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

Still love this rootin' tootin guy I drew for the Prophecy issue of Hocus Pocus. Written by @rikworth.bsky.social colours by @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social

Anyone else think the timing of the action figure trend, immediately after the Studio Ghibli trend soured is strange? These feel less organic and more like coordinated rollouts to me. Now there's a notable backlash to this one, how long until the next one comes along?

Greenery from the archive 🟩🟩🟩

If you see this, QRP with your green art 💚 Colours on the beaver comic page by @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social

Thought we were long sold out, but this morning I unearthed a small box of HOCUS POCUS single issues - the very last of their kind! #1 Mind Reading, #2 Seances, #3 Ghosts, and #5 Levitation (sorry no #4 Prophecy). £5 per issue or £15 for all 4, postage included, signed by me. DM me if interested!

Absolutely adore doing these medical covers with Jordan 😊

With Hocus Pocus back in print I though I’d share this little 2 page section about the magical thinking of the wealthy and class dynamics. Seems fitting given, well, everything. www.vanishingincmagic.com/ebooks/hocus...

What a find. This Victorian guy illustrated his own diary and I absolutely love it. He had me at "An evenings lark with my pal 'Revolver Dave'"

Vanishing Inc had a warehouse fire last year and all our books literally went up in a puff of smoke so I'm so happy to see this. If you don't already have a copy, now's the perfect time to give them (and the book) a little boost!

This is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone interested in the overlap of science, magic, forteana, and skepticism. Very funny, really interesting and informative, and constantly doing ingenious things with the comics medium.

In a shock twist, it looks like Hocus Pocus: The Complete Collection has been reprinted and is available in the UK again! For new followers, it’s an Eisner-nominated, critical look at the shared history of science, the supernatural and illusions! www.vanishingincmagic.com/ebooks/hocus...
