Thank you!! 🙏☺️🙌

Thanks so much for the repost Jamie! 🙏 Sorry it's not happening somewhere near you - I'll have to take it on tour...

Thanks so much @cartooncounty.bsky.social ! 🙏

Thanks, will do! 😀

Hiya, yes I'm Worthing based - thanks so much for the follow and repost! 🙏

Hey Jason, nice to meet you! Great to hear from another artist in the Worthing area. Yeah, I ran the comics course previously at Brighton Met and thought I'd bring it to Heene. If you know anyone who might be interested feel free to spread the word, thanks!

Last of the launch illustrations for the Kirkby Unemployment Centre project (for now). This one is about a wood-chip factory that was polluting the local area in the early 2000s (hence the dead fish) - and the protest campaign the KUC coordinated in response.

Thanks so much for the reposts! 🙏

Promo poster for a course called "Making Comics For Beginners: How to Tell Stories with Pictures & Words". Poster contains four comic panels. The images in the panels are: 1. a cityscape, 2. close up profile of a man, 3. close up of a young woman, 4. two children running with a building in the background.

People of Worthing! Got a great idea for a comic but not sure how to draw it? Or maybe you love drawing characters but are struggling to come up with a story? Then book a place on "Making Comics for Beginners", my 10 week course starting this autumn at Heene Community Centre: tinyurl.com/ycyhf2u4

Change of plans for tonight’s @cartooncounty.bsky.social - instead of the scheduled guest we’ll be hearing from the excellent and very inspiring @daniellocke.bsky.social about a brand new project with @posnegorg.bsky.social positivenegatives.org/story/youth-...
7:30pm at the Walrus, #Brighton.

Had a go at drawing Tom Baker, probably got a bit too obsessed with the eyes... #drwho #drwhofanart

First time in my 21 year career that I only have enough lettering work to keep me at my desk part-time. So if you're starting up a project and you need a letterer, please consider hiring me or recommending me to your editor/publisher! It was nice being part-time for a week, but now it's terrifying.

"In Between the Trees" is a comic about a journalist who is reporting on a cult and becomes fascinated by them. As she gets to know the group, she falls in love with one of its members, Anita. Will she decide to stay there for love?
