Illustration for @newstatesman1913.bsky.social on Nigel Farage’s love affair with America and more importantly - money. So naturally here he is cosplaying as Uncle Sam, emerging from a Capitol Hill shaped cake filled with dollars. Thanks @gerrylb.bsky.social for always giving me the best briefs x

Bought a bunch of cards featurung the art of @jackmrhughes.bsky.social and I love them. Do not come for me and my pretty cardboard. 😁

Can anyone explain to me how the new US tariffs will affect people in the US buying signed Magic AP's from my online shop here in the UK?

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

Rewatching Twin Peaks (after watching it for the first time just a few months ago) and knowing everything there it so know (that I can remember) it makes for SUCH a sumptuous rewatch.

Cool, cool

Conan could never.

‘Terrasymbiosis’ from Magic: The Gathering’s most recent set ‘Edge of Eternities’.

My first foray into watercolour sketches for Magic artist proofs vs the latest. I think I’ve improved a little?

My variant cover for Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #5 #dccomics #fireandice

Worked up this sketch over the weekend based off the finale of my 1920's cosmic horror D&D campaign we recently finished. Both characters had at least one level in Warlock, but very, very different pacts.

I spoke with NOS3. Magazine about my work, my influences and some of my favourite tracks! www.nos3magazine.com/magazine/cos...

I went bowling in an arcade yesterday with a group of friends. Won the bowling and beat the highest score on the King of the Hammer game (my arms are aching today, however).

Four posters, four sketches, four projects that never made.

Me holding things - 1, finished ‘Klara and the Sun’, loved Ishiguro’s subtle world building. 2, bought a bunch of pencils in colours I like. 3, started Catling’s ‘Hollow’, only a few chapters in but already loving it. 4, Doris.

Two (three) queens stand before you. Finally have my Olivia Voldaren and Marina Vendrell Artist Proofs up on my shop - of which has been given a big facelift! And because so many of you have been asking me (for years now!), I’ve finally added the option of colour sketches on the back of the cards.

How it feels to be practising my watercolour skills.

Almost finished with Klara vs what’s up next from my reading list.

Hey @playoverwatch2.bsky.social can I design a skin plz? Preferably Sombra or Symmetra, It’ll be really good I promise x

Updating my portfolio site and shop and made this cute category header gif for my Magic APs.

Some experimental pieces I did late the other day late at night, playing with all the layer effects in photoshop. Kinda fun!

Super excited to share my variant cover for DC Pride 2025! Featuring Alan Scott as Green Lantern and Vladimir Sokov as Crimson Flame.

Front page of every single UK newspaper today. Generative AI is theft.

Guys, I just finished my first ever comic book cover and I’m so happy with it! Can’t wait to share it!

QRP with your wings art 🦅

What movies make you cry no matter how many times you've seen them? For me the final scene in Suspiria between Josef and Suzy always breaks me. Honourable mentions - Arrival and Howl's Moving Castle, both for very different reasons lol.

Caught in the rain, but I can’t be mad when the view outside is this good.

QRP with something watery This one is from way back in 2019…

Me and my first commander (that I illustrated!)

‘How we misread The Great Gatsby’ - illustration for this week’s @newstatesman.com magazine. Lots of fun working on this one, was nice to revisit my illustrative roots of 1920’s suited gentlemen (with a plume of smoke for a head).

Guys, the other day I meticulously cleaned out the air vents in my iMac, turns out they were CAKED in dust. No wonder the fans went into overdrive anytime I did anything in Photoshop. My iMac is now silent even when I have a bunch of PSB files open. Plus Photoshop runs 10x smoother. Wild.

Felt cute headed to the gym this morning.

Very excited to finally show off my movie poster style treatments of vampire power couple Olivia Voldaren and Edgar Markov. AP’s of Mrs Voldaren will be available in the coming weeks, sadly there will be none for Mr Markov, however!

I did this! I’m so proud of it! It was such a blast to draw, a dream commission! Can’t wait to show off the high-res when I’m back in London at my desk :)

Testing watercolours with my Magic artist proof sketches. Might start offering a colour option in the shop if people are keen? I’m still rusty as fuck, haven’t used traditional media in over 10 years!

For my 30th over the holiday break my wonderful partner got me a one of a kind MTG sketched artist proof of my fave commander - Rocco, Street Chef! 🍗 I can’t wait to play a game with them leading the deck. Thanks so much for the beautiful sketch @jackmrhughes.bsky.social ✨

Merry Chrimbus everyone, here’s the best Christmas song ever - m.youtube.com/watch?v=MdBO...

I have so much work to do in-between now and the end of January when all I want to do is stream BG3 and drink wine.

Played some games of the new 6v6 in Overwatch 2 and man... it’s so fun.

A misty and ominous London feels very appropriate reading weather for VanderMeer’s ‘Absolution’. Which I must add I am loving.

"unintentional cyberpunk at the Whole Foods" is the title of my new image book.

QRP with red art Her <3

The visual clutter of Marvel Rivals is... a bit much, and this is coming from an Overwatch 1 player.

The tree is up!

Finally launched my site! Would love if people could repost and share any feedback :) www.jack-hughes.com Have still yet to properly integrate my shop so for now it currently links to my old shop.

Wanting to text him ‘I miss you’ but realising you set boundaries. Being an adult is hard so I’ll just post the thought here instead haha.
