I used to write about film, then I produced movies no one watched. Now I draw things for a living.

Formerly @montimer and @paintingtinymen on Twitter.

In addition to clothing, I do traditional art. You can get prints on my website, and if you act quickly, there's time to get a handful of bespoke pieces completed in time for Christmas. Get in touch for pricing.

If you're a space nerd, I've got a range clothing on my website aimed at you. Including ludicrous 'race to the moon' shoes and trousers, and t-shirts that let you show your allegiance to either NASA or the Soviet Space Program.

Check it out here:

Have some art. A piece inspired by the amazing Skating Polly gig i went to at the 100 Club the other day.

Went for a 1980s, 2000AD art style with this. Really pleased with how its come out

I'm unlikely to keep up with #Inktober as I have a ton of work to do, but here's a doodle of one of my cats. As he's a pretty cooperative model, if I do keep doing these, you'll see more of him. #art #illustration

Happy October. I've got loads of spooky themed stuff on my website to get you ready for Halloween. Go order now so it arrives in time.

For a guide to what I'm talking about, here's the 1st page of the screenplay and very rough layout sketches of the three panels that coreespond to the page.

Apparently I can sell my art as hats. So here's a selection of halloweeen-y/spooky hat designs.

Ideal for keeping your head warm while trick or treating.

I'm particularly proud of the skull one, because it's so delightfully pirate-y

As the nights are getting longer and the days are getting colder, it's time to start thinking about spooky season. And whether you love Halloween, or you're just a fan of spooky stuff, I've got the perfect hoody for you

My client has now given this as a gift to the person it was commissioned for, so I'm finally posting it. Did this piece of a dog last week, polychromos pencils over watercolour underpainting. #art #illustration

Framed one of my prints to put up in my favourite pub. If you own a venue in the UK and want a print of my work for free in exchange for putting a small flyer next to it with a link to my website, get in touch.

Got some prints of my art though over the weekend, and I'm really pleased with how they came out. If you'd like one, you can order them from me and have it arrive within a few days.

Happy Wednesday nerds. What better way to get through the middle of your week than by buying one of my fetching Project Apollo shirts. Available as both a t-shirt or a more formal button-up shirt.

Treat yourself. You know you want to.

No one needs an excuse to get a new backpack, but just in case you were looking for one, here's a load of colourful dinosaur backpacks that I'm selling.

Particularly useful if you're starting a new job, or your kids are using a backpack to take stuff to school.

Spaaaaaaaace shoooooesss.

I designed these because there's pretty much no occasion that wouldn't be improved by wearing shoes with the Apollo Command & Service Module on the side panels.

And the moon.

And because I'm a massive nerd. And I suspect you are too.

Today is the 56th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the moon.

To celebrate that, I've taken a load of my space designs and turned them into clothing.

You can buy it all here:

What better way to stay cool in this heatwave than wearing a skater dress with a massive dinosaur on it?

Particularly if you wear it in an air conditioned cinema watching Jurassic World.

Yet more of my designs that I've turned into clothing. Really pleased with how these dinosaur shoes worked out. If you're seeing this post, you should definitely buy them. Imagine how much happier you'd be if you had dinosaurs on your feet.

Obviously you like dinosaurs, but do you like them enough to wear a t-shirt or dress with a massive velociraptor on it?

My dino designs are now on clothing. Perfect if you're going to watch Jurassic World. Or to a job interview.

Been holding off on posting this piece, as it was done as a birthday gift for @torapup.bsky.social, but as I've now given it to him, I can finally share it.

Pretty proud of this, trying to combine everything I've learned about traditional portraits with creating fantasy images.

Good news, I've finally found a printing company that isn't a complete rip off for me and customers, so I'm turning some of my designs into clothes. So if you've ever wanted a T-Shirt with a massive ice cream on it, now's the time to get one #illustration #art

Our final Daily Planet, and it's the dwarf planet Pluto, this time without its partner Charon.

I'm really pleased with this piece, and I think there's something satisfying about the way the planet works with the background colour.
