Absolutely one of my favourite gag articles of all time. Crease every time I read it.

Comics artists! You’re all doing this, right?? If you’ve got any work published in something with an ISBN or ISSN, register with this payback scheme and simply receive free money later in the year. It is that simple. Do it! Love you.x

I like the idea of gearmakers in the world of LoLM having shamanistic roles and abilities while still being very pragmatic craftspersons. Less inclined towards pageantry (they leave that to their clientele), but with a clear understanding of the mysticism of masking and the Road To Glory.

Just seen a Kickstarter trying to charge 13 quid for a 50-odd page PDF?? I understand the need for higher prices on print books and shipping, but I dunno how those factors apply to digital goods. Digital goods are zero overhead so you price low to get more pledges in the door? What am I missing?

Fraser nailing it here. We badly need RM pulling back into public ownership because it’s getting absurd. I want to do another Kickstarter eventually but each year that passes it seems less and less feasible.

Beep Bop Boop

This is GREAT!! Go give it a read.

COWARDS

Seeing people get into histrionics about this question the same way they do about “what brush is that” and tbh the person asking is probably young and trying to learn. They’re picking up on surface level stuff and focusing on that because they’re still learning to look deeper. Be civil, be open!

Posted off some of these bad lads yesterday so they are now even MORE rare! longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com 🤼

Stumbled across 5 copies of the first Legend of La Mariposa book, The Demon Gauntlet! These are the last available copies of this book as there’s no plans to reprint it! Grab one at longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com while you can!! 🤼

I’m VERY excited to see what happens to this awful mural once it’s finished.

Another sketchbook witch, this time with a boggy kinda vibe.

The Wrasslin’ Shelf continues to to grow in wealth and power with the addition of some long-overdue artefacts!

It’s this mind of brainrot from think tanks that froze the momentum of the Harris/Walz campaign. People need to stop listening to these clowns both in the US and the UK. They are not smart people.

Ew, this is my mayor as well. Same mayor that’s allowing the council and private landlords to extort and strangle small businesses across her remit.

Crow witch! Inspired by @wocco.bsky.social ‘s approach to witches

Sketchbook raccoons!

Art by Daniel Warren Johnson.

Broccoli turns a really nice shade when you throw it in the boiling water.

Been doing a huge catch-up of @aewontv.bsky.social recently so here’s a quick drawing of one of my faves, @Bandido!! Kinda went in a snakey direction with his gear, not sure why!

10 Things I hate about Dune

Chapter one of the new Legend of La Mariposa is in the bag!

Worth noting in stories like this that genAI integration is always a top-down push from management. When Vincke says staff are “more or less okay with it”, he probably drew that conclusion from an all-hands meeting where no time was alloted for objections, disseminating a decision already made.

People being like “Guile looks weird”. Like… you’ve seen the character, right?

I’m calling it: Street Fighter movie is going to rule. It looks exactly as weird as it needs to be.

I obliterated Spotify earlier this year and have been leaning way more into Bandcamp for new music. Here’s some of the albums I’ve had on heavy rotation this year!

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Unequivocally one of the funniest things ever written.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately. Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Bad people are putin Farage into power

Slow progress is still progress!

Got some hogs on my logs today!!

This plus Hegseth’s whole “No Beardos” rant highlights the innate nature of the US’ current brand of fascism. It’s all about appearances, not actual substance. These people are as hollow and gaudy as fabergé eggs.

Remaining copies of Greb are up on my shop! 13 stories about weird little guys by 13 of the UK’s best cartoonists! Only about five copies left so grab ‘em while you can!! longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com !!

We need your help. @waterstones.bsky.social, without any direct communication with us, will be opening their 6th Edinburgh branch less than 100 metres from our front door at the Foot of the Walk in Leith. Please read on for more information www.heraldscotland.com/news/2562908... (1/2)

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at Thought Bubble this weekend!! The festival is the highlight of my year, and an important reminder, especially these days, that independent art has real value!
