literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

We’ve been working on this for a while, felt quite daunting as there is so much to cover. But, after attending an event last week where I had a very rough time through their lack of info, I was spurred to finish it. Thank you @schnumn.bsky.social and Leeds Special Autism Services for their input!

We've put together a What to Expect Guide at Thought Bubble Comic Convention 2026 for those who are Autistic, have anxiety, sensory issues, access needs or generally just like to know what to expect! Take a look: thoughtbubblefestival.com/whattoexpect

Woo! I'll be getting my copy at TB. The first book is a wonderful mix of physical comedy and heart-felt moments. I'm excited to have more!

Pouring one out for Bioware this morning, and thinking of their rise and fall across such a long period. It's oddly close to home, for someone who never worked there, and only in an adjoining industry. But I did get to see behind the curtain once, and it stuck with me.

I still really like these old weird doodles. I find it fun to write little blurbs and things when I draw characters though they don't always get shared along with the art. Maybe I should move forward in expressing the full breadth of the weirdos I draw haha

Me and my perspective grid against the world

This is beautiful and also a textbook example of how to design an image so you can reuse it for a wraparound cover, a Kickstarter banner and much more. (Use the whole thing if you want landscape, use the right half if you want portrait.)

This is why it’s so much more important than ever to make sure your comic ✨has its own site✨ — this sucks so much because there’s goes a decent platform that elevated webcomics 🙃

BUILD YOUR OWN WEBCOMIC SITE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most people reading this post won't know Scottish artist and writer Will Tempest, but they ought to. He's great. Two volumes of his Short Sword collections are available through his own website, and we'd recommend them both. theslingsandarrows.com/short-sword-...

Ok, an update on this. It's made. It works. Now I'd value your input on what people think it should actually DO. I currently have a shortlist of 3 ideas. Welcoming more! Would appreciate a boost from UK #comics folk to get this in front of as many people as possible. #indiecomics #webcomics

🍂🐇Lady of Hares: Sunset🐇🍂 An illustration I completed a few weeks back! I wanted something that felt somewhere between a folk-art style and something art nouveau. The border is inspired by a pattern carved on the Nigg Stone (a very beautiful Pictish carved stone, look it up!)
