A wooden electric pole, lit up by a thin light, in a field of darkness. A night sky, swept nearly clean by last night’s storm, stretches overhead.

Leaving the footpath and crossing a ploughed field - I turn off my torch, and it’s solid darkness for a 10 minute trudge, like crossing the Atlantic by canoe.

The half way marker of an electricity pole, torch briefly on to shine upwards. Orion, endlessly hunting, always hungry, hangs overhead

So basically a form of anthology work that broke out of its banks and became non-compartmentalized?

A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.

a three panel comic about Søren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"

It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe Prophétique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!

Sir Bors the Younger, he should have way more fame! He, Galahad and Perceval went on the Grail Quest; the other two died, only Bors returned. He ruled Camelot after Arthur's death!

Dude don't get enough respect.

A black and white gouache portrait study painted on a white background with two thin black stripes behind the head at ear level
The portrait is of a man in a newsboy style cap with large oval rimmed glassed and a fantastically dramatic handlebar mustache and a little bit of an under the lip goatee. The hair under his cap is short and trimmed. He wears a loosely knotted black neck tie with a dark gray and black paisley vest and just the hint of a white collared shirt underneath.

Four older gouache portrait paintings from back in my Watts Atelier Online student days, the first three of which were done using photo reference from their class workbooks for Gouache Phase One.

Speaking of my "put a little funny face on it" philosophy of design, here's some smithing props. (Yes, the anvil is in the game.)

I wasn't kidding about Funny Little Face.
(actual smiths, pls don't come for me. I had half an afternoon to look up how this stuff works, roughly.)

Disco Elysium fanart depicting a night scene next to the Dolorian Church of Humanity, the church's windows and door are shining, on the right side, the 2 main characters of the game are on a boat going to the horizon on a sea reflecting the brightly colored sky, lights are shining of rainbow colors, almost like northern lights.

A fanart tribute to the fantastic game that is Disco Elysium ✨

It's this looser approach, a really nice contrast to my much tighter inking.

a pine cone with crab legs = a pinecrab

I made this in a couple of hours and posted it a few days after another piece which I spent a full month on. While the latter got a pretty mute response and sold few prints, this little critter ended up being one of my most viral pieces. It's was a good lesson in learning to have no expectations

I mean, his entire origin story is regretting a past decision that won't let him sleep at night. He's powered by cringe.
