A zine full of wrecked ships
For #WorldBookDay this is my favourite book of the week. I met Andrew at the Zine fair, we geeked out on our favourite coal loading towers!
Cor blimey, yes very much!
I bet you have to buy the seaplane desperately to get the Britt Ekland figure
ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!
Working out my art show, Eastercon. Birmingham Hilton, 3rd to 6th April. Still waiitng to hear if I'm on the programme but hope to see you there if you're going.
Israel about commit more war crimes I see.
Pretty perfect here.
T-shirt weather.

Photograph of an empty loft space with an old doll sat in the middle.
Just checking the loft…
I wonder if posh white man visiting former colony will mention his great grandfather who was commissioner of Delhi?
Just hanging out taking selfies.
I really like these two together!
Oil painting self portraits on my studio floor!
The Ships of Innsmouth print. Ten strange ship illustrations, drawn traditionally with ink) laid out on a page. A black and white border, similar to one you'd get in an atlas or on a map, surrounds the page.
A close up of my Innsmouth print.

The image is a promotional graphic for a zine, set against a dark reddish-brown wood grain background. In the center, the front cover of a magazine titled "General Witchfinders: the ‘zine of horrific british horror" is tilted slightly to the left. The cover features a photograph of a grey, textured, felt-like monster puppet with large yellow eyes and two small teeth, posed in front of a brick wall. Text at the bottom of the cover reads "ISSUE 3 SAMHAIN 2025". A large, rounded bubble with a purple border and light purple text saying "SOLD OUT" is layered over the right side of the zine. At the bottom of the entire image, a wide purple banner with white text reads "DIGITAL VERSION AVAILABLE".

That’s absolutely phenomenal work!
Here’s a cover I illustrated for the upcoming D&D book, Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. It was such a joy to paint Strahd again 🦇

Lot of you will have no idea who Fred Dibnah is but with so many making claiming a big part of their games I would love if they watched his stuff and got a touch of the energy he had. Heck get reference of Steeplejack’s would cool as well.
#reference
posting for those who need reminding how actual cosmic horror this is, not for the assfucking fuckasses who think this is really cool
What if they're fine, but you have really weird tinnitus?
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

My map of US States, drawn from memory.
Well this is fun… I don't think I did 'too' bad for a European.
How well can you draw the US States from memory.

My effort…
Well that sounds like quite the plan. I'd love to get down to Arne at some point. Those eagles look mighty.
The Bittern boomed, but remained hidden. Still a lovely morning though.
