Hey hey hey

Oh hey. I guess I can share this bit of concept art I was sitting on until the medieval adaptation panel was over yesterday (thanks to everyone who came along!) I’m currently neck deep in an old French werewolf story and my sketchbook is filling up with stuff like this.

Not only is Ciara's art beautiful, but it also often sends me down research rabbit holes as I try to catch up with her breadth of knowledge. I can't tell you how many times her newsletter alone caused me to spend an additional three hours reading Irish legends. Check out her shop!

really became familiar with his work through the covers he did for Talk Talk, and it’s always instantly recognizable to me — love this “wunderkammer” illustration for the Omni cover, makes me think of how he referenced his past work for Talk Talk for later compilation releases too

I was very lucky to join in a special event in Natural History Museum of Berlin today. Here are few sketches. Thank you @caroring.bsky.social !

Another sketchbook piece i've been meditating over in recent weeks, little Cabinet of Curiosities. Really enjoying having something like this on the side to doodle on.

Here's the red version of my new film poster artwork for The Bitter Tears of Zahra Zand. Drawn in pencil and charcoal. I hope I can make lots more film posters in the future, this was a blast!

I'm still accepting private commissions, and I'm free to join projects! If you know someone who knows someone that might need me, let them know please! <3

Pneumonia has hit me hard. Over the past two months, I've lost almost $20k of work, and by the time we get to January, I'll only have three projects left. Editors/writers/artists/publishers: if you're staffing new projects over the coming months, PLEASE keep me in mind as your letterer 🙏

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

Prints! Still a week or so to go if you're in Ireland and want to pick up a few bits. I'm hoping to shut up shop some time after next weekend and sleep for a week 😅

I was absolutely over the moon to get to illustrate this years Christmas RTÉ Guide 🎄✨ Christmas is one of my favorite things to paint, the cosiness, the warmth and magic of it all is exactly what I love to bring to my illustrations. Huge thanks to Catherine and all at The RTÉ Guide 💛

Well, the cat’s out of the bag. Very excited to have made the long list! What an honour!

Full cover wrap for Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Rome, a graphic novel guide to ancient history from @hachettechildrens.bsky.social written by @rikworth.bsky.social and drawn by me! Coming to UK bookstores 12 February and available for preorder now from your local bookshop or tinyurl.com/PetsRome

Aww man. Just lost one of my clients. If you know anyone who needs monthly website maintenance, graphic design, or anything send me a DM.

thinking about all the time and care put into shooting One Battle After Another and Sinners in niche film formats, and the sheer beauty of the results on projected celluloid. A Netflix-owned Warner Bros will still release movies; I doubt it will release movies like that.

I may come to regret this decision, but... SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with! Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part 🙏

Okay I have one more.

So @maxminervas.bsky.social just dropped their best sellers of 2025 and somehow Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Egypt is their best selling graphic novel. And look at that insane list! This makes no sense.

The walls are closing in. Any help you can offer, be it buying a comic, making a donation, or just sharing this post, would be a huge help. linktr.ee/AdManComics

What I’m wearing to the Bluesky Christmas party.

Hey everyone! Looking to fill some gaps in my schedule until the end of the year. Both comics (short stories, possibly single issues) and covers/pin-ups. Some samples below! And more in my portfolio here: ahmedraafathussein.myportfolio.com

AI can do one. Three weeks, several highs and abject lows and every second of that was mine and i keep every moment of it. A thousand lessons here that will inform every future work.

Just £25 will get you this small original drawing. Will fit into a 4x6" photo frame. It will make a lovely and thoughtful gift and can be sent direct with a card... folksy.com/find/item/85... #Bee #Lavender #OriginalArt #Drawing #TraditionalArtist #GiftIdeas #ShopIndy #SupportSmallBusiness #bsnm

The last piece of art I made that wasnt a collage. Started cutting paper the next day and never looked back.

If you see this post your bird art!

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.
