It’s true. We’ll all be there.

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

Writing Twice Boiled on my phone is going to absolutely ruin my predictive text.

This is actually hilarious 😂 🤣 The man makes some valid points, tho Shark, at home just minding its business, then here comes this stranger

Did I dream that the Judge Dredd TV series was being released as Mega City Psi Division? I'm pretty sure I did but it looked well good.

I'd share a photo of the page I did last night but it's in the kitchen and i'm un the lounge with a dog on me so it's impossible. You'll have to imagine: A 4-panel b&w abstract comic. Drawn onto a photo of some ivy roots, white paint and black ink disguise where the photo stops and drawing starts

Signal boost for all the graphic designers out there. Here’s a paid commission you might be interested in👇

A little Nazgul animation made for #tolktober. Rotoscope animation, printed on paper. Soundtracked with my micro cassette recorder.

The dog's slept long enough that I was able to finish this just now. Very, very good.

The doc I'm keeping lines for my next book is up to 2000 words now and I love nearly all of them

As I've been making pages for the sequel to Found Forest Floor I've been making a note on the back of the date and what I've been watching or what's been going on around me. Here's one from yesterday.

Hi y'all, Recently we found out that my brother has a heart condition and will require extensive care. To cover some of the costs I'm running fundraiser by taking up commissions. Most tiers are affordable so people get some good art while helping us out. Plus a $1000 for those who can spare more.💜💜

Here's a page from today's Patreon post, which has two notes (one of which is "um, no other notes") www.patreon.com/posts/170056...

Now three quarters funded! The target amount beckons from the sea, like a spooky beacon at night!

Note to self: When people ask if comics is my full time job, don't laugh out loud and say 'good god no'. And then, don't follow up with 'I'm recently unemployed'.

It's my table. Come and say hello.

I’ll lighten the clouds a lot but it also looks really cool right now too

I've been absolutely terrible at promoting this but I'll be at SCARF tomorrow! I'll have a variety of my comics including The Curse (abstract comic about the futility of creation - fun!) and Plants Not Pets, a collection of short comics. Will be going to sleep soon so I can be up to do the drive.

This is the Jen Orpin painting which inspired my story 'My Father The Motorway Bridge'... it depicts the bridge that reminds her of her late father... which is also the one just before the junction of the M25 where I take the M3 towards my parents' house the-modernist.org/collections/...

Here's the 100th page of The Curse. It's actually not very much like the other 105 pages I've done, but none of them are actually that similar to each other if I'm honest.

The new @kickstarter.com for Shaky Kane and I's sequel to WEIRD WORK is now live! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bur... We have a discounted tier for the first 48 hours and loads of Shaky Kane original art! Don't miss out. #comics #comicbooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionart #scifi #scifiart

I will be in the mighty Sheffield this weekend at the inaugral SCARF! (thats right Chris, you won't get away with just one!)

Here's one of those pages from yesterday

I often think about how the real thought-leaders and futurists are the ones who looked at -Internet of Things -NFTs -Metaverse -Gen AI and said, “nope, that’s terrible” in the face of hype cycles and industry-pivots. Many “innovation agencies” are just following the pack.

Three new The Curse pages available for free browsing on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/170056...

Oh god now I've got no excuse to not drive stuff my kids have forgotten into school for them. Not like I can pretend I have a meeting. FFS

Who remembers back in the 1970s wearing a mask like this from the corner shop, with a bit of slack elastic at the back, dressing in a black bin bag and hollowing out a turnip for a lantern? Not for Halloween or anything, just because we couldn't afford clothes or electricity, and were so ugly.

Spent the first Monday afternoon of my unemployment painting over printouts of my work with white acrylic paint. Which really is sort of what anybody could have seen coming.

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

Using birdsong field samples in your music is like wearing t-shirt emblazoned with a slogan in a language you don’t understand. Those birds could be chirping something really fucked up and if that music gets played somewhere that other birds can hear it, what are they going to think?
