Considering I now do almost all of my work with practical materials, it’s amazing how paralysing it feels to be without a computer. Those little intermediary digital parts of the process suddenly seem a lot more critical.

More process from Young Death: Fitting In (written by @kekw-writer.bsky.social) in @2000ad.bsky.social 2465. Still in shops until tomorrow.
Really focused on the neck anatomy with Sidney. A sort of anatomical foreshadowing.

Pencils and finished coloured art for another panel of Young Death: Fitting In, written by @kekw-writer.bsky.social and out in the current issue of @2000ad.bsky.social
I'm not generally a big breaker of panel borders, but with short stories, I tend to worry less about keeping things so regimented.

Some more process work from this week's Young Death story (written by @kekw-writer.bsky.social) in @2000ad.bsky.social .
One of two or three panels in the story where I had a very specific idea of how the colour ought to look, which then dictated the palette for the rest of the page/scene.

I often don't spend as much time on the hair as I ought to, but here it seemed unavoidable.

After spending a year painting the new Trigan Empire book, this was my first chance in a long time to focus on linework and I really enjoyed leaning into it again.

Prog 2465 of @2000ad.bsky.social is out today, with a Young Death Story written by @kekw-writer.bsky.social and illustrated by me. Here's a look at page 1 of the original pencils. After spending a year painting the new Trigan Empire book, it was nice to do some line art again.

I'm back in the prog this week with a one-shot Young Death story, written by Kek-W. Got to do full art duties on this one and I think I managed to land on a colouring style that worked well. It's out this Wednesday in @2000ad.bsky.social prog no. 2465.

Centurions is a particular favourite of mine, but it’s tough to get a decent quality upload, so am holding on to get the DVDs at some point.

I feel like, 20 years ago, someone showed a bunch of advertising executives The Mighty Boosh and we’re still living with the consequences.

Thank you to everyone who came by and said hello at Thought Bubble over the weekend. Managed to get a few sketches done for folk, but actually managed to chat a bit for once. As always, thanks to @zanphee.bsky.social for the invaluable help with manning the table and fielding questions.
