It's finally clicked: Wes Streeting always reminds me of someone but I couldn't figure out who... it's Kyle Rittenhouse. They look very similar to me.

On sale today! Am about to get in my car to drive to Brighton (after 30mins or so of faffing about) hopefully see you there.

Brand new and for sale at the @cartooncounty.bsky.social Market Takeover tomorrow - Vortices. Each copy has a hand produced tracing paper cover. The interiors are more complicated to explain than the Internet has room for.

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Have I Been Cancelled Or Am I Just Boring: the unpopular social media user mantra

Watched 'Obsessed' last night and really, really liked it. I found 'Hokum' really disappointing for multiple reasons and went in expecting something equally mundane from Obsessed but it's actually very good. Very funny in places too.

BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage? This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice. Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

I'd have got the LinkedIn Pinpoint much faster today if one of the clues hadn't been 'Bell' which made me reflexively type 'End'.

Robert Pasternak has an exhibiton up in Winnipeg that looks amazing, and I'd be there every day if it was nearer to me. He's an intensely good artist. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/art-...

Printing on tracing paper did NOT work so I've done a version on paper and it looks OK. I might take my time now though, slow the process right down and really nail what I want to achieve.

Snake? SNAAAAKE!

I should have googled 'can you print onto tracing paper' before I spent 3 weeks creating a comic which needs to be printed on tracing paper.

If I don't have a fan on I melt. If I do have a fan on my whole body goes on high alert becasue it is being bothered. I might just put today in the bin.

Happened again: bought Star Wars Outlaws because it was cheap and a week and a half later it's in the PS+ Game Catalogue. I don't dare buy a game ever again.

Oh look. The Sun. Here to make me miserable again today. (me in the winter: "i neeeed some daylight my fucking brain is dyiiiiing and i am so depresssssed")

GIVEAWAY! Dead Weight is coming out next week and to celebrate I'm giving away two copies that have been personally bitten by Uggi and will be personally signed by me and shipped to the winners wherever they live! To enter just like and share this post and I'll select the winners on May 26th!

Me and Bill just watched the Mandalorian film. I knew exactly what I was going in for and had a lovely time. Bill knew exactly what he was going in for and sat seething, poison clouds of cynicism radiating out of him.

My replies to Louie's 'Friday Good News Thread' are nearly always about my kids, I think. In personal good news, I got a very unexpected by very welcome review of 'Intended Prosecution' on the Awesome Comics Podcast, and progress on my various projects is all going in the right direction.

Yeah my 6ft+ pal already gets shit cos she's tall. So good work on the whole "looking out for womens safety thing"... Tall lass can't use a loo in peace is top, top work all round 🙄

100% I really don't want anything explained to me if at all possible.

A few hours into having a Vinted account, great to see it's as rife with scams as everywhere else.

I dropped Bill off at school this morning (to make sure he was in time for his exam) and as I drove past the school made eye-contact with a student (Yr 10, by the looks of them) putting a sheep (that was wearing a nappy) into the boot of their car. Which means they saw me laugh at them with delight.

Slow, careful progress on 'Vortices', my tracing-paper comic. Here are pages 1 & 2 which should give a decent idea of how each page will be constructed.

Honestly this is exactly the sort of thing I've been trying to make. To be someone's weirdest purchase at a second-hand book sale is an ambition.

Commissions are back open. Pay me to draw something for you! Does your hotel need a drawing of an Alsatian carrying Barbara Woodhouse in its mouth like she’s a stick in every room or not?!

Have driven up to my office in Yorkshire for the day but I got woken up at 4am by my dog so I'm so over-tired now I'm breaking through into a new plane of concsiousness. Going by the last 1/2hr or so my sense of humour is both much weirder and much more risque than it usually is. Might be trouble.

I looked at *tonnes* of diagrams to properly understand shoulder anatomy so I could draw one simplified illustration (left), and coming across absolute AI gobbledygook (right) from a "Center for Specialty Care" DID NOT HELP. It just got worse the more I learned. Careful out there, folks! #sciart

I have no idea why this is in my phone.

Facebook has reminded me that 14 years ago I exhibited a life-size papier mache Batman costume thing lined with abstract comic pages in the vacated Barclays bank in Chelmsford. Theoretically it was wearable (the 'fists' had handles in them which could be held) but the cowl was nailed to the wall.

Scanned all of the tracing paper sheets used in that booklet on the weekend. Still need to letter in the text I've sourced for it. Because I'll be printing this onto tracing paper this single image will actually be four pages of the comic, with extra volume coming in from the pages behind.

Tonight at 7pm UK time… “Following the 16mm album, Dogs Versus Shadows reads from his new audiobook “16mm: nineteen accounts”, a collection of micro stories based around the album, 16mm that he released with Nicholas Langley on @strategictaper.bsky.social “ www.greyclayradio.com/home

A “demo tape” can either be a “demonstration tape” which provides an example of what an album might sound like, or a “demolition tape”, where the cassette shell is packed with explosives and used to destroy an defunct deck. It’s important to clarify which type a “demo tape” is before playing it.

By my count this is the seventh Reform councillor suspended after being elected just one week ago*, mostly for expressing direct support for Nazism or other forms of racism.

Hey, do marketing for Boom! I can tell you from personal experience that they're a really fun and exciting publisher to work for right now.

Got outsmarted by my dog and he got his teeth on an entire sub roll. He did *not* want to give it up.
