So it looks like I’m spending the week on WhatsApp replying to people’s jokes about Storm Claudia. 😅

MCM is over! Comics are blurring into one amazing shape. Need some sleep. Thanks to everyone who came by, also @juliannebenford.bsky.social for helping run the table and @claudiamatosa.com for being a good neighbour.

I am not joining this year, but because I’m managing the social media, I’m having the chance to preview everyone’s work. And so I can say, without self-interest: this anthology is worth getting your hands on! Lots of established and new talent, many being published in print for the first time.

Our eighth anthology is launching in just a few days! Pre-register @ www.kickstarter.com/projects/mik...

This is my 2nd collaboration comic, this time with the wonderful @claudiamatosa.com I drafted this comic before the Benefits Bill passed but the message remains depressingly relevant. ‘Skivers vs strivers’ is back in the press and I just want to remind all disabled people, you are valuable.

A review of The Last Day of Rain by @pages-and-panels.com! "Filled with rich lore and clever visual designs, this series follows Carol, a member of a secret organization developing a way to bring rain to the wasteland of a futuristic and divided London." Read at www.pages-and-panels.com

You’ll see a comic book come to life this year; thoughts on feeding the permanently hungry social media machine; and a short film review (O’Dessa). blog.claudiamatosa.com/p/youll-see-... #blog #indiecomics #indieartist

It's been a while since I shared this: I have a small starter pack with UK comics people (including artists and reviewers), in case you're looking for cool folks to follow! go.bsky.app/S7wq2bV

A plane sketch of a spontaneous character cast, from years ago. I never got around to writing their story, but maybe one day! #Art #Sketches #CharacterDesign #Illustration

The Last Day of Rain uses a mix of 3D and 2D for backgrounds, particularly in the most recent volume! I spent last year sharing the process with a small list of people. From today, you can read some of it here: blog.claudiamatosa.com/s/work-in-pr... #graphicnovels #blender3D #digitalart

Noo! #art #comics #illustration

I disabled my art Instagram temporarily and have been writing about how it feels in my Substack notes. I don't want to use multiple platforms to do this because it's exhausting, so it will be there only. Have you ever considered doing the same? Find my notes here: substack.com/@claudiamato...

TONIGHT! Please join us! Bring friends! Have fun" #GoshBFDD

Art regrets his haircut. #comics #art

The cliché. #comics

Custom sticker for a couple who was drawn into chapter four!

New Comic Alert! The Last Day of Rain #4: Nevermind by @claudiamatosa - In this chapter, Carol has finally stumbled upon runaway Art. But as she tries to convince him to come back with her to the surface, she realises that his words are not what they seem. https://www.rfr.bz/bc78a66

Hey! The fourth volume is ready for pre-order in my online shop. I'll send your orders over once the new print run arrives, which hopefully will be in the next couple of weeks, as it's printed here in the UK. shop.claudiamatosa.com

Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess… WELL, NOW. Come see what your friends at CCIC have done! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/CCIC%20DCMS%...

I’m a bit sad today because the printers sent me a batch with bad quality, but still it feels great to hold the result of months of work in my hands. I’ll share more of the interiors soon! #indiecomics #bookcoverdesign

Playlist for chapter four 🎧 (Extra cheesy with an aggressive twist, if that’s up your alley 🪤) open.spotify.com/playlist/5AN...

Is it portfolio day? I don't have a portfolio post ready, but chapter four is finally done and will go to print this week. 👀 I'll share more soon, once my brain has recovered from relentless inking, colouring and lettering. 😵‍💫

Another work in progress page. 👁️ #art #comics #thelastdayofrain #comicbook #sciencefiction
