It’s a thing of beauty! Unfortunately, I haven’t got time to look at it properly now - but I’ll be all over it later. Well packaged too. The postman clearly tried to ruin it, but the packaging was just TOO good.
Mileships cover - a thing of beauty! First page of Mileships - a doodly map-thing. Random page from Mileships that had the page ribbon thing marking it. It’s a big floating ship - which was surprising (it was not surprising).

EXCITEMENT INTENSIFIES
Have just clocked the sender: Ian McQue. That means Mileships has finally arrived. Hooray!

Oh, I wonder what this is? It feels pretty heavy, but I don’t recall buying anything (not that unusual).
Large package I just found in my porch

Honourable mentions to these two as well - Old Man Logan and a zombie astronaut.
Old Man Logan Halloween outfit. Claws, mutton chops, LOTS of bullet holes and blood. Dead/zombie astronaut. White eyes, bloodied and gaunt skeletal features, illuminated by blue LEDs inside the suit. No helmet.

I haven’t done Halloween since the pandemic - but here’s a few of my favourites.

Maybe I’ll come out of retirement next year.
Walter White Halloween outfit. Yellow hazmat suit, glasses, goatee, respirator/air filter and shaved head. It was a big deal to shave my head at the time because I actually had hair. Terminator Halloween prosthetic that looks like a large portion of my face has been blown off, showing the metal skull underneath. Red LED where my eye should be. I was wearing the battery that powered it right on top of my eye - like an idiot. God only knows what I thinking… Chest burster from Alien Halloween outfit. Lots of parents tutted at the bloody gore - and at least one child refused the sweets. Result! The Corinthian Halloween prosthetic (mouths with teeth where my eyes should be). I could see surprisingly well out of the gaps between the upper and lower teeth.

The universe can be weird at times. I was going through a big box of paperwork last night - stuff I hadn’t touched for years - and found the original handprint I used for a cover. This morning, that exact cover turned up in my Facebook memories…🤷‍♂️
Inky handprint from 2015/16. I made it to use in a cover for Self Storage issue 1. Found in a box of old papers I was sorting out last night. The finished image for the cover of Self Storage issue 1. It’s a blue roller door with the number 83 sprayed on it, with a bloody handprint over the top. This image showed up in my Facebook memories this morning.

Posted the wrong one. THIS is my latest time-wasting bullshit!

Back on my time-wasting bullshit. This is what I’m doing when I should be drawing comics…

Decided to up my game. Game and fortune will surely follow.

(I’m good with just fortune, to be honest)
Superman and Batman as stick figures. I may have peaked.

Found while tidying: 26? 27? Something like that.
Old passport-sized photo. Probably around 26-27. Very short, dark brown hair. What hasn’t fallen out is shockingly white now. The very epitome of youth being wasted on the young.

Work I did for a thing. Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922) - reimagined film poster.

Reimagined film poster for "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" (1922). A blood-soaked Count Orlok is surrounded by vampire bats, the full Moon shining behind them. The bats heading right towards the viewer.

Not my best Batman, but it’ll have to do!

#batmanday
Batman, looking all stoic. Bats and lightning behind him. Some very wonky anatomy.

Going through files and found a load of old Wild River design stuff.

A bit of background to each pic in the alt-text.
Girl sitting on a London rooftop at night, with a police drone scanning her. In the background is the London skyline - including the Shard. It became a bit of a running joke that this was hacked together as a concept (before I was even working there full time), but ended up being one of the prints everyone wanted to buy at conventions. It was so popular that I was contractually obliged to put the shard in everything I drew after*. *minor exaggeration. First concepts for the robodogs in Daughters of Albion, for Wild River Comics. I based the design around a hyena and much preferred this version to what we eventually went with. I'm sure that anybody whoever made anything by committee can relate. Design and colour guide for the robodogs. I didn't hate it - I just preferred the hyena version, which seemed a bit more menacing. Initial design for the police force, which was deemed to be not iconic enough. It was based around a traditional 1960s bobby-on-the-beat with a futuristic update. I particularly liked the long coat and the Doc Martins. The powers-that-be wanted a fluorescent jacket, though - the true mark of a London police officer!

*cough*
Rubbish Dalek scribble. Dalek is yelling "procrastinate," which is ironic because it's a product of my own procrastination disguised as having a dig at somebody else for procrastinating.

Mark Quire (who has no idea my secret name for him is Quentin) has released a solo RPG over at drivethrurpg.

With art by Steven Colling, it’s a bargain at just $3. That's not even £3 in real money!

What’s that? International cat day?

Yes, I’m a day late - but every day is a cat day. Fact.
Siberian cat sitting in a red washing basket - like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

Sweary astro takes a tumble...

Four panel page showing the progression of an astronaut as he tumbles down inside a lunar cave. He swears a lot.

This is who runs this account.

He'll fuck you up. Right after he finishes those crisps.
Tiny Timsonator. Maybe four years old? Eating from a bag of crisps in the garden, having already perfected the death glare. He has enviable hair.

Faulty memory on all counts. Typical.
Scene from Animal Man, where all the out-of-continuity characters who’ve been brought back by the Psycho Pirate decide the world is so unrelentingly shit that they’d rather go back to just not existing. It’s hard to argue with them, really.

Character design for a thing I’m working on, called ‘Lunar’ - an original graphic novel I’m looking to release before the year is out.
A dark, featureless head with a negative mouth - white opening with black teeth. White text in a black balloon: “Rejoice… we bring you enlightenment...” Character design for a thing I’m working on, called ‘Lunar’ - an original graphic novel I’m looking to release before the year is out.

French pylons always look a bit cross - like they’ve had it with your bullshit.
French pylon, as seen from the Eurostar. Like all French pylons, it correctly assumes you are an arsehole and is clearly judging you for it.
