The real tea is that forcing myself to use chonky charcoal refreshed my passion for drawing in ballpoint with hatching. From last night's East London Life Drawing: www.instagram.com/reel/DUDj3PF...

I read a lot of Shaun Hutson, regrettably... And I borrowed Alan Dean Foster's Alien novelisations from my high school library along with Stephen King's IT! But what's this... No Bruno Anthony's novel of Se7en?? Were you burgled?

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Frankly, all football should be boycotted. If crowds of queer comics makers *sometimes* smashed up the streets pissing as they went, *occasionally* bellowed racist chants, & committed domestic violence after their limited-edition hairy bum riso won 2nd, long-arm staplers would be permanently banned.

"One Friend Said to Me I’d Written a Daily Mail-Reading Homophobe’s Nightmare" - Ed Firth on Exploring the World of Chemsex in His Acclaimed Queer Comics Series 'Horny & High' – Broken Frontier Interview with comics creator Ed Firth about 'Horny & High', his uncompromising exploration of the darker side of gay sex culture.

I always have an eye for the very best pull quotes for my @brokenfrontier.bsky.social interviews. As with this one with @edfirth.bsky.social a few years back.

Our model wasn't feeling 100% last night (but insisted the show must go on) and I managed to capture his woozy, wild eyed expression with a biro in the final pose. www.instagram.com/reel/DTxiumR...

4. Give yourself permission to take your writing seriously. Don’t wait until you’re β€œbetter at it,” or until you’re published, or until you β€œfeel like a real writer.” Do it now. Then keep on doing it. It’s allowed.

OMG I wanted some examples of hands once. I typed in "hands" in google images. What I did NOT type was "left in plaster of paris which heats up to extreme temperatures as it sets".

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Publishers are always going to preemptively comply, but it's never been easier in human history to self-publish, promote globally, and of course, distribute digitally. Don't seek approval from a corporation that is happy to profit from, but not protect you! Find out how easy it is to do it yourself.

Vol 3 of my graphic novel series will have more queer and trans people than ever, in a variety of explicit sexual adventures where you can SEE IT GOING IN and practically *smell the balls.* And it will be on sale in the US, just not at places where mayonnaise is considered a hot sauce.

I left university in 2019 with Β£49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to Β£48,600 - just Β£1,000 less.
