I think my goal for 2026 is to be a bit more active in the online Art/Comics community - which would include posting here!
Here are some samples of recent work, in the meantime:

Today was #international_mens_day, so it seems as good a time as any to remind people about one of my recent projects - a comic looking at the results of a joint study into Young Men's Mental Health, by Men Minds.
You can find the comic itself and resources at menminds.org!

I forgot to post this here yesterday, still getting used to using this.
I'm sure this has been done before, but here's my spin on it.
May the 4th be with You!

Happy New Year!
Hoping to get really stuck back into work this year, so to start off here's another pass at what's becoming a retrospective piece.
2024/5, 2013, and 2009.

Here's a collab I worked on with my brother @adambalsonart.bsky.social - layout and Piccolo by him, Goku and colours by me. Shout out to @reks.bsky.social for the Daima filter, and @gusceps.bsky.social for the ToriGus brush!
Always happy to celebrate the late great Toriyama.
