Who needs Valentine's Day tomorrow, when it's Friday the 13th today? We will definitely be curling up with a good (or possibly, trashy) horror movie tonight 💀

This creepy little ghoul by horror illustrator Trevin Wyant is perfect for today's mood 🖤

If you missed this before, you can still check out Darren's conversation with Tom Froese on the Thoughts on Illustration podcast, where they chat about issues familiar to so many illustrators today - pricing, late payments, confidence, mental health and lots more.

The second part of my short illustrated graphic novel style story ‘The First Day I Never Forgot’, set to when I was a young child living with my family in a Loyalist estate in Belfast. Currently a work in progress, as I retell my earliest memory at the tail end of The Troubles. #illustration #comics

What’s your favourite zombie film/show/comic & WHY? And yes, I’ll allow the 28 days/weeks/years later films to be included, because they’re very much in the spirit of zombie movies.
