Following his "acquisition" (theft) of Clunie Fretton's new book, Des has a new hobby and he won't shut up about it. He wants a set of chisels for his birthday and asks me "am I getting chisels" every 10-15 minutes. He intends to carve sculptures of, exclusively, himself. "But different sizes!"

My commission availability for TFCon Chicago is going to pretty limited, sadly If you have been waiting to book something with me please DM or email and I will see if I can squeeze you in!

GET THIS LOT INTO YOU! And listen to my episode of Hellish too, had a blast with the boys talking about the songs I'll meet in Hell. Previous guests include Robin Ince, Julia Raeside and Kieron Gillen! Make this your new favourite podcast!

To those asking, I'll check and see if showing Nightshade's earlier Gargoyle design is possible but might have to wait till after the whole series is finished airing. Ciro Nieli, art director for that block of eps, took the lead on the final Nightshade, so the finished design is down to him!

Happy Friday! 🎉 Digital commissions are now open for October, but slots are limited — so if you’d like to book in, now’s the time! 🚀 You can contact me through here or by email: [email protected] #commissions #commissionsopen

Okay, I'm opening five commission slots, for this sort of digital headshot. £20. Shout me out, no DM's.

🌆New Episode🌆 @chrisryall.bsky.social & @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social join us this week to discuss their unique collaboration with Francis Ford Coppola & making a very comic book version of MEGALOPOLIS, out 10/7 from @abramscomicarts.bsky.social: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/megalop...

Seeing as Nightshade from Transformers: Earthspark is catching attention again, here's some of the work I did on the character. There was an earlier version of them that had been finalised and approved, but the writers wanted a new alt mode; their earlier disguise was a 'Gargoyle'!

My art dealer @thegreenroom.bsky.social is coordinating a collective #inktober once again, this time it's #BLUETOBER and day one is that fun, fun dude Skeletor, drawn by me 💀 Check out TGR's social media for days 2 and 3, by my amiguis @aneke.bsky.social and @ghwalta.bsky.social

Ba scríbhneoir agus iriseoir den scoth é Manchán. Bhí an-tíonchar aige orm thar na bliana. Thug sé an-inspioráid dom chun an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim agus í a chur chun cinn. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís agus is mór an trua é.

Woke up to discover that Graham Linehan has cancelled his Netflix subscription because he found out we have a non-binary ROBOT in (the GLAAD-nominated) Transformers Earthspark. Women's sports AND Transformers? Who knew he had so many interests? How does he find the time?

This week we talked to @nickroche.bsky.social about his book #Scarenthood - a funny folk-horror based on Irish myth: Shaun of the Dead vs The Wicker Man, starring adult Goonies. It’s packed with gags like this! Get a signed copy: tinyurl.com/nickscare Listen to the episode: podfollow.com/hellish

At the end of October, Becca and I will be moving away from San Diego. Exact destination TBD. There's sort of a best and worst case scenario. Best is we move for a job. Worst is we move because I still can't find one. So...any support right now would be great.

One thing I WON'T have at Thought Bubble is New Scarenthood. Since last year's show, I've managed to get all rights back (YAY!) and move it along in lots of significant and unexpected ways! The actual 2nd volume and new home for Vol 1 though? To be finalised. (Let's talk?) BUT! Here's a promo!

It’s Hellish Picture Quiz time! Can you work out four of the songs @nickroche.bsky.social will meet in Hell from these pics? If you’re having trouble then listen to the latest pod for the answers! podfollow.com/hellish

I meet all of John's criteria, so I did what he suggested. TIS THE SEASON so jump on this collection of folkloric strips from two of the best to do it!

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #6 variant.

Had a FANTASTIC! time drawing this recent commission. A pair of ancient time travellers, Vector Prime and his new mate, The Ninth Doctor!

Hey you! You like comics right? what about a sci-fi comic about the last human alive and a haunted space ship! FREE! Just go here www.patreon.com/collection/1...

This is a worthwhile little thread, payoff is lovely

Ruddy bloody hell, just booked my flights to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social and now I'm PROPER excited. (Watch out soon for me opening my commission list to pay for said flights and my cream scones at Betty's.)

More details of the set-to-be-HUGE Terran Omega here!

Yes, that's right. A FUCKING Lazarus Engine. PJ just emanates creativity and always draws from the gut. It's been such a treat seeing him building this whole new scifi world in TERRAN OMEGA, a good chunk of which is now available to read for free! You like free comics, right? Get thee subscribed!

I know I bring it up a lot, but modern-day Colin MacNeil is a gruddamn inspiration. An era-defining artist 30+ years back, and to have completely re-honed his style and still make it so dominating. So great. (These colours work really well with his lines too, sorry if I don't recognise 'em.)

Ha! The best thing? The 'Six' logo was designed by my best friend, who also designed the Scarenthood logo! Tiny, tiny world! (Also, Six and Matt Cardle are in Ireland's top five selling records?!)

This week, @nickroche.bsky.social brought us the 5th bestselling single in #Irish history, a song universally adored he cannot stand. Our resident songfacts robot didn’t know what the top four were, so here they are now. How many have you heard? podfollow.com/hellish

It is spooky season, my dudes. If you fancy reading about the history of ghost-hunting, séances, Spiritualism, and a recipe to make your own gloopy ectoplasm, please check out my book Ghosted! Thank you very much to the excellent @mjpcuervo.bsky.social for the wonderful endorsement. ☺️👻

THIS ONE HAS IT ALL! HEARTBREAK! DRUG SHAME! STING! Give my episode of @Hellishpod.com a listen, where I pick the songs I'll meet in Hell. It's usually the best podcast around, but I will not vouch for this episode. YEAH, YEAH, FUNKY YEAH

STOP - HAMMER TIME

Nobody loathes Ricky Gervais more than the person on his team who keeps telling him photo-shoots like this are a good idea. The greatest inside job in the history haterdom. Nobody else gets close.
