Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Here's my new cover for this year's
@2000ad.bsky.social Sci-Fi Special. When I was a kid, being bought a Summer Special comic was the highlight of a day to the seaside; so it's great to get the chance to continue that tradition.
Love it 😀
Comic page. Two Moon-buggies come to a halt near a giant hole where a communications array and a third buggy should be. The four astronauts get out of the two buggies and discuss whether two missing astronauts are in the hole and how they're going to get down there to check. Riveting stuff.
Currently on page 20. I think that's the most pages I've ever drawn for myself without getting bored and moving on to something else (most usually something paid).
There's a very real danger that I might actually *gasp* finish this one. 😱
Never call your creative endeavours “content”

A scan of a very old newspaper item. The heading is COMIC BOOK FAN. The text reads: Salt Lake City - (AP) - Mrs Henry Garn Thompson told the court her husband frequently purchased comic books by the dozen, then sat and read them all day. Judge J. Allan Crockett granted her a divorce on grounds of non-support.
Bad news, lads.
I would totally use that as a studio. Maybe put in a velux window and it’s finished. Our loft is a crawl space from Alien 3, so such ideas don’t really fly here.

Robert McGinnis has died. An absolute icon of mid-late 20th century commercial #art and #illustration.

Love this. (Pretty much my reaction to all that bobbins, too)
A big robot smoking a cigar next to his hotrod, painted with an airbrush and pencils
Petrol Head. Dunno if it’s a reaction to AI or what but I’ve been yearning to do stuff on paper recently. I’m normally very digital-reliant and I loathe inking by hand (I’m shit at it), but I like coloured pencils and my airbrush, so I did this last night. Made some mistakes but happy. Doing more.
the urge to mute every account that shares Ghibli ai images, even if they're dunking on it. idgaf I don't want it in my feed

🗣️ FREELANCE ARTISTS
I can't take on the cover project right now due to my busy schedule, so I am gathering a list of artists to send to the client.
It's an urban fantasy romance, deadline - late summer.

Most of it is…
