Okay if you don't have this you NEED this. It's got strong feels in it, supremely relatable, ultimately reinforcing, and has the BEST depiction of the Grim Reaper I've ever read.

I'm taking part in a free stamp rally at Thought Bubble btw! Go to table B40 in the 2000AD Hall to pick up a stamp card and collect a MEATY prize pack, including these COOL IMPs I am currently herding. Everyone on the stamp card is in the 2000AD Hall, and the prize is in Bubbleboy!

Welp. Just discovered that someone is putting out a paid collection --over 200 pages-- that looks to be a Spanish language history of Garfield parody comics that may contain some of my work.
While part of me is flattered, my permission was never asked.

AI usually means Arseholes Involved. It’s a thieving, hollowing and unethical beast of a thing. It has no place in an ethical, decent society. It has no place in Hookland and never will.

My biggest tip for coloring is think of it like an equation:
Decide your most important factors, what limits that, what draws attention to that, then build everything else around that.
For instance: This object is the most important and must be orange.

Can’t tell you how much I’ve loved editing for Quindrie.
Truly gutting it's so hard out there that an indie enterprise so successful, with such fantastic work and community support can’t continue. But very honoured to have been involved with them & massively 2nd-hand proud of what they’ve achieved-

This is insanity. People are being pushed to the brink, here. The Democrats had their chance to actually stand up to the Republicans, force them to take responsibility for their actions, and they caved.
If things don't get better, soon? I wouldnt be surprised to see full blown riots.

When Quindrie press launched it shook my world. I loved Inhibit Eve’s webcomic for a while and getting to follow a project by them that had such a scale was exciting. The fact is Quindrie changed the way cartoonists in Scotland thought about comics. 🧵

Seeing how much Eve achieved in such a short time shows how much love, commitment and knowledge was put into something that was not only a big part of the Scottish Indie Comic Scene, but the UK as a whole. Wishing you all the best Eve for the future, you’re blessed with a community that adores you ♥️

I'm still publishing books 2 & 3 in the future– just under Thunderstorm Studios, the personal label that Eve & I use for our projects. Thank you to anyone who ever bought a copy of Recoil 💙❤️
