A ★★★½ review of Marvel Zombies (2025) Would give this at least another half-star if I liked the art style.  Genuinely great use of the „what if“ premise. Cool characters that have been underused in the post-Endgame MCU, like Shang-Chi and...

I watched #MarvelZombies and liked it much more than I'd expected: boxd.it/bmxAuX

It's an original concept from a writer who's also repped by my agency and I'm doing the illustrations.

My agents are taking a children’s book pitch I worked on to the Frankfurt book fair this week. They say they’re really excited about it, I hope some publishers feel the same way! 🤞

I got my copy of the recently released Heavysaurus comic, huuuge thanks to @adrianvom.bsky.social, who created the comic, for signing and sending! I might make a video covering the comic in the near future.

LACKADAISY - Last Call
A preview of Lackadaisy Season One - the Speakeasy is in its prime as Mitzi and the band regale the crowd with an original musical number, Last Call. This seemed like the ideal way to announce that Lackadaisy is now officially a ‪Glitch‬ Production!! LACKADAISY - Last Call

Hey everyone, we have some big news to share!

Bei kaum einem Thema ist die Debatte von der Realität so abgekoppelt wie beim Bürgergeld.

Immer wieder stellen Politiker*innen fast aller Parteien in Talkshows das Bürgergeld als ein Riesenproblem dar und fantasieren wahnwitzige Einsparungen herbei.

Okay, maybe the average viewer can't tell and doesn't care. But why the fuck would SOMEONE WHO MAKES ART hand that process off to a machine? The big question here is, why don't YOU care?

9 panel comic

P1: Dayyime. We open on an exterior shot of a large modern looking conference centre. In the foreground, on a wall, the sign for the centre: "Tri-Corp Conference Centre"

In front of that, a rectangular plinth with a sign showing that a talk titled "HOW TO BE A MAN by Chad Grendel" is on

P2: a high shot of the interior of the building, in which we look down on a large conference hall, packed with people sitting in chairs. They are all sat before a stage, on which there is a lone dais, and a huge screen that displays ""HOW TO BE A MAN" in red letters against a yellow background

P3: we close in on the stage, on which a spotlight has started shining down on its centre

P4: same shot, only now someone off-panel slides a baby into the spotlight.

P5: the baby comes to a stop in the middle of the spotlight...

P6: ...and suddenly starts crying with a loud "BAWWW"

P7: A closeup look of a selection of the audience. Imagine all the stereotypes of rightwing white males, and you're probably not far off. They stare with implacable faces as the baby continues "BAWing"

P8: a closeup of the baby's face, contorted into an ugly scrunch as we reveal he has a mic attached to his right ear

P9: back to the audience, as they begin to clap politely. The crying continues as loud as ever.
