A Mischief of Magpies Variant Cover Happy to have created this wraparound cover for @sispurrier.bsky.social and @matiasbergara.bsky.social fantastic new book from DSTLLRY. Made this over a year ago, so happy to finally share it with you. This also ended up being the largest painting I ever made.

Here's a version which isn't stuffed into a tiny little box (why, bluesky- what happened to the carousel?) SPARK 5-CAN Control Net Activated Part of a spaceship series, experiments with style and compositions, a mystery ship and diagrams. Inspired by rad vintage arcade games and alien languages

Self-employed people! Sorry to put a downer on your Sunday, but in case you'd not seen, the Government wants us to pay our tax *monthly* like we're employees or something With the World Cup and all the politics, I'd missed the consultation they put out last month, which is here: 1/

SUMMON THE STARS

Here's that piece in progress btw! it's halftones and ink layered up on gold card. 100% H. I - human idiot made! Experimenting! the manual transfer process makes a super weathered look. And there is my very human hand in front of it ;-) #art

and in case you thought it was because that piece is very digitally and glitchy, insta have also labelled this charcoal piece (from years ago!) as Ai, as well as this photo of a gold and halftone physical piece I'm working on. tiring stuff. So be wary of 'AI detectors' on artwork. totally crap.

Watch out artists, insta is now auto adding wrong labels to your art. Doesn't seem to be a way to get them to remove it. Just for the record, my work is 100% human idiot made, always has been, always will be. #art

Thank you, thanks for coming. Yeah so I'm Murray the demonic comic and the first one who notes I'm not standing up gets their puny soul consigned to oblivion everlasting, bwahaha

SUMMON THE STARS

[HEX/CODE] is a personal project I'm working on between other pieces, combining magic, sci fi, fantasy, tech, runes, circuit boards, engraving & making my own little world with them. Aiming to make a zine someday, & have some pieces in my US print/poster shop www.inprnt.com/gallery/carl... #art

doodling warm up, some ideas for my science fantasy technomagic project [HEX/CODE]

Chimneys, turrets, the usual

I don't care that it was posted 7 months ago. It's cool.

Reminder that I'm on the latest episode of Make it then tell everybody, talking to @thingsbydan.co.uk about finishing comics, artist Gipi, low paid goblins and something he calls "squeezing the kitten". You can listen to it here: www.patreon.com/posts/163914...

What could be even better than a hardcover omnibus? A paperback omnibus you don't have to bend at the knees to lift! Space nuns, megacorporations, a down on its luck crew of delivery drivers, and just look at this mind-melting art from @cjward.bsky.social

Anyway HAPPY FRIDAY today could be a good day to preorder my upcoming fantaspionage (??) novel WICKHILLS! :D A man A plan A canal ... wait us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

CONTROL NET ACTIVATED #art #ttrpg

I came up with a joke about Argo but it got old. 🥲🥲🥲 I read that passage 35 years ago, and thinking about it still makes me tear up. Poor Argo. Clearly the best boy.

I came up with a joke about Charybdis, but it sucked.

Do you have #KidLit (picture bks up thru MG and YA) book recommendations? Post below in the thread! The more recently published, the better. Authors & illustrators: feel free to tell people about your latest book! Thanks to @scalzi.com & @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social for inspiring this thread.

I came up with a joke about Cassandra, but no one believes me.

I came up with a joke about Orpheus, but it needs a second look

This is getting a lot of likes quickly and will break the literary containment airlock. We publish creative writing where every piece mentions Taco Bell. tacobellquarterly.org

Details from SPARK 4! 🚀 grimy crunchy painted halftones and patterns! and a little nod to one of my favourite spaceships :-) #art #space

oh boy do I have a recommendation for ya'll

If I may

SPARK 1-4 This is a piece I come back to & redraw in different ways as a super fun style experiment (i also just love to draw rockets!) . It started out as the two super long pieces, became a cropped version, a painted halftone style & now wild painted pixel combos. You get em in my US shop ;-) ⬇️

The number one email/message query I get at Uncanny is, "When are your reopening to submissions?" NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE ME TELL YOU A DEFINITIVE HAPPY ANSWER! :D Which is definitely better than, "The Kickstarter failed, so never again."
