth championing & makes the world a better place. You win.

Last weekend's @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social Festival was awesome! Had a great time and I was actually helping table with the lovely folks at @leedscc.bsky.social! I'm tired now, so here's my haul photo:

Had a good night at the @leedscc.bsky.social's and @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social's Pints and Pencils ... I may have drawn a terrible hilarious version of an Absolute monster from a prompt... :

LCC's second anthology got a review! And I did a thing in it! Go check it out!

Been making comics again! An actually full print copy of Loiterers! Super pleased!

Now I know Ninja Sex Party did a song about this very thing. Who knew they were so wise to the ways of romance?

Not doing any sort of daily prompt challenge this year. Not much time for things like that atm. Anyway, here's something bigger I'm working on between projects, or at least as warm up/ cool down stuff. Gonna colour this too.

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!
