If you’re in Melbourne this Friday and dig horror films, the Friday Fright Features are making their triumphant return with last year’s criminally underrated and underseen (and very nearly lost media) SALEM’S LOT!

One night only!

Watch three good lookin' dudes talk about why comics are rad! The @oblivionbarpodcast.com episode I was on is now watchable! Had a tonne of fun doing this, and talk about Event Horizon, Alien, my love for horror and why I couldn't be happier being back in comics...

Sucks when even Darabont can't elevate a thing.

I turned 41 about ten minutes ago, but more importantly, Ripley turned 10, so to celebrate this, I have blessed your timeline!

I had the tremendous pleasure of sitting down with Chris & Aaron from the @oblivionbarpodcast.com to talk about Event Horizon, but we ended up diving a bit more into my ups and downs with the comics industry in one of the best interviews I've done. Check it out:

Ah! I see you're purveyors of fine taste and have come from based on the wisdom and generosity of god-tier artist @rj-palmer.com. Extremely humbled to be amongst his suggested lists and I am back in full force as an illustrator in 2026 thanks to @idwpublishing.com and my partner Maddy, so buckle up!

Big thanks to whoever put me on whatever list has led to this influx of new followers, and the same to all those who've deemed me worth following!

Got a "top of the bucket list" gig being announced very soon, so you've jumped on at the perfect time! You can also find at:

Something I've NEVER been confident drawing is fire and explosions. Event Horizon definitely put one of those things to the test in a pretty strong way, but I still don't feel like I'm capturing it the way I feel I should. I'd love to know who you think does the best pyro's in comics...!

Guys, I've been in and out of things and had the extreme privilege of being able to work on almost nothing but bucket-list comics but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I'm having the most fun of my career on the thing I'm currently working on. Means more to me than the Aliens or TMNT work.

When you watch a movie about Jesus and it kinda rules but you know it could've gone way harder than him eye-gauging Satan and would've been better for it...

A ★★★½ review of The Carpenter's Son (2025)
It’s close to a four star movie but constantly left me wanting more. There’s a lot of oddity about this thing; it’s a strange cast with performances that suit — completely stolen by the strength in No...

Something I do when I’m not drawing horror is program it for a cinema here in Melbourne, with special introductions, trivia, giveaways and more! Here’s the core of the year ahead, with some specials here and there still to be confirmed…

MOAR PREDECEMBERERER!

Head-canon has these dudes being the original "best worst enemies"... at least, the ones that decided to muck around with the #Alien genome. Alien vs Predator is actually Engineers vs Predator. Tell me that shit doesn't rule...

Incredibly stoked with how this last issue has turned out. I don’t know how many of you have caught the news about how this thing has been selling but I can promise you this last issue is an absolute belter and I don’t think I have been prouder of a book.
Just done the lettering pass on Event Horizon : Dark Descent #5 - @tristansbones.bsky.social has done an incredible job!
FOC is next Monday !
