Arrived way too early in Harrogate, too early to setup or check in to where I'm staying, so I've had a cheeky Nandos with very welcoming staff looking after me.

Thought Bubble is approaching rapidly! It's a return to convention tabling realistically since 2020.

So I've kinda not promoted the fact that I'll have a table at Thought Bubble this year...I'll have new comics and art prints. I've definitely got back on the comic making train this year so I'm excited for it.

Started my stint of this year's 'Gallery Takeover in Solihull's Core Library. Already had some great conversations, sold some art prints and inked a good amount of comic panels.

I look at social media most days but only sporadically post on it. There's something of a mental block that I don't know how to get past. But I miss the creative communities I used to be part of online.

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

Maybe this is a left handed thing, because I'd do 1-3-5-2-4-1
Anyone who doesn't do 1-4-2-5-3-1 is a psychopath.
Announce yourselves, cowards!

Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess…

I've blogged about it, and some recent nature illustrations.

Hey UK comics folk, I'll be walking around Thought Bubble this year, it feels like I've been out of the comic con scene for a while, so it'll be good to see some familiar faces.

I was just reading a Superman comic from 1972, and I learned a very cool Superman fact that I never knew before. Superman is at least partly responsible for the existence of the Hubble Space Telescope... 1/

Started watching Scavenger's Reign. The first scene almost put me off the whole thing for being a bland info dump, but I'm glad I stuck it out, so many creative ideas and visual design packed into that first episode. Excited for more.
