This is pg29 of Chapter 1 of my next manga ‘Sunset Protocol’ (same universe as ‘The Dreaming’.)

After fiddling with the art a bit, but his more gritty/mature art style may be the one best suited to this story.

I’m currently writing the last chapter of this (2-vol, 12 chapters).

A couple years ago I drew this mash up of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. It was a lot of fun coming up with all the designs and making them fit.

Some housekeeping! I will be removing my Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter PDFs from my Gumroad at the end of the year as I'm planning a crowdfunding campaign for a new print collection. If you've bought a copy you'll still be able to access the files via your library.

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

This is genuinely the best podcast I’ve listened to this year! @trufelman.bsky.social has done such a fascinating, immaculately researched deep dive - it is absolutely worth the listen. Every single episode had a reveal moment that made me gasp, laugh or immediately text my friends in recognition. 💕

I’ve been going to the gym, but not complaining about it. But then I haven’t done Mr Village People’s class in two weeks, which isn’t great as my body then becomes unaccustomed to my normal weights.
