Guaranteed this is getting pushed through ASAP and farmed out to private overseas tech companies with zero oversight.

Landlord class leaning hard into the parasite allegations, eh?

“My idea of heaven is to wake up, have a good breakfast, and spend the rest of the day drawing." Peter Falk #BOTD

No lie, I would straight up eat this like a starving cormorant.

A couple recent sketchbook pages!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The shelf in full:

New editions to the wrasslin’ section in my studio!

Think I'll read this once a week forever. Patricia Routledge, I love you.

I had to go wee during Weapons and not doing The Run while I crossed in front of the screen will always be a source of regret for me.

Sucks to see that Airlearn, which I continually see touted as an alternative to the increasingly off-putting Duolingo, is *also* poisoned by AI.

I sure love seeing my 48 hour package ping-ponging around Royal Mail’s network for a full week. Almost as much as I love their broken AI support chat which tells you to pick an option but then does not load any options.

Finally saw Superman and it absolutely shreds. Just tonally spot-on in every way.

Some of the concept art from the latest volume of The Legend of La Mariposa currently underway!

Again, look at the police manpower being activated against people peacefully speaking out against genocide while the Government tie themselves in knots to excuse and encourage racists outside migrants’ hotels.

My ghost artist is sleeping on the job. AGAIN.

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia write to your MPs.

Pretty proud of the second face there!

Funnily enough I was watching Hammer and Bolter the other night and thinking how bland and MCU-like the intro music and logo were. The whole thing stinks of exec/consultant/manager overreach. People more interested in quarterly returns than their actual product.

There's some INCREDIBLE work happening in the Scottish comic scene right now, and I want to take a moment to do some shoutouts! International followers, this one's for you - Scotland has some amazing work going on that you really should be following along with 🧵👇

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

I still think about this constantly

I am once again begging for a 24-hour moratorium on Americans posting wrestling PPV spoilers so non-Americans can have a chance of being surprised by the main event.

Das Schwarze Korps newspaper of Berlin was irate over a Look magazine comic in which Superman ties Nazi cannons into knots and drags Hitler (and Stalin) off for trial. It lashed out at Superman writer Jerry Siegel as a "beetle" and ridiculed his Jewish last name. Here's the Look magazine spread:

It’s nice having original art again! Tbh I’ve got piles of originals from The Legend of La Mariposa. Could be tempted to part with some of ‘em if anyone was interested?

AI nonsense and general decline in quality aside, a big beef I have with Duolingo is that it’s just *creepy* now. The owl gives borderline sex pest vibes and sends you threatening, pass-agg alerts. Even worse, it sends you alerts disguised as direct messages from friends! It’s just grim.

The full guest lineup poster for LCC's Small Press Day event at The Brew Society on Saturday 19th July! Will be running from 11am-5pm with tons of local talent selling their self published comics, with portrait drawing and live drawing on the go too! @leedscc.bsky.social @smallpressday.bsky.social

Always like to kick off a new story with a big ole landscape shot! Trying a new pseudo-watercolour approach to colour with this story.

Todaaaay..!!!!! 😱😱😱😱🤖🤖😅 www.kickstarter.com/projects/gus...

Just submitted my final module for my MA and so am pleased to announce that I am, in fact, back on my bullshit.

Thunder Rosa cutting about in La Mariposa colours and motifs and none of you thought to tell me? Clearly a sign I need to get a new comic drawn and out there.

No sir. The Madame has the same issue and makes it worse. Gang, the fillings go *in* the sandwich.

I’m gonna be controversial for a second: The Croque Monsieur is a stupid sandwich concept.

Applications are open for 20 lil' half tables at @leedscc.bsky.social 's 2025 Small Press Day Comics & Art Market on Saturday 19th July! In our usual back room space at Brew Society, Leeds, UK.

Everything I’ve heard about “crowdfunding publishers”, both in articles like this and from people who’ve been published by them, just sounds like a huge grift, tbh.

A sunny saturday and a pair of tattoos, this time by the amazing Joaquin Ardiles who produces probably my fave flash sheets I’ve seen. Joaquin took great care of me and I love my new little pals!

1978 commercial for Jovan Sex Appeal aftershave animated by Richard Williams and based Frank Frazetta's painting 'Against the Gods'. Never for evil! 🔥🔥🔥

“There can be only one”

“And that’s the bottom line”

First page of inks for The Legend of La Mariposa - Scourge of the Squared Circle are done!! Feels so good to sit at the drawing board with pen in hand again.

Is this the best, most buckwild Dracula adaptation going? Evidence is pointing to yes.

Food takes but WITHOUT yucking other people’s yums. - Cold black coffee 🤝 spicy food - There is no bad topping for a pizza. - It’s better to err toward medium with ribeye steak - Rosemary is the best herb - Being a food purist is daft - Smoking makes everything taste better

I guess I’ll go ahead and create a new beloved media franchise as a replacement for Harry Potter. It’s going to be called The Cool Anthony Chronicles and once I’m rich I’m going to become extremely terrible

I’ve added my signature to the CCIC’s report, asking DCMS for investment in comics. Read the report at www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/The-Power-of... to see how support from the government means new opportunities for everyone in comics and sign at forms.gle/mk6iTZK9yUDV...

I’m so sick of this weak, craven, cruel country and its weak, craven, cruel “leadership”. Constantly capitulating to frothing fringe lunatics and wealthy idiots rather than actually doing their job and safeguarding the wellbeing of their constituents.

Super excited to start work on the newest Legend of La Mariposa story ‘Scourge of the Squared Circle’! This is gonna be a biggun and it’s shaping up to be my best work yet! Hope you’ll join me for the ride! Watch this space! Why not check out the other books at longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com? 🤼
