Saturday is @illustratorsfair.bsky.social See you there maybe.

Since the dissolution of whatever twitter was, for good or for bad (mostly good, that place could be a real rat hole sometimes) it’s been hard to ‘find yer people’. I hope in some small way Make It Then Tell Everybody helps people find theirs.

The campaign for the new graphic novel by the team that brought you MUGSHOTS and EXORCISM ISLAND is now live! Aliens, government conspiracies, Nazis and terrible choices in 1930s England Jump in now for early bird offers and rare variants Shares appreciated! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bur...

Chris' work is so inspiring to me and every part of this one-person book project has been approached with a care and attention above and beyond what most people, I believe, could manage. A must!

Way ahead of you!

Footering with ways to colour the really ink heavy pages of Stramash these pages were drawn straight down in ink and they were my attempt at Peter Howson style figures and German expressionism rather than proper drawing

I wrote a bit more about this on a free Patreon post, what I do and don’t want the Make It Then Tell Everybody podcast to be, how I want it to work and what some of my ambitions for the future are.

Absolutely wonderful evening at @butserancientfarm.co.uk for the burning of their wicker man - THE AMESBURY ARCHER- hence my talking on the Bronze Age. Drums, music, art in beautiful countryside. The sound of the carnyx too as the man burned. Here’s to 2027! #archaeology #wickerman #beltane

I think @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social might be a genius

Well.

He pities the (April) fool. One from a long old time ago.

Up to about 80 frames of animation now... I filmed the oscilloscope on one of my korg synths for some of the facial expressions.

Doing my annual rewatch of X-FILES. Used some footage I shot whilst hiking on the moors last week. Layered a few warbly keys of that iconic music for the sound. I'm more a monster-of-the-week man myself, but maybe you like the little grey men more?

Wherein I talk about Alex Automatic and other comics stuff and try to remember issue numbers and comics bought in the dawn of time. There is a reason Fraser does all the sexy customer facing stuff! ( honestly it was fun, I am not as scary as I seem if anyone else wants to interview me) Thanks Ian
