There were some great weird kids telly when I was younger.... In the 90's... God I feel old now
But ok, you know how Gen Z is exploring this obsession with the haunted past? Back Rooms is part of it, but Candle Cove, the idea of how kids' TV used to be really scary. Well, that wasn't an error or an accident. That is what children liked, and I was one of them and I can explain this! I think!
My daft little metal monster-fighting comic is here!! In bootleg form! And I got art cards as well! A bigger full colour version is on its way! But, I'm still pretty satisfied with these!
Drawing drumkits for comic related things. Slowly coming together.. once I figured out what I wanted to include...
Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you've seen live Less Than Jake Weird Al Yankovic Suburban Legends GWAR Sabaton Tyr Bad Religion Random Hand Steel Panther The Urban Voodoo Machine
Introduce yourself with 10 bands/musicians you’ve seen live Howe Gelb Maria McKee Neil Young Gorillaz Wilco Pogues Supergrass Spiritualized Stiff Little Fingers John Cale
Coming later this year! A daft heavy metal, monster-slaying comic by me!! Expect more updates soon!

Making comics about metalheads and monster-slaying! Because I like that sort of thing...
More comic work for my little thing. This might either be an alternate cover or an art card or something. Not sure yet.
Good morning, posted this on insta yesterday. Making comics again. Here's some non-spoilery world-building WIP art of a prime minister being possessed by a Sauron-like Dark Lord!
Flatting comic pages for a new project this year. All about heavy metal and things! Not that you could tell from the photo...
So I just watched the Masters Of The Universe trailer and... I dunno it looks fine, I suppose? Only thing I know for certain is that Skeletor's looks is just giving me Money Supermarket flashbacks. Which probably isn't a good thing...
As someone who went to Bradford Uni, but is from Leeds, I concur. ... I might be bias, though...
I imagine this is the reaction that people have when entering Bradford
It's a new year full of fresh possibilities! Let's make some more comics!
What's worse, everyone? Christmas adverts or the new year's gym/ dieting/ general resolution ones? Somehow I think the new year's ones just edge it out. I've spent most of December mostly tired or binging either beer or food. What makes you think I'd want to do any of the self improvement right now?
Been an odd year in some respects. Did some acting on an independent feature film. Got three things in print. An art book, a comic I've been wanting to get in print for a while and some art for a book a friend of mine wrote. And got to table with some lovely people at this year's TBubz!
My best comic of 2025 is YOUR comic. The one/s you made this year. Wether you were published by the big 2, indie/self published, showed it to friend or to no one at all, YOU made something. You CREATED something. This is commendable, worth championing & makes the world a better place. You win.
Last weekend's @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social Festival was awesome! Had a great time and I was actually helping table with the lovely folks at @leedscc.bsky.social! I'm tired now, so here's my haul photo:
Had a good night at the @leedscc.bsky.social's and @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social's Pints and Pencils ... I may have drawn a terrible hilarious version of an Absolute monster from a prompt... :
LCC's second anthology got a review! And I did a thing in it! Go check it out!

Been making comics again! An actually full print copy of Loiterers! Super pleased!
Now I know Ninja Sex Party did a song about this very thing. Who knew they were so wise to the ways of romance?
Looooove so many things I’ve got to tell you.
Not doing any sort of daily prompt challenge this year. Not much time for things like that atm. Anyway, here's something bigger I'm working on between projects, or at least as warm up/ cool down stuff. Gonna colour this too.
Been drawing Splatterhouse fanart. For reasons. My amusement, that's the reason.
