Probably a clerical error.

The Dunnos, my new comic, starts in the Phoenix today!
It’s a pointless attempt to capitalise on the fact that I’m utterly incapable to provide answers to the simplest of questions.

I can certify this book is substantially better than whatever James might be claiming.
My newest book 'Toby and the Pixies: Pixie Pandemonium' is out NOW! I'd normally link to where you can buy it in the Phoenix shop but it has already SOLD OUT, so here's a link to Blackwells instead: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Join me for some Saturday morning doodle ridiculousness on the 12th of July! I can almost certainly guarantee some hilarity and maybe a dash of weirdness too! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/squid-bits...

It was lovely to see you again.
Keep drawing your amazing stuff!!
Brill inspiring afternoon @PaperCatBooks for @tibolota.bsky.social Myths event workshop… always lovely chatting to Thiago and showing him some of my illustrations… thank you for always being so supportive of my ideas and illustrations 😊 🙏🏼✍🏼📚

Thanks Jill! I hope it wasn’t too disturbing…

Thanks Jacqui! I’m so glad you enjoyed Mighty Myths.
May 22, 2025 at 5:41 PM
Thanks Simon, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
“Mighty Myths and How to Survive Them” by @tibolota.bsky.social is a wild, irreverent romp through mythology. It brilliantly illustrated, properly funny yet full of details, facts and stories. It’s a perfect book to browse and explore. As a kid it would have been read again and again. Fab stuff!
May 9, 2025 at 10:16 AM
New book out today! Mighty Myths is a guide on surviving all the dangerous stuff from myth and legend. If you’re worried about being eaten by trolls or licked by giant one-eyed umbrellas, help is at hand.

Libraries are so important for ALL children to have access to. Yet Lambeth council are about to cut £1M from the budgets of the libraries in their borough.
We need your help to STOP this.

I wrote an open letter to the council to try and get them to see the error of their decision.
Please repost.
