The Eisner-Nominated Hocus Pocus by @jordancollver.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social Professor Richard Wiseman and me is on sale at Vanishing Inc as part of their Vanishing Day sale! Spooky, science comics! www.vanishingincmagic.com/ebooks/hocus...

Strangely enough I was showing this particular colouring job to my toddler in the library this week (she was not impressed)

To say I'm a massive fan of Red Dwarf is an understatement... I was so fixated on it as a kid that school had to contact my parents and ask them to "make me watch something else". Thanks Rob Grant, rest in peace. ((Ross Bampfylde art - my colouring, from yonks ago))

These lads know how to tell great stories and it's been a great pleasure seeing these slowly come to being so please DO check out their history-tacular, pet-nificent books. Buy one for each of your kids. Buy another for each of your pets. Then buy one for every historical figure to have ever lived.

Things AI couldn't do no.4568, draw this shitty wizard in misguided attempt to appease my toddler's boredom in a local library

Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Rome by @jordancollver.bsky.social and me is out Thursday!

Here's another favourite spread of mine from our Ancient Rome book coming out this week. @rikworth.bsky.social writes pages like this he knows I'll get a kick out of drawing.

We were here. Easily the highlight of the festival for us, the wonderful anarchic joy of @touretteshero.bsky.social & Captain Hotknives. Also saw him in beautiful freeflowing form in late 2019 on the cusp of the world changing forever. Well it's a different time now alright... rest in peace Captain.

For no real reason I spent years making a musical podcast about the evolution of different genres. I have finished, and this is the very final episode and it's about heavy metal. There was no need for this, but I'm weirdly proud that I finished it after so long. www.mixcloud.com/genrevolver/...

I decided to take a brief wander with a long-lost art form: the teenage satirical comedy audio cassette. Turns out I made tons of them.

The contemporary pain of office culture appears to be having to endure endless hours of speculation on the Traitors. I feel like I'm in Pluribus. WHATS IN THE MILK CARTONS GUYS

Bristolians have set up a bot to mock our appalling and overpriced bus service and I'm weirdly feeling a huge amount of local pride

These are so much fun to do and if you want covers this magical, this medical give us a shout!

“A feat so amazing, I am forced to point it out myself!” Lovely to read this from the charming (and very hirable) Owen, who has brought so many of our comics to life. In fact, you can sing Collver, Worth and Watts to the same tune as Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Check out the full article below!

A lovely little insight into the chromatic wizardry of my good friend and comic-spirator Owen, including our collaborations with @rikworth.bsky.social and @itraineu.bsky.social. My freelance career wouldn't be what it is without any of them! Thanks Mr. Watts🖖

A post about the magic of my science communication colouring work, all done with the wondrous @jordancollver.bsky.social - doing covers for MedMaster creates a really nice thematic interaction with my NHS laboratory job as well 🧬🔬 owenwattsdraws.substack.com/p/master-of-...

A new post about colouring BATMAN for the wonderful Mr Michael Turnbull. I'm also very bat-vailable for any bat-colouring... you may ... bat-want. Bats #batman #batcomics #batposting

I'm reminded almost daily of this panel from a comic I made with @scicommsuwe.bsky.social @rikworth.bsky.social & @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social about the challenges of being a science journalist in the UK and India. Full comic here: www.sciencemediacentre.in/exploring-sc...

The hardback collection has always been a bit pricey so if that's ever put anyone off picking one up, now's the time!

All ages. Spooky. Skeptical. Scientific. We got to work with parapsychologist Richard Wiseman to make interactive comics. And we convinced the publishers to put it on discount for Halloween (and Christmas if you’re prepared!) www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-books/...

Shortly after the death of Dave Evens aka Bolt 01 @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social raised money for a suicide charity by auctioning off donated art. I wanted to contribute but I suck at art. So, I did what Bob Kane would, I copied someone else’s work and passed it off as mine. Happy Batman day.

