After decades around and inside comics and art, finally worked out how I want to use the two!

A fun episode (although I spent 10 minutes wondering at how much Adam the guest sounded like a bloke called Murd on another podcast I listened to some years back!)
I loved the way the epilogue comic did a callback to House of Mystery 180

Brighton Open Market. Buy my wares. I brought too many wares down the hill and I’m not looking forward to the journey home!

Just found a box of the out-of-print Marriage of Njord & Skadi comics, so if you want to read the only real Norse myth where the woman has all the agency, they’ll be on the table on Saturday

Totally get this… I coveted this issue of Brave and the Bold for decades after seeing a house ad
Recently saw enough of the insides of a copy to know I’d be let down reading it
(would still want a cheap copy so I can cut the cover off of course)

So busy enjoying @colossive.com party @goshcomics.bsky.social yesterday I forgot to give Tom and Jane the birthday card I drew on the way up (just as well given how beautiful the work on their Cartographies table was)
Lovely evening with some really nice people, new and old friends

Then a contrast of similarities brought us 2 hours on the Labours of #Hercules performed with bravura gusto by Joshua Crisp.
Superb stompy shouty #mythology with a cheeky modern twist

Just been to see this at The Lionhouse in #BrightonFringe and it's a proper triumph
Amelia weaves stories into stories into stories and spins and brings us round to where we started with laughter and a little bit of fear
Hopefully it will be on tour again, and if so you deserve 2 hours of delight

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every episode so far and this one is no exception
Something i always wondered about Cassandras is why they don’t just give up with the warnings since nobody listens
Mystery solved

Last Friday was the Awesome #Comics Pod drink n draw over Slack
It’s more chat than draw so I never plan anything serious - this time I used a branch dipped in ink to draw a big #Herakles off the cuff (eyes are wonky but the process was fun!)

Another incidental from the TWELVE project WIP
Based on a sketch I made of Hercules the Archer statue (by Antoine Bourdelle) in Musee D’Orsay when I couldn’t get a room in Angouleme so ‘had’ to stay in Paris

Bob Budiansky’s Ghost Rider covers m made me think we were getting a sequel

Drew this a while back, but it still works (for me) better than the Traffic Lights model of emotional overwhelm...

When @comiclab.bsky.social were asking if their voices sounded like the way they look, all I could think of was this
