Hi, I'm Ed and I make adult graphic novels. I also run weekly life drawing sessions in London and make portraits, but today the 5th printing of my 1st graphic novel arrived so let me introduce it to you properly! Horny & High vol 1 was started in 2019, after a year of doodling, dreaming and drawing.

Is it just me that keeps tapping the wrong bit of the screen lately? Trying to Like something and instead opening the post below it, etc. Feeling very clumsy and sausage-fingered.

Make a zine in 2026. Already working on mine.
"There’s a freedom people are craving because they’re feeling so constrained, surveilled and, frankly, threatened in so many other spheres."
Zines have made a resurgence as communities seek to share information on everything from ICE raids to local elections.

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.
Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers
Just in case it wasn't clear: If I click on your profile and see that you've used AI to make something, you get blocked.

It's the final East London Life Drawing of the year on Tuesday. When I started in my flat above a pub in 2015 it never occurred to me it would be going strong 10 years later. If you really want something, get stuck in and give it a go, start somewhere! typ0.bigcartel.com/product/east...

I think it's good we now have TWO leftwing parties cutting through with progressive visions. I also think it's normal for something as complex as a political party to have disagreements. Kind of an essential element of democracy. Let em cook! Support both, choose one, be politically proactive!

Art helps us to think and understand and express ourselves in new ways and any healthy society should value it.

(3) Wait and see.

Just realised I never shared my drawings from our October '24 session with Clapmutt, because I flew to LA for my artist residency at the Tom of Finland Foundation the next day.

Congratulations to Kickstarter workers for securing their 4-day week! 🙌
This, in addition to winning protections against the use of AI to replace them, means these workers have successfully future-proofed their roles.
Question is: does your role need future-proofing too? 🤔

I started watching camp gothic Hollywood horror farce Death Becomes Her yesterday (maybe my 10th viewing), it's free on YouTube "with ads". Told myself I would stop watching when the ads came on. But they never did! Sexual! Sensual! Sexy! Sex!
