Sad that I never managed to get to Sonic con (maybe one day!) but it feels like a bit of it came to me instead! Gorgeous art and stickers, thank you @abbybulmer.bsky.social!

An incredible art bundle in the post today from @jimstafford.bsky.social. Can’t get over how good they all look especially in-hand, thanks again!

Gorgeous renditions of classic Halloween monsters “The Boy With The Laserbeak Eyes” and “Mr. Pipes” by (and with many thanks as always to) @nickroche.bsky.social

Took a bit of looking to find it around here (Tesco and WH Smith you failed me) but grabbed the first issue. Feels great having a new Turtles comic in the shops and made by amazing folks! @edpirrie.bsky.social @wordmonger.bsky.social @katcardy.bsky.social

Of all his (many) incredible performances the Robert Redford moment that sticks with me the most is in the Pete's Dragon remake. He's telling his daughter about how the experience of seeing a dragon when he was younger affected his worldview. Gets me emotional every time, pure acting magic.

I'm definitely looking forward to a robust backstory to fully explore the emotional depths of Wonderful Warrior! What's going on behind those eyes?

With the addition of Grimlock from TFN I’ve now completed my set of Dinobots by @nickroche.bsky.social and coloured by @wordmonger.bsky.social. Eternally grateful to both these guys for letting me haunt them with these requests each year since 2022 with not even one cease and desist letter!

Finally a sketch of my boy Shockers that @rbillustrations.bsky.social did AT the event (which always amazes me!). Looking extra menacing and like a proper unit here, and great view of his awesome gun hose thing, love it!

A bonus two pieces I actually got from @nickroche.bsky.social way back in 2019 (which somehow feels both like 5 mins and like 10 years ago...) and finally got amazingly coloured by @wordmonger.bsky.social. A more 'traditional' Shockwave and Jazz checking out some tunes on a classic iPod!

I had the cheek to lob the daftest idea at @nickroche.bsky.social - that Shockwave killed the dinobots and engineered their parts to his body to use their power. Without batting an eye he caught it and weaved it into jaw-dropping magic. Then @wordmonger.bsky.social absolutely crushed the colours!

I've gradually asked @nickroche.bsky.social for each of the 'Maximum' Dinobots and this year completed the set with Grimlock rocking a Lion-O style pose, summoning power and/or his team with this sword. Unbelievable colours by @wordmonger.bsky.social!

Last year @edpirrie.bsky.social did an unbelievable rendition of Snapdragon in the style of Godzilla for me, and at the time floated the idea of Apeface in a similar style for King Kong - so this year I asked him for just that and he went above and beyond with it! Colours by @wordmonger.bsky.social

Not a commission but an original art piece I also picked up from @jimstafford.bsky.social of this incredible Hot Rod piece I've been eyeing up for a while and finally went for. Bonus pic just for fun of me at (I think) around age 4 with my OG Hot Rod toy.

Two amazing pieces from @jimstafford.bsky.social - confident sharpshooter G1 Scoop (wielding Tracer and Holepunch of course) - love his colours! - and that little rascal chibi-Snapdragon who's so good he's now my profile pic.

Another addition to my Snapdragon collection with this beautiful beast mode Snappers thanks to @leighlicorish.com. Love the sense of size and power from him here, it looks like he's about to jump to attack someone or something in some epic kaiju-style battle!

I picked up this picture of Snapdragon below at TFN, but I wanted to also show off the Lockdown piece I got previously which inspired it - both by @jarofloosescrews.bsky.social. The Lockdown is SO gorgeous it made me want my boy Snappy in a similar vein and he couldn't have come out better!

Just want to share and gush about the commissions I picked up at TFN.
First, G1 Pincher collaborating with Geordi La Forge on some mad science project, thanks to @jlawrenceart.bsky.social. He did an amazing job (as always) of showing two of my fave lads loving working together!
