This interaction sums up the heart of The Man From Maybe.

Really loved working with Shaky Kane on this, would be fun to do more in the future.

Ah OK, that's still a lot but I imagined a completed 150+ page OGN of your work just sitting there.

It's hard work out there currently.

Not sure what my top 5 Bowie albums would be but pretty sure this would be in there. Love the Pixies cover on here as well.

Jordan Thomas @jordanthomas.bsky.social · 4d

Cor we’ve hit 180 subscribers over at my Patreon! Pretty cool. That means since starting I’ve added 109 people!

PJ Holden @pauljholden.com · 29d

First two weeks of my new weekly Patreon comic is up and are free to read (the black and white and green version will be free, but parallel to that I’m doing a full colour version for patrons) come follow along at Patreon.com/pauljholden

Page 1
Terran omega

Four panels, all black. Deep space. Our camera doesn't vary, we are looking at a tumbling space ship, a salvage ship.

Panel 1. Behind the ship, In the background is a small thing that looks like a google map pin.
Caption: ++REPEAT ++ SALVAGE SHIP RESPOND ++
Panel 2 the ship continues to tumble. The pin is much larger now, about the same mass (if not shape) of the tumbling ship
Caption ++SALVAGE SHIP THIS IS BLACK OMEGA ++ PLEASE RESPOND ++
Panel 2
The ship continues to tumble the Black Omega, is now very largely, cropped by the panel, still behind the tumbling ship and obviously larger than it.
Caption: Nothing
Caption: No response. Ship appears to be dead.
Panel 4
The tumbling ship remains, surrounded it now is the centre of the Black Omega, the ship so large it now dwarfs the little scrapyard junker.
Caption: But... I am detecting three lifeforms.
Caption: I can send a drone...?

Page 2-3

Double page spread. Left hand side a large full page panel. Terran omega floating in space. An armoured heroic looking character carrying a staff of pure light and wearing a helmet that’s a cross between dr fate and galactus. Floating behind here (and where’s she’s flying towards) is a large chunky salvage ship (which is big and blocky and has two very obvious hands for gripping salvage)
Terran Omega : "No, I think I'd like to do this myself"

Second page has a column of panels.
First: Terran omega flying towards a door (she flies gently while standing)

Second; her hand reaches towards the door and is cracking with energy

Third: her helmet and staff now inside the airlock of the ship
Terran: I'm inside
Terran: ...
Radio: *static*
Terran: Hmmm... on my own.
Terran: Ok

Fourth: she’s walking carefully down a corridor filled with smoke
Terran: Now. Let's look around.

Yes! Removing guns from *checks notes* old movie posters, that's what will solve these problems

Jordan Thomas @jordanthomas.bsky.social · 5d

Those are nice colours

Jordan Thomas @jordanthomas.bsky.social · 6d

A handful of panels from Skin Police 2 #2 that I especially like. @danielgete.bsky.social brings this world to life in a way that continues to astound me and I think @wordie.bsky.social is the perfect partner for Daniel's work.

This issue is in stores now published by @oni-press.bsky.social

A couple of beautiful pages by @danielgete.bsky.social with colours by @wordie.bsky.social & letters by Jeff Powell from Skin Police 2 #2 out now!

The issue opens with a 4 page silent story, which I think came out great.