...I also went bizarrely viral with this one when the loud fella himself shared it. The Internet was smaller then!

🌙Artists, QRP with your favourite you've drawn!🌙 Well over a decade ago I had this weird era where I'd regularly draw different folk in regionally appropriate versions of the 2012 Dredd costume. Still like this one!

On me latest substack post I talk about how EXACTLY I ensnared and coloured in the majestic Vinnum Sabbathi cosmic dolphin. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Really love this one, the statue itself is glorious down Ilfracooooombe way

Tis spooky season! New bluesky follow might not know about our Eisner nominated series Hocus Pocus. It makes great reading in the run up to Halloween and our most spooktacular book until we convince our publishers to let us do Pets Tell Tales: Monsters! www.vanishingincmagic.com/ebooks/hocus...

This. @darrencullen.bsky.social

I've found another problematic platform to spread myself onto! Over the next however long I plan to bark into the subvoid about things I've done, things I intend to do and things I did long ago and may never do again... owenwattsdraws.substack.com/p/cup-of-o

Astra asked @ladygeoffery.bsky.social to draw "hulk and iron man" and the results were so glorious I decided to colour it. Our first full family collaboration 😅

You can also read our comic in Spanish and Korean!

Check out our comic illustrated by @jordancollver.bsky.social and @rikworth.bsky.social , colors by @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social . -- find the full comic and more here bhamla.gatech.edu/project-blog...

Some (very) recent colouring I did for the fantastic Michael Turnbull, brilliant lettering here from the evergreen @robjoneswrites.bsky.social !

For those going up to the Edinburgh fringe, please check out my dearest friend, my celebrant, my occasional podcast co-host, my emotional rock and VERY FUNNY PERSON @dickdenham.bsky.social with James Murphy and their brilliant split bill show all this month!!!!

PUBLICATION DAY! Non-fiction, comedy comic aimed at 7-11 year olds, designed to encourage reading and critical thinking while supporting the KS2 curriculum and with brilliant artwork is by genius @jordancollver.bsky.social ? What are you waiting for? #KidsLitUk uk.bookshop.org/p/books/pets...

TWO MORE SLEEPS

Y’all should be hiring Owen

Get Owen to colour your comics! I do and have never looked back.

It's #PortfolioDay and my main thing is colouring, so here is some of my work side-by-side with the original line art for your delectation! Original work by @cgcumber.bsky.social + @thewilliamsdroid.bsky.social

Sheffield

Well the lion's out of the bag... it looks like our publisher has added the provisional cover art to retailer pages for Pets Tell Tales book 2 about ancient Rome by @rikworth.bsky.social & me. So might as well do a COVER REVEAL! Pre-order Book 2 out in Feb: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/pets...

That time we were published by DK!

Toddler Time Tunnel

@bristol-filming.bsky.social "TJC TECHs" sign by the Cat and Wheel pub, what's afoot?

Author copies arrived today! A crazy feeling, my daughter couldn't believe a book had my name on it. Now just a few more weeks until it's in shops!

Post apocalyp-chick

Just backed this, I don't usually randomly promote Kickstarters but the great Trystan Mitchell is a comics stalwart and a grand chap. Local Cornish folk tales, authentically told!

I genuinely chose one of my favourite colour combos for this character because he looked so groovy

This page from Pets Tell Tales was fun to work out. And I liked drawing Khepri so much that I snuck him into @chrismole.bsky.social's "Secrets of The Majestic" anthology story I did with @rikworth.bsky.social & @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social See if you can spot him.

Was going through some old pics and found this video demonstrating how @jordancollver.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social and I converted and explained Pepper’s Ghost aka Dirck’s Phantasmagoria into comic form for Hocus Pocus (link to book in bio). Good stuff, if I don’t say so myself

Hello there. As always, I am on the lookout for new lettering jobs. So, if you want a plucky Brit clad in facial hair and a dressing gown to letter your comics, I'm your guy, dudes. robjonesletteringblog.wordpress.com
