Animation I did for a Hanna-Barbera inspired project im working on with friends based on characters created by ourselves. I did this on a whim today despite no prior animation experiences keeping with the limitations Hanna-Barbera had in the early 60s. I gotto say Im pleased with the final result.

A three-piece set commissioned by me, drawn by @michaelfrancis.bsky.social, as an indirect tribute to the '90s film, #Pagemaster.

If you see this, QRT with a game that released the year you were born

Good. I'm only just starting out and I'm not having some jack-holes with more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime taking a piece of the pie I'm baking that they made NO contribution to!

Taylor Zander's October episode was one I thought was going to be a nightmare. Its 16 pages instead of the usual 8. But I've gunned it, and a month and a half of work doing all the pencils turned out to be a mere 12 days. I still have ink and colour to do but that takes less time than pencil.

I've never drawn Tifa before... #fanart #tifa #ff7

Fear me, for i am the bumblebee tamer

8 new Taylor Zander pages to be released on Sunday the 31st of August. Hope to see you there!

Best cosplay ever

I dont mind either way if people like or don't like the comics I'm making. Ill continue to put my all into them as always, but as long as people are talking about them one way or another, it has all been worth it.

I do wish folk would leave more comments on my work.

RIP Diesel, our little trooper. 30 July 2016 - 2 June 2025

Started uploading Taylor Zander to Tapas. The first 12 pages of my first comic can be read there now: tapas.io/series/Taylo...

Taylor Zander and the Secret of the Amethyst Pages 1-4 Feedback greatly appreciated.

Graham Bleathman's painting is finally up on the wall.

Taylor Zander and the Secret of the Amethyst will conclude on the 30th of November. In the new year I'll begin editing the finished story for print.

Water... my artistic arch nemesis

To FDR jr, on behalf of the autistic community, id like to share this, in a way only you and your supporters will understand:

Just woke up to see someone call me an AI artist. Please excuse me while I hysterically laugh my rage away

Only just figured how to do panel templates on photoshop. Had I figured this out a year ago, I'd have been doing Taylor 2 digitally from Page 50.

I'm supposed to be working. Can someone please explain to me how I ended up sat on my sofa watching Russian cartoons?

I can never hate a bad cash-grab animated film that'd come out whenever Disney made one again. Why? With the crap I've heard about AI recently, people saying "We can programme any old junk and people will watch it" and "artists can get a real job" etc. Those bad films? At least people MADE them.

Gone digital for Page 101 onward. New milestone

April's Taylor work is going well

Brilliant and painfully accurate.

Twitter Classic: Vader gets some bad news from Palpatine (who is voiced by the wonderful @voicesbyzane.bsky.social )

Only one month to write for and the script for Taylor 2 is finished. The story will conclude on the 30th of November.

If you critique my artwork by saying a character looks disproportionate or a building is misaligned, I'll fix it. If you tell me to use AI to fix it, I'll leave it in. Someone asked me why recently, and I told them "because when you see it, you'll know it was MY mistake".

youtu.be/BLT_0xKoF6g?... Fun little comic dub I did with some friends

Taylor 2 scripts for April, May and June have been finished...

Taylor Zander episodes for April and May are fully written. Gonna see how many more I can get finalised by the end of the month. The comic WILL be finished by the end of the year, tho. I'm sure of THAT.

This is absolutely adorable!!

8 New pages available now! www.deviantart.com/zanderfranci...

My mum, having seen what I've recently been doing for February, asked: "if you're gonna draw someone knocked out, can't they at least go down with dignity?" "Yes", I said... then I drew this scene.

There comes a point in your life where you draw two of your friends heads getting bashed together that you have to stop and think: "I have a WEIRD job!!"

This darn thing took 6 hours

Freedom of Speech doesn't mean Freedom from Consequence. If you say something stupid, horrible or offensive, don't act all surprised when people call you out for it. Freedom of Speech goes both ways. If you think Freedom of Speech applies just to you, THAT'S NOT FREEDOM OF SPEECH...

As a cartoonist, my saddest problem is I can't just enjoy reading other people's books. The creative process to me is so intriguing I'm always more interested in how they make them than reading the final product. I expect only other cartoonists will understand that.

The Secret of NIMH is hands down the best animated movie ever made.

Taylor Pages 81-84. The last panel of page 84 took 9 and a half hours... I only finished it today

Taylor Pages 77-80. Simon punches @sonicguru.bsky.social and then gets a punch back. Also drama

Francis Coded characters

Two commissions i recently did. You can get one for yourself if you want one.

Let's see how crap I look when drawn entirely digitally and in 5 mins... Anyway, Draw what you're wearing, five minutes max!
