Heading out for lunch with my folks. Walking down the path, my mum loudly says… “What’s that badge? Is it a poppy? Oh no it’s your Nazi badge!” The badge in question…

I was just leafing through 1725 occult tome The Secret Magic of Abramelin the Mage in search of scary invocations for the BOOK, and I came across this list of subordinate spirits to the princes of Hell.

This may interest some of you: The first space opera by a Black Author, John P. Moore's THE MARTIAN TRILOGY, is now available, thanks to the work of Dr. Lisa P. Yaszek and others. Originally published in THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION in 1930. www.amazon.com/Martian-Tril...

Warning to all UK and worldwide comics folk. Never have anything to do with Frazer Brown. If you don't know why, google Tales From The Quarantine.

Ah well, isn't that a shame for poor little Space Karen.

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

US folks… 1. Good luck at the polls. ✊🏻 2. When are results expected?

A District Judge has cleared Tommy Robinson on a terror charge because he found Robinson had a protected belief. How does that pass the 5th limb of the Grainger test? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Warmup from this morning, redid my Atticus Blue ship design in a different rendering style and pushed the saturation a lot. I hope you all dig it! 💙 www.artstation.com/artwork/x3XOKr

Response to this seems positive, so I'm gonna do it. Would it be helpful to include templates in a pack, too? For Photoshop and Clip Studio, with the appropriate guidelines in place for pages.

Hey astronomy and stellar physics people… If I was inside the sun, would it be light or dark? Thanks, my brain at 4:13am this morning. #Astronomy #Astrophysics #SolarPhysics

Day 3 of Xenovember marches on, as does my love for the #dog #alien from Alien 3. This #drawing was done as a warm up for the #illustration I posted a couple of days ago.

Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix demand OpenAI stop using their content to train AI

Really enjoyed working on the spaceships for this game. This Gunship is the first, five more to come.

Good news, American friends. My cult novel EMBERS OF WAR will be $2.99 on Kindle US for the whole of November! Grab your copy and find out why readers fall head-over-heels in love with the main character, even though she's a warship! www.amazon.com/Embers-War-G...

*t-shirt choice subject to availability (we're very low/completely out of some sizes) also if you don't truck with competitions believing them to be cheap marketing, you can simply buy a mag via the link below to ostentatiously read in the coffee shop/on the bus & let people know you're smart & hot

it hasn't helped sell any mags but it appears our nonsense on here has just pushed our account over 5K 'followers', so let's embrace that as some kind of achievement! Like & repost this to be in with a chance to win every in-print issue of Wyrd Science & a t-shirt of your choice*

Honored to have my illustration Neo Mars featured on the cover of Clarkesworld for November 2025. clarkesworldmagazine.com

Quite a few folk!
