Really happy to be part of this brilliant anthology #allisnotwell on care - from all angles. Comics are great for stories like these. Mine shows how careworkers help very elderly people cope at home after hospital, including the difficult demands and responsibilities of their job. I learnt a lot!

I listened to this incredibly moving, insightful talk by cancer survivor Heat Dziczek and started #graphicrecording it... though I did re-draw this after to make it properly clear as she wanted it for her website. 😀 Check out her amazing work at cancer.cards

I've backed this and I really want it to reach goal. The art looks amazing and the whole thing is beautiful and not like anything else I've seen. Have a look!

Getting closer to finishing Two Shillings a Day. Here’s a few panels about mud. It’s 1897, before roads were paved.

Hey @mailchimphelp.bsky.social there's some kind of bug with the text+image block. The size of the image is tiny, no matter which ratio I choose. The example below is meant to be 1/3 text, 2/3 image. (I just discovered I cannot access any tech support bcs I'm on the free plan)

What TH Holding and company ate for lunch on the world’s first cycletouring trip in 1897. More about the cooking in February newsletter

When one is constrained by a manuscript - I’m not changing any words for the graphic novel - it’s a relief to find what seemed awfully rude isn’t, actually. 😅

Asking directions to Leenane and not getting accurate answer... this is in 1897. Seems that old joke has been around for awhile!

Once again, a wonderful advent calendar from the always-generous Simon! This is going to be fun
Going to post a production tip each day as an advent calendar … do shout later in the month if there’s something you always wonder about

I’ve made my own planner for over 30 years as I can’t find one that’s right! It’s POD from Lulu in case this happens to fit how you think, too.

Saw old and new friends at Thought Bubble, enjoyed a live draw, and finally got to visit the incredible Graphic Novel Reading Room and escape the overwhelm!

On my way to #thoughtbubble, not tabling, just being a punter this time. 😀 Who should I go and see?

A new one for me - a set of jigsaw puzzles for kids! Commission for an Italian school project on endangered species and climate change, connected with The Carbon Almanac.

Off to Wales next week to talk about my WIP graphic novel at the @workersgallery.bsky.social and see the great work of eleven other fab artists in the exhibition.

After only seven years, my graphic novel work-in-progress is over halfway inked and watercoloured! 79th page finished, 76 to go… by the end of this year???

Such a fun event at LICAF - two writer+artist teams each create a one-page comic, and under various constraints too. David Gaffney + Sean Phillips, Charlie Adlard + Bernard Hage. Delightfully compered by Peter Kessler.
