There was a full house tonight for @zackpolanski.bsky.social's visit to @darlingtongreens.bsky.social tenth anniversary celebration. Absolutely amazing energy in the room, and a credit to the fantastic local team who pulled this together. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

🎵 Proud Mary keep on gooning 🎵 Or whatever CCR sang…

The GlobalComix app is unreal! Just read the first 2 issues of Battle Beast!

"One, two, JACK is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, gonna stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again".

Ever been blown away by the picture quality of a 1080p Blu Ray, but NOT a 4K HDR stream on Disney+? There’s a lot more to the cinematic experience than resolution and for that Physical media is the GOAT.

My dumb ass in the early 2000s: “Magneto’s concerns are valid, but only diplomacy will help” Me today: “well, shit…”

The #enshittification of streaming platforms is well underway. Remember when Netflix was £4.99 per month and you could get pretty much ANYTHING there with no ads? Now it’s £12.99 and competing with a dozen other similarity priced services. So glad I’m switching back to DVD/Blu Ray

In a world of streaming and a bajillion different subscription services I really thought I’d fallen out of love with film. That all changed when I decided to rebuild my old DVD library I gave away years ago. There’s something magical about taking a stroll this big wallet that reanimates that love

The photo of Gaza resident A’ed Abu Amro that this illustration is inspired by blew me away when I first saw it in 2018. One young man standing against the colonial Israeli regime. Outnumbered. Outgunned. Outstanding. #freepalestine

After listening to @how2wrestling.bsky.social ‘s recent podcast about the INCREDIBLE and mysterious Bray Wyatt I just had to illustrate this tribute to one of the most engaging and mesmerising wrestling performers of the past 15 years.

Knowing what your audience want is super important, and at the market I do every month they’ve made it clear; “MORE GAMING STUFF!”

Bri'ish sonic is a cunt #sonicthehedgehog #fleetway #fleetwaysonic

RIP Ozzy

Loved this project

Yeah… so maybe my sonic the hedgehog fandom has been pretty high the past few… lifetime.

Not many males remember the exact moment they became aware of the impact of death but I do, and it was being 6 years old watching Transformers the movie

Ahh my first ever @sonicthecomic.bsky.social issue

The team is deeply saddened to share the news that Sonic the Comic Online veteran Hume, Thalia Evans, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Thalia was part of the team from the very beginning, providing the cover and Tails strip for our first issue, STC #224 in May 2003.

Me to my child: “time for your meds” Him: “ugh! Why do I still need meds?” Me: “because you have ADHD” Him: “Yeah, well YOU have P-Diddy-HD!” Me:”…”

Of course there are Epstein Files, all civilian planes have transponders that show exactly where they have been, and all planes must produce flight logs saying exactly who is on them. The Epstein Files literally cannot NOT exist.

Discovering @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social ‘s epic Spawn was a right of passage for teenage comic obsessives back in the early 00s and I was no exception! Whether it was drawn by Mcfarlane himself or by the incredible Greg Capullo, I was ALL IN! From then on, drawing Al Simmons became a regular thing

I’ve spent about a month solid listening to @demontomatodave.bsky.social and @chrismcfeely.bsky.social ‘s AMAZING Sonic the Comic the Podcast and the nostalgia inspired me to illustrate this (unfortunately I never mustered up the courage as a child to send a drawing to the graphic zone as a kid)

Speaking of which, everyone follow this gentleman! Responsible for the INCREDIBLE printJOB!

I illustrated My THIRD children’s book which was recently put into print! Stay tuned on where to get it 😘

I have been SUPER CRAP at update BlueSky, so here’s a recent art dump

I remember this so well. That first #SmallPressDay I felt, as a co-organiser, it was important to support every event in London and pop in. So I did a trip across the capital including FP, @goshcomics.bsky.social, the late Orbital Comics, the late Raygun East and @housmansbookshop.bsky.social.

#NeverVoteReform #NeverFarage

In 22 years of making comics THIS is my first ever double page spread!

My son this morning; “Dad, am I a hero?” Me: “I think you are.” Him: “is it because I survived cancer?” Me: “yeah” Him: “it’s good that I didn’t need chemo isn’t it.” Me: “yeah it’s really good” Him: “How is toothpaste made?”

That’s volume 1 of my Cold War era sci fi comic REPUBLIK off to the printers! Can’t wait to see the result!

@how2wrestling.bsky.social after listening to #how2lita I will be using the term “letting Kane hit it raw” to describe ALL dangerous sexy situations

I want to release an album of ALL the songs u sing to my dog

So, yesterday some douchebag hacked my THIRTEEN YEAR OLD Instagram, killing off my 900 followers and over a decade of artwork, but this ISNT a tragedy. I’ve been wanting to clean up my insta and having an old backup account was a blessing! The new handle is slam_comics for all who wish to hop on :)

I’m a mysterion man in a mint-berry crunch world

Issue 3 of my independent comic #REPUBLIK hits the SLAM COMICS stand at the Misfit Market inside Darlington Indoor market this Thursday!

Got my monthly market stall coming up. Thought some valentines cards might be fun.

“Does your wife ever watch wrestling with you?” “Only for the Drew McIntyre matches for some reason.”

Well, all that’s left is the cover! Super excited for issue 3 of my Cold War era sci fi comic REPUBLIK to be hitting my stall next Thursday!

Well, nuts. My scheduler borked the link. Here it is again: www.drivethrucomics.com/en/publisher...

Getting some commissions done next to my furry buddy

Finding new bands in the 00s was the best thing ever. Read an article about a new band in Kerrang. Find their MySpace page. Listen to their 3 songs on there over and over. Find out they broke up 3 months ago. Cry. Repeat. Perfection.

Found an old, old, OLD page of Altered State, back when it was in its first draft (known as Hypno at the time). I can see who I was trying to emulate. The likes of Jim Lee and Todd Mcfarlane but my current pages have far more of my personality in them. Amazing what experience does.

I have just backed: Breaking Into Comics How-To Self Publish Returns www.kickstarter.com/projects/jos...

#PunkVsRollins was a wonderful main event! At 46yo Cm Punk has definitely still got it! #RawNetflix

Also, HOLY SHIT Michael Cole without Vince in his ear is EXCELLENT on commentary! #WWERaw

First episode of #Raw I’ve watched since 2019 and I gotta say… that first match was absolutely BEAUTIFUL #prowrestling #WWENetflix
