I can't downplay how much rocket fuel these words from NEILL FREAKING CAMERON has injected right into my core. Grinning all over.
SCARENTHOOD by @nickroche.bsky.social - I loved this so much. Funny, warm, dark, genuinely terrifying, it’s a mix of so much fun *stuff* - ancient folklore, bad religion and the very specific cultural weirdness that is Ireland’s Own. If there were twenty volumes of this I would buy them all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh yeah, HOT ROD is in the Transformers EARTHSPARK endgame and they let me design him.

Well, I made some threats. Either way... whaddya think?!
@nickroche.bsky.social I gotta ask. The new EarthSpark finale trailer came out today, did you design Hot Rod?? Because OHHHH MY GOD, HE LOOKS AMAZING, I NEED TO SEE MORE OF HIM!!!

@danmcdaid.bsky.social Different lyrics, same tune to that chat I told you I had earlier this week...
PATTON OSWALT: These people are scared. They're being targeted. We're watching them be targeted right now. We're watching transgender people be targeted in a very aggressive way, so—

BILL MAHER: We are? Where?

OSWALT: Oh my god.

MAHER: Where are they being targeted?

Think I've shaken off the rust. Ta for the chats and great suggestions!
I've gone robo-blind. Trying to knock out some pre-drawn Transformers-related head sketches that will sell this weekend at @tfnationltd.bsky.social, and am drawing blanks.

Wanna thrown out some suggestions that I'm not legally obliged to use, and if I do, YOU'RE not legally obliged to buy?

The campaign for my latest Kickstarter is now LIVE!

This is a great opportunity to get some books and art from me before I move back to Ireland :)

Settling in after Thought Bubble, which remains a tonic, and pure comics. I was chatting to newbubber Chloe Maveal about it and she summed it up simply: "I haven't seen a Funko in three days." For a con to be as big as it is, and still be as comics as it is makes it a treasure

Jaypers, ARTOBOT sold out again. My mailers for that arrive tomorrow, so will start slinging them out ASAP. Thank you so much all, there will be more eventually, but not wholly sure when right now. Thanks everyone who bought!

Still some €30/€40 head sketches available in-store, and at TFNation!
The store is back online, with the stragglers left over from Thought Bubble! I'll be bringing any unsold stock with me to to TFNation this coming weekend, but now's your time to grab a small head sketch from my online store, and a copy of ARTOBOT!

Also, any potential buyers from China, maybe hold off and DON'T order right now! There are solid plans for distribution to be organised for China. I'll look after any of the existing orders, but if you wait a little longer, you may have a better option!

LOOK WHAT'S BACK ON THE MENU!

Somehow, my Wreckers/MTMTE Art book, ARTOBOT has returned. Limited stock currently! (Though I DO have a stash saved for @tfnationltd.bsky.social this weekend, so if you're going there, wait to grab a copy!)

Thank you 😊

Actually thought that posted earlier, but there's a black hole of signal here at TB. I'm here until 4.30, then I gotta catch a plane! So if you need some swag, come by soon...!
Alright, Day 2 of @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social! Banger first day yesterday. And thanks to @comicprintinguk.bsky.social for the restock of my artbook ARTOBOT! That's £20, Scarenthoods moving fast (!) at £10, and tons of prints. Come say hi!
November 16, 2025 at 3:55 PM
Weirdly busy Sunday here at TB! These are the head sketches still available plus the books below. Come and help me out by buying some!

And don't worry, anything that doesn't move today will be at TFN Next weekend or go on my online store! (Artobot restock imminent!)

Today I learned that people don't want drawing of 90s Wrestlers, what they really REALLY want is drawings of Macho Man Randy Savage.

I'm on my way to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, the most restorative and invigorating comics event there is! I'll be in the 2000ad Hall, at table B-52, so roam (if you want to) over for a chat at any stage!

Allow me to harangue you now with a thread about what I'm bringing along with me...!

Storm Claudia has nobbled our flights, so won't get to the convention centre till tomorrow. Plus, I've had to buy new flights last minute.

SO PLEASE COME AND BUY SUMMAT THIS WEEKEND :/
