If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

This is today! I’m all set up. The weather is actually very nice but you should still come.

No plans this weekend? Live in Edinburgh? 🚨 I'll be tabling at the Auld Alliance Comics Festival! 🗓️ Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 10am-3pm 🆓 Free entry 🎨 I'll have comics, zines and prints! 🖌️ There will be talks, signings, and live drawing! And, crucially, the weather will be bad. Come be indoors and say hi!

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

One of the things I love about drawing is that it changes how you see the world. You notice more. Take time to observe. Same with writing. It helps me order my thoughts. Listen to others. Pay attention. Doing these things has never been about the end result or the quality. It’s about the process

All set up at Glasgow Zine Fest. I’m at the back of the hall. Come say hi!

In light of Panantir being given UNLIMITED access to our NHS data, here's a piece I wrote and illustrated about Palantir, Thiel, data exploitation, surveillance, and the 1992 film Sneakers: grave-offerings.ghost.io/no-more-secr...

Eleven years ago the UK was number one on this list, leading Europe in LGBTI rights. It's now 22nd. The list is deliberately relational - countries can lose places simply by standing still while others progress - but the UK has actively harmed LGBTI rights as well. It is a shameful legacy.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Remember Paul Feig saying that the good ideas are down the bottom of any list you make of twenty great ideas in twenty minutes. The sensible rational top ones will all be claimed by other people by the time you get round to actually doing them. The weird runts at the bottom belong totally to you.

Wow, I can't believe Labour's tactic of yelling "DON'T VOTE FOR THESE GREEN CUNTS, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, VOTE FOR US, WE HATE IMMIGRANTS IN A BETTER WAY THAN REFORM!" hasn't led to them keeping all their council seats.

So glad everyone in the media and Labour spent the past week attacking the Greens and not Reform. Refusing to focus on policies and ideas and how we make our lives better. Really good for the country that was. Real nuanced, enlightened debate.

Based on the past week, I think it is clear that Labour, the Tories, the media, and the police don't care if you vote Reform. But they DO care if you vote Green. They're happy for a vote of fear and hate. They're scared of hope.

Register to vote in the Eisners!

This looks exciting. I'm working on a small game zine in my free time and I'd love to see what Diamond Disk is.

The Comics Cultural Impact 2025 census is out. This graphic says a lot. Graphic novels are a booming, expanding industry. 1/5 creators say they earn the majority of their income from comics. 89% say they earn less than the minimum wage. More here: ukcomicscreators.org.uk

“For too long, the UK has been content to be a digital colony of Silicon Valley. We are ceding both economic value and strategic autonomy because we lack a coherent plan to stand on our own two feet.” 🗣️ @victoria-collins.bsky.social on the cross-party warning over the UK's dependence on US tech.

New illustration for @currentaffairs.bsky.social! The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon. A topic close to my heart. Really enjoyed trying to capture a kind of Lynchian dread with the stage curtains and spotlight.

don't focus on making it pretty or anatomically perfect or as detailed as possible. just focus on communicating your ideas! the most important parts of comics imo are pacing/timing, and getting the point across legibly, not beauty. beauty is a choice you can make, certainly, but it's just extras

Comics are hard, take ages, no-one respects them, they barely make you any money, and you should still make them.
