FYI: The A1 Deadline Special KS ends in about 13 hours. They reached a few stretch goals and added pages, so besides the Milk & Cheese sticker as an add-on for backers, the special will have two M&C comics reprinted in color for the first time (besdies the previously mentioned M&C pinup). Huzzah!

A new larger size landscape painting has been added to my shop. A4 Oil pastel on toned paper. If you would like to find out more about this or any of my other work, please visit my shop today... folksy.com/find/item/85... #Landscape #bsnm #OilPastels #Painting #Artwork #ShopIndy #ChristmasGifts

Oh, go on, since it's the start of spooky season, I drew this for you

Blows my mind that Pulp have been around since 1978 (no jokes about them still wearing the same clothes since then too).

How to write for men.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars", "Star Trek", "Doctor Who", or "Transformers"

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

Looking at a pronoun labeller account, and this option made me laugh because in Glasgow this would mean a person who uses no pronouns at all:

Milestone in my Japanese learning tonight: I read a whole book in Japanese! It was a gripping tale of a hungry dog who stole some meat from a stall, ran away until he came to a river and then *spoiler alert* barked at his own reflection in the water, causing him to drop his ill-gotten gains.

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

A series of whodunnits where the sweet little old lady crime writer / amateur detective is actually the perpetrator each time, bumping off someone awful and framing someone equally bad. Miss Marple meets Dexter. We'll call it Murder She Wrought

This little mushroom landscape illustration with fairy toadstool fly agaric was added to my shop this week. A great gift idea for a lover for fairy tales or the magic of nature... folksy.com/find/item/85... #Mushrooms #FlyAgaric #Landscape #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #bsnm

Michael! We're watching Lost Boys, Michael. Come watch it with us, Michael. Michael!

My dad is so excited to see the @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s new Frankenstein, he ordered the artbook from the states. I couldn’t take him to the exhibition sadly. He’s a lifelong Frankenstein fan and made a few puppets and statues of him over the years

I saw a couple round our way, their kid was too young to go trick or treating, so they'd made up the pushchair to look like the Mystery Mobile and were going around handing out bags of sweets to the guisers. Lovely way to join in!

Kid's costumes look so fancy these days. No bin bag draculas or toilet paper mummies out there

Watching the original Christopher Lee Dracula movie. Lucy leaving her bedroom windows open so the vampire can get in was so me as a child. I knew vampires needed invited in, so I wasn't going to make it difficult for them

Getting older means not recognising any of the costumes the trick-or-treating kids are wearing *crumbles to a pile of dusty bones*

I've got my Halloween costume sorted! (Départ pour le Sabbat by Albert Joseph Pénot, 1910)

Pinksky is an interesting way of presenting your Bluesky feed, for those who are pining for the fjords of Instagram, but it is a little too slavishly beholden to that Insta interface. On a site with no algorithm, removing the ability to repost others' work also removes any chance of discoverability.

Can't sleep. I've tried everything: tossing and turning, scrolling through the news headlines, remembering past arguments, nothing is relaxing me at all!

Random doodles & drawing

When doing the alt-text for this one, I nearly wrote, "a skull, face on," but then it wouldn't be a skull anymore, would it?

Just posting this Master-piece (I warned you there'd be puns! You were warned!) to test out Pinksky

Quote your art with fire on 🔥

Appropriate for Halloween, I'm a sexy Dr Loomis. Like there's any other kind

I don't travel in the dark as much as I used to, so the train home from the east coast tonight puts me in mind of when I was young and got out more at night, when I didn't care if I never saw the sun again because I was going to live forever.

Real Sixth Doctor vibes from these shoes. Was briefly tempted, but realised the only clothes I have which would go with them is all my clothes at once

⭐️New⭐️ Today's theme on Folksy is owls! and a very good theme it is indeed. Here's my new barn owl drawing to join the party... folksy.com/items/8571840 #BarnOwl #Owl #OwlArt #Birds #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #TraditionalArtist #ArtFromScotland #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #bsnm

Laundry Night

This weekend is @tagsfest.co.uk at Fruitmarket in Edinburgh! Quindrie Press will have a small selection of books available. Attendance is free, so come check out some incredible self-published work, listen to some talks from experienced creators, or drop by the Board Game Zone for some tabletop fun!

I hope one of the stretch goals is the option to have a cassette sellotaped to the cover featuring the likes of Carter USM and Kingmaker. Definitely backing this one when payday comes! #A1Deadline Check out A1 DEADLINE SPECIAL by Dave Elliott on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Thought I was getting a migraine there, turned out my glasses needed cleaning. How's your day going?

I used to see Scottish comedian Phil Kaye a lot when I lived in the west end of Glasgow. He was a beardy longhair, as was I and most of my friends, so each time, I'd recognise him and do the same sequence of facial expressions: oh hi friend! Wait, no, that's Phil Kaye. Aw, I've done it again!

Little work in progress video for Seated 6. First time I’ve tried one of these (no planning happened!). #draw #drawing #sketchbook #sketch #workinprogress

Fantastic letter to Viz

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions
