I have 2 art beliefs but I'm not sure how to connect them
1. Art is a hard-learned skill. Artist is a serious job that should be paid well
2. Art is an inherent human activity, but professioanlizing it has made many think it's only for pros; When really everybody should make art, no matter how bad

A good opportunity to let people know that the Tom Waits needle drop in Wake Up Dead Man is one of the best in cinema this year.
Happy 76th Birthday to Tom Waits. I wrote a bit about my fave song of his, and why, a while back.

A personal highlight for me this year was seeing Barrowcrown in print for the first time! It can be a bit tricky working out how the pages and lettering will translate but I’m really happy with the results. Shoutout once again to @frissoncomics.bsky.social for their flawless production job :D

Twas a great time! And nobody died. So that’s a big plus :)
I should maybe attempt to try posting some of the pics I took during my week in Harrogate for Thought Bubble! One highlight of our extended stay was a day trip out to Leeds. I remain gutted I missed OK Comics, but I still had a nice time!

Oh hey. I guess I can share this bit of concept art I was sitting on until the medieval adaptation panel was over yesterday (thanks to everyone who came along!)
I’m currently neck deep in an old French werewolf story and my sketchbook is filling up with stuff like this.

Thought Bubble Reads: Worms, Book the Second
One of the event books of the show for me. I’ve been excited for this religious horror since the first issue last year, and this one builds on its horror with some truly nightmarish imagery. Get it from @erikapriceart.bsky.social at 2000AD Hall B9.

If you can find Tom Black prowling nomad around the con tomorrow, pounce on him and acquire a copy of this stylish, sinister Victorian horror, rendered in lush grayscale by an ensemble of gifted artist. One of this year’s great hidden gems.
