I almost forgot someone's getting kicked in the balls in the park on Sunday!

Not sure if a dog or a bear with a bit of string for a leash.

Saying it again. You do *not* have to be the most accomplished artist in the world to make an excellent comic that speaks to people and communicates your truths.

Wishing, definitely not for the first time in my life, that I wasn't such a phoneaphobe.

Creatives: Show me your favourite thing you made in 2025 Me: playing guitar in The Memepunks where I could be silly. This picture from our xmas gig. Song: Are You Going To Be My Gay Egyptian? A mash-up of (at least) three songs, guess which.

Thread on this - and worth stressing, this is a Grok-generated apology, and not an actual apology from the X management.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Greetings! I am a very, very dusty lamp with no bulb in my socket and I am turned on. Dust me?

horses of the northern hemisphere, i almost forgot to get you a card

Really weird-looking bird at the dish today.

Okay. Off we go then.

Outlook for the new year ...

Happy new year chums :)

start the year off right by reading some Downer Comics

So long, 2025. You were a mix. I tried my best. I’ll do the same with the next year.

Happy New Year!

Finished building my lego santa

A diy motivational poster that slipped behind the desk and I just rediscovered.

Time for last run of the year I guess.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Right. This afternoon in quixotic plans: downsize most of my art supplies (ignoring the oil paints) so they sit on the rolly trolly thingy that sits next to the drawing board and find a better home for all the sketchbooks.

Great tits nibbling on the nuts I left in the garden. Nice.

Appalling the screaming ghost of Lovecraft gives me life

Here’s everything we published in 2025 - plus the #CroydonSpaceport CD with @tcfsr.bsky.social, of course, and our #ColossiveCartographies 5th birthday party @goshcomics.bsky.social. Thank you all for being part of it. Have a Colossive 2026!

This was an excellent report on the @yocomicsfair.bsky.social (an indie comics fair focussed on kids) by @tomeenmurphy.bsky.social that we ran at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social last year. www.brokenfrontier.com/yo-comics-fa...

Looking at the AI “designed” jumper my sister got me for Xmas. I’m kind of fascinated by how god-awful it is.

Close out the new year the only sensible way: by pre-saving the crowdfunder for a solo ttrpg zine featuring original artwork, tarot and wooden block tower mechanics, deception, bones www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

There’s a camembert in the fridge I forgot about before going away for crimble. I think the smell it’s emitting is now sentient….

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

How I’m walking out of 2025

Reminds me of the MDF lift I once had to use at a client’s office

(For context as someone mentioned it: we’re talking about a fully grown dalmatian standing on my hair and howling here. Not a sausage dog.)

Today is my birthday. I’m lucky to share my birthday with the very talented writers @davebjeffery.bsky.social and Kayleigh Dobbs. As well as having our birthdays today, we all have collections in the @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social Shadows series which you can get here blackshuckbooks.co.uk/shadows/
