I've been coveting the massive Shade the Changing Man Omnibuses for a while… but I have an (almost) full set of the original comics in the loft so I've held off as it seemed like a waste of money. But I tell you what, it's fucking hot up in that loft at the moment…

Haven’t typed these words for a while. Feels good!

Presumably the buyer will have to fill in the documents with a tiny pencil and then wait half an hour at a counter for it to turn up.

Happy publication day to The Diary of Spider-Man! I‘m so proud of this exciting book and I hope that spider-fans will dig it! #spiderman

We’re just running some checks and… yes, yes I do think that was the best Spider-Man film I’ve ever seen. Had an absolute ball.

I've really been enjoying revisiting Mark Gatiss' 'The Man in Black' episodes on the BBC. Surely the time is ripe for a revival of the series! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

I've got it on good authority that after eliminating physical discs and buttons for the PS6, the PS7 will just be you buying a license to imagine playing the game

Well I've got an exercise book full of awful poetry from when I was a kid if any film studios are interested in making a movie about how hard it is to be a teenager when no one understands you.

Jesse Hawken@jessehawken.bsky.social · last wk.

Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

Games and movies show that media is becoming a landscape of digital licensing in which we own nothing. However, books have persisted because it's a different and better quality experience. If you love games and movies and want something to hold, artbooks aren't going anywhere!

Around 25% left to raise and a week left to do it. If you enjoyed these two you're in for a great comics time. Any shares or support greatly appreciated. #comics #comicbooks #sciencefiction #sciencefictionart #scifi #scifiart #sciencefictionwriter #blackandwhiteart #crowdfunding

It’s been a while since I last drew with my trusty Rotring Artpen so thought I’d buy a new one - and they’ve been discontinued! What the—?! What do self-respecting comic artists use now?!

I used to get excited about new books, comics and video games. Just picked this bad boy up in Wickes and I feel ALIVE!

Searching Shutterstock for some birthday party invite elements and found this horror. The fact that Shutterstock is moving so heavily into AI is worrying and annoying but frankly if they keep churning out shit like this it shouldn't be a problem.

Masters of the Universe feels like it’s Musk’s ‘historically accurate’ version of The Odyssey.

I designed this bad boy, working with the fantastic author @princey5000.bsky.social. If you like robots that turn into stuff then you’re gonna love it.

The Transformers: The Movie is getting a 4K rerelease! It's the perfect time to remind everyone that an artbook is coming too, The Transformers: The Movie: The Ultimate Visual History. The 282-page hardcover arrives October 27th. Pre-order - amzn.to/3TABNoo #ad

Kind of mad that the new He-Man movie is already free to watch on Amazon Prime. I know it didn’t do well at the flicks but what motivation will there be to support movies in cinemas if all the failed ones turn up on streaming almost instantly.

The industry that works with and values the raw data that was stolen wholesale to build the Brave New Bullshit Machine doesn’t seem to trust the burglars. Strange.

perfect dead drop 10/10 no notes (the shrouds really make this)

Saw The Odyssey last night. Absolutely epic! You can’t fault Nolan’s ambition - just the sheer scale and imagination of the production is breathtaking. Cast is great, and a special mention to the sound department because my god there were noises in there I’ve never heard before. Bravo!

“If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them.”

Water firms in England and Wales ‘leak five times what hosepipe ban would save’

Currently reading The Genius Myth by @helenlewis.bsky.social and it’s brilliant. As well as unpacking the concept of ‘genius’ it traces the idea across history and it’s startling how troublesome, self-styled ‘mavericks’ like Musk are simply echoes of those that have gone before. Required reading.

I… do not know what to make of this. Could be the best film ever made? Or it could equally be the worst. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORT...

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

I’m no conspiracy theorist but crikey I find this story fascinating: www.theguardian.com/p/x5eq3t?CMP...

The missing scientists at the centre of a UFO conspiracy

Are the disappearances or deaths of eleven US scientists really linked in a nefarious plot? Or just a conspiracy theory with roots in a bizarre broadcast that rocked Britain in the 1970s?
