Hello BlueSky. I'm looking at which socials to put effort into in 2026 for my illustration portfolios. Is this the one?! Give this a like if you see it. Ben-OBrien.com

Advertising also needs a plan. And better copywriting. And Art Direction. A good idea in the first place.

Look! Signed by Tyler Kirkham! I’m over the fucking moon!

Too easy

I’m not planning a trip to the USA in the immediate future, but I don’t think it should get me banned if I point out that Trump’s post about the brutal killing of Rob Reiner and his wife is unhinged.

Walking into 2026

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Stressful week. Went and did the best thing for me - got insanely muddy down a steep hill.

Some Christmas humor 😂😂😂🎅🏻

Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but not intentionally. They rented the office to film in over the Christmas break and the decorations were already up. McTiernan didn't want to have to take them down and put them back up (risking losing his deposit) so he rewrote the script to set it at Christmas.

A classic. For good reason.

I don't think I've seen a rainbow this intense outside of Scotland 🌈 #photography

Nice coincidence. Especially remembering the lyric: ‘I think of of all the education that I missed. But then my homework was never quite like this’

Not so lucky

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I love the concept. I love the story. The film totally wastes the opportunity to build the world. And tell the story well. And the alley fight scene is utterly ridiculous. But I can’t help but love this movie.

CMAT!!! Astonishing!

It's amazing how often I have cause to post this cartoon of mine. Two armchairs vulgarly roasting each other.

Back once again for the renegade master D for damager Power to the people

Just seen Wet Leg live. Awesome. Like the Pixies, LCD Sound System and Blondie all mashed together with a whole new take. Real rock star attitude with the songs to back it up.

Coming from the UK, one gets used to this kind of speculation.

Best shelf and best light in my home studio.

Honestly, the fucking elite privilege on display here is off the fucking charts.

Anti-hero joke klaxon

Re. Halloween firefighters, police officers, witches, zombies, elves etc. don’t usually wear hot pants. Vampires do wear fishnets though. That seems legit.

1. She designed the London Underground map. 2. She can burp the alphabet up to the letter ‘P’. 3. She wears the skin of her victims. 4. She was Hair and Make-up on Red Dwarf. 5. She’s in the Epstein Files.

Friend: Can you recommend any great graphic novels I should read? Me: *lists loads of amazing graphic novels my friend would absolutely love* Friend: They sound perfect. Which ones can I borrow first? Me:… you can come over and look at them whilst wearing gloves in a controlled environment

Finished Atlas Shrugged. I wanted to understand what all the fuss is about. Fuck me, what a didactic hot mess it turned out to. How do people get through this @dorianlynskey.bsky.social @iandunt.bsky.social ?

A kingfisher lives at the bottom of my garden!

Why do so many handwriting fonts look like they'd be written by someone who shouts, "Put the fucking lotion in the basket!"?

I went on a bat walk. Using a monitor that can hear their clicks as they search for food. I’m inept and they’re too rapid for me to catch them on film. But I thought you’d like to hear the sound of a Noctule Bat. The UK’s largest species.

Sometimes I worry that I've wasted my life. Then I think about how many people I've managed to reach through social media, and realise I've probably wasted thousands of lives.

Woke up this morning to discover this stuck to my cheek. Spider season is here.

That can’t be comfortable

Judge Fire joins the collection. Only Mortis to go and we have the four dark judges together at last.

This post has made me so happy today.

Saw some Warhol yesterday.

Saw ‘Boy’ by Ron Mueck today. Just amazing.

The Metro completes its transition to provincial newspaper in Kent market town.

So good

When the weather turns so nice I think of David Lee Roth. I think he understands summer better than anyone else.

Some advertising for London’s newest edgy coffee brand.

Happy to share some new work for a brand of coffee that’s sure to take London by storm.

There are many many worlds in a 10km radius. More than you may ever imagine.

Yes my wife is away working for three days. No, you’re having chips on two of those nights.

Just want to say a heartfelt thanks. I didn’t expect to win World’s Greatest Dad, again, for the 24th year in a row. But I’m grateful and humbled. Congratulations to all the other dads around the world. I’m not sure where you came, but let’s pretend it was second place. There’s always next year.
