I seem to be gathering followers at a nice pace - & not all from my industry either, which is nice. Anyway, I figured I’d introduce myself after a year & a half on this platform :) My name is Dave & I make comics with The God of Horror, John Carpenter. I also draw the odd poster, eat food & sleep.

You know what’s made this app easier to migrate over to from the other one? I put the icon for this one where the Twitter icon was on my phone. I’ve hardly touched Twitter since. GOD, I’m so simple.

Been struggling with opening files in Photoshop all day. Turns out, Adobe went ahead and changed my preferences for auto-updating and downloaded the newest version, which slowed my old MacBook to a crawl. Cheers Adobe. Yet another reason I’ll be bailing the second Procreate goes desktop.

Blimey. Totally forgot I’d drawn this. Just stumbled across it after a mild rummage in the infinite archives. I wonder what other things await me in my digital past? /finds six folders full of monkeys wearing clothes

When working away from the large Cintiq at home, I dig out the 13” version, which is fantastic for setting up in a little corner somewhere. It also reminds me that I need to make that optician appointment, cos this whole thing is a goddamn blur. Stupid detailed panels. #makingcomics

The character vs how you drew the character. Feels like every artist has had a pop at drawing #joker. Took me 3 years to find a pose I hadn’t already seen. This is the amalgamated Joker in my head - part Cesar Romero, part Nicholson, part Miller & a bunch of other influences.

The character vs how you drew the character I don’t usually do this but 23 years ago I did Scorpius from the incredible show “Farscape” #farscape

Thought Bubble is an invaluable investment in positive mental health. 3 days in the company of people who also make art is like that bit in Avengers when Thor hits Iron Man with lightning and he gets a 400% charge. I’ll be there again next year. If I can beat those restraining orders, that is.

Guess I should be making a little more effort over in this neck of the internet woods. Think it’s been more than a year since my last post. In my defence, a year goes REALLY fast at my age. Anyway, here’s a scribble I did for a friend of mine.
