Super excited to start work on the newest Legend of La Mariposa story ‘Scourge of the Squared Circle’! This is gonna be a biggun and it’s shaping up to be my best work yet! Hope you’ll join me for the ride! Watch this space! Why not check out the other books at longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com? 🤼

Surprise!! I’ll have a new Legend of La Mariposa comic at Thought Bubble this year! This is the first part of a longer story and I’ve only printed a limited run, so come grab some while stocks last!

This is about Wildwood, by the way

People scratching their heads about why original films do so poorly in the box office, meanwhile my local cinemas are only doing three showings a day, down to two after the first weekend.

Bronze Age Fantasy is where it’s at! Plus Ramon is good people. Get it read!

Postie put the FILTH through my letterbox today. Cannot wait to paw through this properly!

Working away on LoLM: Scourge of the Squared Circle and having fun drawing cannon fodder!

Left: I relieve you. Right: I stand relieved.

Wrong’uns

Might be time to retire this pencil.

Watching the new GITS anime and feeling real weird about Batou lecturing trafficked girls about their SOS causing rich creeps to get injured like it’s a bad thing.

Damn government alert startled me so much I nearly dropped my sparkler

What if, right, the Roman invasion of Britain but make it a Go Nagai super robot anime? Anyway, here’s a Wicker Mech, DO YOU GET IT

I learned how to make a courgette pipe* today! *music, not crime** **unless…

Love that all the participants in the procession are geared up in period clothing but the charioteer is just in a polo and baseball cap, like “I built this bloody thing, that’s cosplay enough”.

Playing with ideas for a retired Wing Chun assassin who opens a cat café as a halfway house for street cats.

Been playing Hearts of Stone and it’s got me in a cossack kinda mood! Most of ‘em inspired by the excellent Ilya Repin painting.

Samaritans Report a 40% increase in calls from the Trans Community since April 2025. I telephoned the Samaritans n 1969, in 1971, in 1974, and in 1978 I am still here because of those calls. Call the Samaritans, anytime for free any, from any phone, on 116 123 www.samaritans.org/news/samarit...

Sketchbook doodles Inspired by the little shinobi who like to whiz around my neighbourhood on weekends

I’ve made time to tuck into Manly Wade Wellman’s John the Balladeer stories after finding out about him from a @schweizercomics.bsky.social drawing a while back. It’s great, classic weird tales-style fiction set in Appalachia and written in that dialect. This particular line goes pretty hard.

I will be there… and I will have a new book, I hope!

Absolutely one of my favourite gag articles of all time. Crease every time I read it.

Comics artists! You’re all doing this, right?? If you’ve got any work published in something with an ISBN or ISSN, register with this payback scheme and simply receive free money later in the year. It is that simple. Do it! Love you.x

I like the idea of gearmakers in the world of LoLM having shamanistic roles and abilities while still being very pragmatic craftspersons. Less inclined towards pageantry (they leave that to their clientele), but with a clear understanding of the mysticism of masking and the Road To Glory.

Just seen a Kickstarter trying to charge 13 quid for a 50-odd page PDF?? I understand the need for higher prices on print books and shipping, but I dunno how those factors apply to digital goods. Digital goods are zero overhead so you price low to get more pledges in the door? What am I missing?

Fraser nailing it here. We badly need RM pulling back into public ownership because it’s getting absurd. I want to do another Kickstarter eventually but each year that passes it seems less and less feasible.

Beep Bop Boop

This is GREAT!! Go give it a read.

COWARDS

Seeing people get into histrionics about this question the same way they do about “what brush is that” and tbh the person asking is probably young and trying to learn. They’re picking up on surface level stuff and focusing on that because they’re still learning to look deeper. Be civil, be open!

Posted off some of these bad lads yesterday so they are now even MORE rare! longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com 🤼

Stumbled across 5 copies of the first Legend of La Mariposa book, The Demon Gauntlet! These are the last available copies of this book as there’s no plans to reprint it! Grab one at longlivelamariposa.bigcartel.com while you can!! 🤼

I’m VERY excited to see what happens to this awful mural once it’s finished.

Another sketchbook witch, this time with a boggy kinda vibe.

The Wrasslin’ Shelf continues to to grow in wealth and power with the addition of some long-overdue artefacts!

It’s this mind of brainrot from think tanks that froze the momentum of the Harris/Walz campaign. People need to stop listening to these clowns both in the US and the UK. They are not smart people.

Ew, this is my mayor as well. Same mayor that’s allowing the council and private landlords to extort and strangle small businesses across her remit.

Crow witch! Inspired by @wocco.bsky.social ‘s approach to witches

Sketchbook raccoons!

Broccoli turns a really nice shade when you throw it in the boiling water.

Been doing a huge catch-up of @aewontv.bsky.social recently so here’s a quick drawing of one of my faves, @Bandido!! Kinda went in a snakey direction with his gear, not sure why!

10 Things I hate about Dune

Chapter one of the new Legend of La Mariposa is in the bag!
