Ok an introduction post since we’re all new here. I’m a cartoonist who sometimes get published in places like Private Eye. I also like doing art challenges and occasional caricatures of politicians and famous folk
Private Eye cartoon of dinosaurs and comet says “the polls aren’t looking good” with a graph showing mammals overtaking dinosaurs Cartoon from weekly comp with octopuses the caption is “No tentacles on the table” Caricature of Iris Elba from the January ISCA caricature challenge I like drawing goldfish in space for a weekly shape challenge comp when you have to incorporate a shape into your artwork

Ok so at Lent I typically try and give up something and regret it. Here’s a #cartoon from previous years of me trying to give up sweet biscuits #lent
When you’re giving up biscuits EVERYTHING around you makes you think of biscuits

#goshBFDD final round goat. The things with trolls is you can try it with the small and mid goats but eventually you get the big goat (unless that is just a fairy tale) @brokenfrontier.bsky.social
Eventually you get the big goat (hopefully)

Diary comics thread for hourly comics day ✏️ intro/9am
#hourlycomicday #MEcfs #ChronicIllness
graphic reads ‘hourly comics day disability diaries’ with a drawing of me (white nonbinary guy w black facial scruff & short green hair) lying in bed looking shattered. Lower text reads ‘hello. I make comics, and—‘ “This year’s my 10 year anniversary of chronic illness (ME/CFS)” - a small cartoon of me with a balloon going ‘wow!!’ then ‘…wait.’ In an inset past year’s comic, I’m going ‘hopefully later I’ll be well enough to draw a little!’ but end up lying still in bed all day - ‘alas’. “*8 years of my illness being “moderate to severe” = mostly bedbound, unable to walk down the street or prepare a meal without collapsing.” “I’ve been making a day of hourly comics every February since I first got ill” (some pics of many years worth of hourlies,w ith me waking up feeling exhausted, too ill to sit up) “It can be hard, but it means a lot to share the reality of my daily life honestly and to hear from others in the same boat. So here’s Hourly comics day 2026” - a small baloon now reads ‘still here!’ next to the same drawing as the first, me now waking up. 9am - “good morning my body feels like it’s been run over by a train’

Monday #mythicalmashup I hope the news is less abominable this week (yeti + park bench) - felt a bit old fashioned drawing someone drawing a physical newspaper on a bench

Here’s my completed #caricatureresolution2026 with 31 portraits with varying amounts of time spend on them and varied degrees of success but it’s always a great challenge to sharpen the skills as well as seeing everyone’s excellent work. Thanks to those who organised the list.
