I did a bunch of design work and a tiny bit of drawing for Acid Box, the new sci-fi graphic novel soon to be published by @averyhill.bsky.social and made by a dream team of creators led by @sarakenney.bsky.social. It's coming soon to Kickstarter, so follow it now to be notified when it launches!

Does anyone think there is a market for a bi-annual, 50ish page comic anthology featuring a mix of new and established talent? Sort of like what Dirty Rotten Comix was doing five or six years ago. Because I have some ideas.

Love a good graphic memoir! Saw this recommended on @joestone.bsky.social's Insta the other day so and I just had to get my copy immediately. If you enjoyed memoirs like 'Fun House', 'Calling Dr. Laura' or 'Blankets', I'd say you can safely blind buy this one.

Deleting all my Tweets from Twitter, so reposting some that I liked here for prosperity. Firstly, the coolphabet: the time I re-arranged the alphabet in order of how cool each letter is, from most cool to least cool (slightly updated from it's initial inception). XZQKYVOWSTRJUMNCBILFEDGAHP

The new WIP Comics anthology is almost ready. Still a bit of tidying up to do and some last design tweaks, but we're close. Here's a snippet from my autobiographical contribution.

Planning to enter the First Graphic Novel Prize, and I'm at the point now I completely hate my comic, my hand hurts from drawing and am wondering why I wasted my time making it at all… so I guess it's ready to submit.
