A real piece of work in progress. Comics and music and wrestling and soccer and nature and, look, probably family stuff. Almost Toronto. (he, him)

Elle’s comics are great; super-excited for this.
Some character sheets for my upcoming webcomic ANNIVERSARY, whose first chapter will arrive sometime in January (🤞) on a neocities site near you. It’s a semi dark fantasy, kinda-medieval queer erotica. Been working on it for 3 years! Hope you can look forward to it :-)

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

My curatorial debut! Building Value(s) was staged at @azuremagazine.bsky.social's Human/Nature conference in late October. A meditation on demolition, preservation and the value of our buildings — whether expressed in carbon and collective memory.
Building Value(s): Inside AZURE's Human/Nature Exhibition
Focusing on questions of value in the building environment, four thought-provoking exhibitions animated the Evergreen Brick Works.

Damn... Angoulême is continuing to turn into a complete (largely self-inflicted) disaster. We usually go every year, but decided to boycott this year. Was second-guessing that call earler, but not now. (via @comicsbeat.bsky.social )

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

Some more photos of my favourite Heron catching fish that I never got around to editing. These are taken with a different lens & camera than earlier images today. A shorter, faster lens can help to maximise the available light and allows a faster shutter speed for action. #birds

Spent a fortune at @thebeguiling.bsky.social & regret nothing. Can’t wait to dive into comics from cartoonist geniuses one & all: Oima, Urushibara, @davidlapham.bsky.social, @gustaffovargas.bsky.social + Walsh, Otero & Malkasian. (Today was why I couldn’t make a Favourite Books of 2025 list yet.) 📚

God damn this sucks. Gilson was the quiet backbone of Squeeze for so long before leaving for good in the early 90s after "Play". Then becomes the backbone of Jools Holland's band. Truly one of the great drummers.
