Hello Monday! First orders of 2026 have gone out earlier today! Also placed an order to restock sold out greeting cards along with other busy gubbins. Looking for a greeting card for your fellow nerd person, then head over to my Etsy store here: rbillustrations.etsy.com

Finally got both ML Arcees out of their boxes and by gum they are nice!

This sore throat has out stayed its welcome and I wish it to nob off now.

And so the long Monday begins….. (Happy New Year!)

Telly shows of 2025 that I enjoyed and you should too darn it! *wangles pointed finger* IT: Welcome to Derry (Seriously this was the bits) Runners up Andor Alien:Earth Ta.

Not exactly managed to watch all of the films that I wanted to in 2025, but below are the ones that I massively enjoyed. The Phoenician Scheme Predator: Badlands Weapons Frankenstein Bring Her Back Eddington The Long Walk The Roses Thunderbolts Mickey 17

Seeing a lot of reflective 2025 posts, so I’ll throw in my year review hat in. 2025 has been about health for me which resulted in a fair amount of life style changes where I’ll still need to do more in 2026.

Finally got my meat mittens on the prototype version.

Okay, I didn't know about this fact and by gum thats pretty cool. youtu.be/ocDvmJ1VSS4?...

Plan of action today. Nothing. Just nothing. Oh maybe some Doom: The Dark Ages Then nothing afterwards. Plan.

She’s a keeper.

Never easy to get your smart looking boy to pose right.

It's that time again! Merry Christmas everybody!

Wishing all my friends and followers a very happy Christmas! 🎄 Drink plenty, eat plenty, sleep plenty — you’ve earned it. You deserved it, you winners! 🍻🎁😴 #Transformers #Optimusprime #MerryChristmas

Art Vs artist 2025! #artvsartist25

Yesterday I finished drawing the last of the Autobot Micromasters, and thus decided this was a good place to stop work for Christmas. Four-ish days off, and then back at it with colours.

Last commission for 2025. Logo design for Green Man Paints on Instagram. Had fun ddesigning this. Looking for a new logo for your comic, socials, podcast, band, game, film ,etc. Hit me up here or [email protected] #Logodesign #commission

The 1988 Powermaster Optimus Prime box is just stunning. Bold, dramatic, and full of promise! We spent a good chunk of our recent minisode talking about just how special this packaging felt. Full festive minisode here --> www.patreon.com/posts/powerm... Who else still loves this box art? 🎄

Hoe?

Looks like Hot Rod wasn't the only Transformer to pay a visit to Hamley's in 1987. Behold Galvatron!👮🤖 TFRaw.com

Hey artists!! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!!

Predator 2 is a Christmas movie right?

Huge thanks to the Triple Takeover lads for recording my commissioned episode and nailing everything I feel about Powermaster Optimus Prime. You covered all the points perfectly. So many nostalgic vibes, especially remembering getting it as a Christmas gift when it was first released. Loved it.

Okay, I didn’t love it nor hate it. Kinda meh. Didn’t felt like an Edgar Wright film. Felt it was meant to be another film, but “The Running man” name was tagged to it just to get attention.

Full PMOP appreciation here --> www.patreon.com/posts/powerm... Thanks to our patron, @rbillustrations.bsky.social for commissioning this wonderfully festive topic 🎄

Well hot darn. welcome to Derry is pretty much the best TV series that I watched this year. Recommend if you haven’t seen it. youtu.be/tZcGRiD4yBI?...

MASSIVE apologies for the incessant updates: I've just assembled a BIG order for China (I'll give you deets where to order for those later), and I have 40 copies spare of my art book, ARTOBOT. It likely won't arrive with you before Crimmas, but here it is! nickrocheart.bigcartel.com/product/nick...

Hallo! #straighttoviddo #80sShop

COME! Join me!

Celebrating 39 years of one of the greatest animated films (for us Brits) from my childhood — an absolute classic that shaped so many of us. To mark the occasion, I’ve got a limited number of my official licensed prints available here - rbillustrations.etsy.com/listing/1865... #Transformers

#NowWatching The Monkey

#NowWatching Tron Ares

Here's some BTS knowledge: due to the difficulty of arranging the whole cast across different pages and artists for this year's @thunderclashcomics.bsky.social charity book, I ended up having to redraw a majority of my first page. I think it turned out better!

Got nowt to do on Sunday and in Alfreton? Well, I’ll be at the radical 80s Video Shop selling my retro gubbins! Don’t miss out!

I was planning to save this for an end-of-year post… but fuck it. Here’s something fresh, inspired by a single frame from Superman (2025) that got stuck in my head. #Transformers #OptimusPrime

#NowWatching Together

Predator by @rbillustrations.bsky.social #Predator

It’s like a bloody triple takeover in here!

Well it’s that time of year where I still got a fudge ton of films to watch. One Battle After Another Eddington Caught Stealing Together Bring Her Back The Monkey Sinners (half watched) Bugonia Ballerina Tron Ares What to start with eh?
