Just got back from Akira in IMAX and now I'm going to make @drbrainstorm.bsky.social put an Akira bike slide in the next Thunderclash book.

Also, buy my stuff, did I mention? LOOK AT ALL THE COOL JUNK I AM FLOGGING.

Never posted the physical version of this Drift comission! It came out right good it did.

ALSO I've been having the MOST fun SHAMELESSLY ripping off Messrs Watterson and Schulz for some Li'l Turbos backup strips in the next issue of Thunderclash Goes Bananas (The upcoming 'Hunt for Hyperdrive'). Here's a sample!

Alright, let's go double duty, I've got the bandwidth (just about). Hello #portfolioday, I'm Jim, I draw robots, I draw spooky things, ideally in the form of 'comical books'. Maybe even both in the same story, it's your dime. Here, as is traditional, are four pictures to back up my claims.

Hello #portfolioday – comic book letterer here ready and willing to work on YOUR next book. Drop me a DM if you've got a letterer-sized gap in your life.

I love Lower Decks so much. The books are awesome too, 100% worth a look if you enjoyed the show.

THAT SAID, while the old art career might be in the metaphorical toilet, my band has two gigs in the diary this year and we're sounding brilliant. So that's something. Not a financial something, but still, a good something.

Ah, portfolio day rolls around again, just in time to make me feel bad about my art and lack of any meaningful success. I really should get off the Internet.

Imagine being fifteen now and growing up with kindles and comics on a tablet. OF COURSE you'd be instantly obsessed to come across an old marvel book from the early 80s, it would be a revelation. The tactility, the interaction, the ADVERTS... glorious. I could understand a sea change for sure.

#portfolioday - the closing image to accompany the script reading at TFNation 2024. Pulling rank I insisted this was how the story needed to end. One of those times you know you are 100% right and are vindicated by the reaction

#portfolioday I'm James, I draw robots and monsters and have been known to draw humans. Contact in bio.

Sketchin' while they're in my thoughts.

do you ever feel like "you know how bonkers good I at comics, what's wrong with you imbeciles?? do you hate money???" but you can't say that because it makes you look conceited

Artists, show us your red art 🩸 Well, it's red-ish

Still taking pre-orders on this.

Some of my favorite pages from the last three years of Thunderclash Goes Bananas (that I've drawn, the rest is even better...) We're back again this year, bigger and better, even more special guests, some new faces, and even some old returning team members. It's shaping up beautifully!

This is but a small sample of what awaits you in this year’s book. Thunderclash: Hunt for Hyperdrive will be available at TFN 2026!

Updated version of my most tattooed piece (updated because the old one is like looking at embarrassing baby photos!). People still keep getting the old one inked though!

This was the mascot I designed for Collection toys. See if you can guess all the characters he's assembled from...

“If you didn’t want your art stolen/scraped by ai, you shouldn’t have posted it on the internet” Oh my gosh you’re right, from now on I’ll hang my art on the bulletin board in the town square, and hope I get patronage from the local wealthy art-loving benefactor, my bad 😔

I’ll bite.

Finished up my little animation of Impactor copping it in the Transformers Marvel UK classic, Target:2006. Made completely in Clip Studio, based off the art of Will Simpson.

I was formatting one of the articles in the "War Stories" TF zine I'm working on and Red Dwarf was mentioned then before I knew it...this happened. #art

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Fucking horrendous. Is this worth your cartoon avatar? Your crap logo? Stop. Using. AI.

Drew this Beast Wars character for use in the Transformers RPG. Calling him Piranacon after the G1 Decepticon combiner. (Two guesses what he turns into!) #transformers #art #drawing #beastwars #predacon

I’ve got a few fun things planned for the big Megalomaniacs event this Saturday, but I needed some artwork printed asap. Shout out to @comicprintinguk.bsky.social who once again smashed it 💪

Washing machine has packed in. Is there a duller piece of expensive busywork that replacing a washing machine? Even the fridge seems exotic and interesting in comparison.

And a classic from yesteryear.

One of my favorite bands is back with this banger!

I hate AI so much. So. Much. Please stop trying to make me use AI. I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮 I will die on this hill. It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us. I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.

Guys, making comics is such hard work and also the most fucking fun. I love this.

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

It's Freelance Peacekeeping Agent versus Bounty Hunter! When you draw something with a potential audience of three people - you're doing it for love of the game!

Toyetic Scorponok commission from last year that I never got around to coloring...

YOU'RE ALL MINE, UNICRON!! art by me.

Infinity Roar 4 Variant Cover. I didn't get color this one, and I don't know why the cover wasn't shown. Loved drawing Rodan. #Art #Cover #Marvel #Thanos #Rodan
