Phew, managed to get a couple more little stickers into the order before I sent it off. #Cosmos #Skylynx

@chrismcfeely.bsky.social 👀

I still have some commissions to finish from other events but should be done with them soon, so maybe I will have time to take on a couple before the show. Fingers crossed! It's been a bit of a crazy year for me.

Fingers crossed that these new sticker sets arrive in time for @tfnationltd.bsky.social ! #Transformers #Blaster #Devastator

How did cel animation work? How was the space tunnel effect in the Movie created? How come some of Armada was animated twice? How do CGI models transform? What shows will people be narked at me about for glossing over? Come watch me try and cram too much geeky tech talk into about 50 minutes!

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

TFN '26 Tips #3 Unless you're in your own car, now's the time to think about what you're likely to buy and how to transport it back. Consider packing: - jute bags for boxed robuts - ziplock bags for loose accessories - expanding files for stickers/badges - art folders or tubes for prints/posters

TFN '26 Tips #2 Lotsa folks at other hotels this year; at the Moxy, Crowne Plaza or Genting? Check who else'll be there so you can walk back n' forth together, keep the chat going! At the Ibis (the NEC often locks up at midnight) or Premier Inn (no direct footpath)? Consider splitting a cab/uber!

TFN '26 Tips #1 The Hilton Metropole stopped accepting cash for food/drink back in March so overseas attendees might wanna check their bank's fees and see if it's worth bringing a travel debit card (N26 etc.) to reduce charges; teaming up with pals can also help minimise the number of transactions

Many of you know I've been hibernating for a while working on a big thing. This is the big thing. It's REALLY good, so if you've been wanting to hear it, here's how:

My artwork for the next edition of my “Universe” ‘zine. I would really appreciate it if you shared it.

hmmm #🎨sketch #pixelart #pixquare

Rather sick of hearing from that disgusting bigoted hatemonger, how about we try and raise up some trans folks instead? If you are trans and are an artist, writer, gamedev, musician, or creative of some variety? Reply below with links to your work(s)! Only one rule - strictly no generative AI.

People have been asking where they can hear It’s a Superpower?? so doing a master thread here to link to as a stock answer! The show will be out weekly on all podcast platforms from Monday 27th July. There are 8 chapters in total. You can subscribe now. However, if you can’t wait that long… 1/

This is rad as heck

I am on the hunt for two artists to recommend for the two scripts I've just been contracted for through Scholastic, soooo...if you are a cartoonist who finds a sweet older midgrade romcom set in New England in the fall totes your cup of hot apple tea..MESSAGE ME. (before end of July)

We’ve pre-sold 75 copies! Plus 60 digital copies and 20 digital triple packs! That’s good, but we can do better! We gotta pump those numbers up! ko-fi.com/thunderclash...

There is no sound that goes through me more than someone tutting at you. Even jokey tutting. Even tutting in a show. It makes me want to bite my fingers off.

18 days until TFNation! Still time to grab preorders from my Ko-fi shop before I close them out — don’t miss your chance to snag something before the con. Also just opened up MORE commission slots! If you’ve been waiting to get one booked in before TFNation. Shop: ko-fi.com/ryanbutton/s...

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a massive help. Jeremy Creatures are designed and hand-sewed by me, and they take many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

I had completely forgotten about this legendary quote. Wow

Oh NO, not Sam Neill!

You know what's great when you have lots of drawing to do? Listening to a new Chip Cheezum/Ironicus LP. Always funny and so endearing, I also loved them going through Final Fantasy Remake.

Blech, it smells like all of Manchester is having a BBQ today.

Here’s a better look at that cover by @markerguru.bsky.social and @dyemooch.bsky.social Who can you spot?

If you missed it yesterday, I added some new - and HIDDEN - paths to i will strangle a horse! It leads to an announcement for something brand new. I think one person has found it so far... (I also fixed a couple of typos and definitely added one, but sonit goes) Anyway! Can YOU find the new path?

As Transformers: The Movie celebrates its 40th anniversary, join us at #TFNat10n on Friday to honour its legacy with some familiar faces. Let’s find out who cried when Prime died… Spoilers! tfnation.com/2026#TFNat10n #TFNation #Transformers

Blech, I would like to make a simple online portfolio and keep it easily updated. I'm not super impressed with my current sitebuilder/host. One day when I'm not trying to save up I would love to hire someone to make something properly but until then, does anyone know cheap alternatives?

Here it is. Our beautiful It’s a Superpower?? thumbnail, designed by the amazing @frasergeesin.bsky.social - who has also created episode thumbnails for each chapter! We were going for a ‘90s Sabrina pastiche / homage, which of course nods to Bewitched. We can’t wait for you to meet these guys 😭

New for @tfnationltd.bsky.social I will be bringing along a series of bookmarks celebrating classic Transformers panels from Marvel UK and IDW that I worked on. Super glossy, heavy cardstock, they basically make your books better. There, I said it. #transformers #tfnation #optimus #megatron

The heatwave really knocked me for six, feel like I'm recovering from being ill!
