Just arrived in the mail - the comic adaptation of one of the most gruelling true stories Ive ever read! Im only a few pages in and already hooked. By @worstjourney.bsky.social

Started drawing Bad Space's first Chinese space mission, circa 2035. And because I am a nerd, I gotta make sure the crew's space suits are bang on. The ref photos are their planned moon suits, which debuted just last year!

Velociraptor I cast in bronze, in pieces over past couple of weeks - from a 3d model by Clynche Art. Lots of learning in pouring and putting this together, but huge improvement on what Ive done before! Stoked!

New comic up! Featuring Time travel, redcaps and REVEEENGE! www.badspacecomics.com/post/last-ch...

After a bit of back and forth to get the perfect book, we did it. It’s finally on our shelves. No more preorders, it’s ready, it’s real, and numbers are limited. Get it here: themansionpress.com/collections/...

Time for some hard core sciencing? Don’t mind if I do.

Drawing a soldier sucked to his death in a big ass space hole?: super fkn cathartic. Can recommend.

My friend stitched me this and wow do I feel seen.

Indie comics publisher @fantagraphics.bsky.social is being robbed of millions of dollars' worth of merchandise by the distributor Diamond to pay for the latter's bankruptcy. Fantagraphics is running a sale to help cover these costs - 30% off everything on their website through Mon: Fantagraphics.com

Support @fantagraphics.bsky.social!!!!!

Sean Plunket’s words for @misswhanau.bsky.social on The Platform. This is the vile misogynist crap our women leaders have to put up with. These men stir up hate and violence, they preach racism and sexism and they are allowed to get away with it.

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy

Oo just realised i could animate the drawing I was working on, so I did. Thats all. 🤣

Two comic masters on the nightmare of Gaza: Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelman.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

New comic underway. And that means a new character. I do try to avoid the generic “pretty face” common to many comics (and Hollywood for that matter) so I spend a lot of time making sure my character’s faces reflect something about their (no doubt) tortured inner landscape.

Just found this gem by the dark and hilarious @grickle.bsky.social hidden in a pile at my local comic shop! Stoked!

Ordered! Beyond excited for this new book by @decassette.bsky.social

New comic up on my Patreon: the causality violation problem with faster than light travel. And also explosions, for you heathens.

Did some metal casting this weekend. Lil bronze Darwin! Protip for next time: maybe don’t wear slippers 🤦‍♂️

Moving parts around and then redrawing - until, finally I’m less frustrated and angry. The magic of drawing, folks!

First pass a bit all over the place.

Updated it 😅

Whats she looking at then? Fav panel today for exclusive Patreon comic i’m scratching away at

Pro tip for Bad Space readers; if you see a hand in one of my comics? It’s mine everytime. Man, woman, astronaut, capitalist scum, alien, doesn’t matter. I love my hands and i will draw them every chance i get.

This is the comic you didn’t know you needed in your life right now.

Holy shit it finally came!!!!! Thank you @badspacecomics.bsky.social for all your hard work and terrifying thoughts compiled into one book, beautifully printed by The mansion press. And the extra prints and stickers are a brilliant touch! #badspace #horror #scottbase #books #graphicnovels

NZ joins the UK, and 24 other countries, in saying the war in Gaza ‘must end now’ My #cartoon today #NZpol

Printing and painting props for reference. And because any bloody excuse to make spacesuits. Obviously.

So excited to have the genius of @badspacecomics.bsky.social in my hands. Must remember to read it in portions though. One can only take so much at one time.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks focused on storyboarding my first full length graphic novel - and oh boy: I’ve just hit the halfway point! Going to take a few days off now to focus on a fresh SHORT story for you Bad Space traditionalists. Such a bloody martyr for you guys. 😅

I’m glad Ray is finally being exposed. But let’s not forget another councillor who has persistently fanned the flames of rumour against Tory from the very beginning. Yes, Nicola Young. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-...

Amen

@badspacecomics.bsky.social Got my two copies of the super fancy slipcased editions and they are GORGEOUS. Congratulations, Sir! Sincerely delighted I can finally hold this in my hand.

yeah cause a vote delegation and sexual harrassment are apparently the same 🙄

Amazing! I still havent seen my copy, so am loving the preview!!🤣😍

This is a thing of beauty ! And the first story hits hard. @badspacecomics.bsky.social thanks !

Favourite thing ive read today: parody of my short story The Suit www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/9...

Signing book plates into the small wee hours. 😇

The world is on fire, but while it burns, why not read Ned Wenlock's award-winning (Kiwi) graphic novel Tsunami, out now in North America (in English or French editions) from Editions Pow Pow: editionspowpow.com/en/products/...

A fan made game of The Suit! store.steampowered.com/app/3736560/...

Some artwork I didn’t end up using in my latest comic, and the reference photo i took of my partner to base it on. She was whinging about the indignity of it at the time.

COCHLEA & EUSTACHIA is the 2nd place for most popular comic on the Comic Fury website! If everybody reading this could take a moment and click through some (or all) my comic pages in the link below, we could nudge it up into 1st place! chromefetus.thecomicseries.com

Whew! Just finished longest Bad Space comic yet. Full version up on my patreon!

My reading for today. The Mansion Press sent me a sample pack of some of their other titles and damn, look at all these BEAUTIFUL books and comics. Including some of my all time favs Josh Simmons, Dave Cooper and @hansrickheit.bsky.social

Printing update: at printers as we speak and will begin shipping in late June, if all goes smoothly!
