Your presence and wit is one of the things that keeps us coming back man, that's an undisputed fact there.

Plus I mean outside of Jake who else am I going to share my bad movie shenanigans with as well?!

"Lunch break"

I usually like to do a little series of pieces across the month to celebrate Halloween, but sadly due to a number of factors I'm unable to do so this year.

So instead please enjoy this art of The Clerk and her staff enjoying a much deserved break!

It's how I found out about Glasgow Drink n Draw, which in turn led me to meeting some of the most wonderful and creative people I have the pleasure of knowing, and nothing can take that away.

I was looking at listings on the GFT website to see if they were doing anything interesting for Halloween this year and I cam across this.

Did...did they make this lineup for me specifically. Like it's absolutely stacked with some of my all time favourites!

I’m going travelling late august! I’ll be posting daily once I leave.
Wish me luck!
#autobiocomic #comicdiary

In June I handed in my notice.
“I’m leaving in July”
“Oh…”
“It was a long time coming. My job didn’t suck but it didn’t spark joy. I was starting to get RSD and I didn’t trust that they would try to help.”
(Visual of sewing)
“But I’ll miss my colleagues.”
(A colleague asks) “I heard you’re leaving. What made you decide?”
I respond “death by a thousand cuts” while holding a jumper on my hands.
“What made me decide?”
I ask “hey could you get someone to remove the mould?” (Mouldy walls in the background)
And off screen colleague says “we removed it!”
I look behind me and it’s still there. “Um…”
“There are only so many times I can complain about legitimate health concerns only to be lied to.

Visual of me sitting leaning on a hand looking out of a window with trees in the background.
“I’ve been itching for a while… to go. It’s funny how you get stuck places. I meant to leave after a couple of years and now it’s been six.”
I scratch my face sweating a little. “ it it’s time for a new chapter. And I’m starting to feel like dwelling on my problematic job is akin to picking any other mental scab.
So what will I Julie the textile designer come comic artist do now?”
“Well I have this friend in Rome I’ve meant to visit for years… so my plan…”

I am floating above a map with dots, a bike and a finish line. “Is to cycle from Frankfurt to Rome!”
I’m sitting at a table wheeling a tiny bike.
“This is not my first bike-packing stint. I cycled around the Baltic Sea after university.”
I point at a map showing my route. Glasgow to Harwich, hook of Holland to Stockholm to Estonia then back to Dunkirk.

I stand in front of the map with a stick pointing towards Italy. “And I’m really interested in seeing what’s going on in this gap of countries I’ve never visited.”
“So the plan is to leave in late august and get to Rome by early October.”
I sit surrounded by loose comic pages. “I’m going to try to keep a comic diary as I travel so keep an eye out to read my adventure as they happen!

I spent half an hour filling in this consultation, then on the last page pressed the back button to go add something else in and instead it deleted my whole form and made me start over. So while I go punch a wall for a bit, you should all go fill it in.

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

Another year, another spooky display picture for the spooky month! I nearly forgot to draw one this year due to all sorts of stuff going on, but I managed nonetheless!

I hope you all like it and have a nice and spooky October 😁👍.

A floating head sits against a simple purple background, a white oputline around it. The head consists of a monstrous beanie hat that sits around the top of the head, ooze leaking from it's mouth over the person it's attached itself to.

The person themself has pale skin and a big black beard, their mouth opened in a way that suggests the monster is maybe controlling it or eating his brain.

Real human artists, share the last 4 pieces of art that you made! ✨

Two beautiful young woman stand in what looks like the bathroom of a gothic club. The walls are red with a lattice pattern over them, with black accents to the doors and mirror frames. The floor is also black tile as are the sinks.

On the left we see a beautiful woman with short black hair, green eyes and black lips holding up a black phone to take a selfie with. She wears a black choker, as well as a black jacket, a black top with sheer parts, black trousers and black high heel shoes with a red sole. She also wears a gothic belt and harneses on her legs. On her cheek we can see the faint outline of pink lipstick suggesting she's been kissed there recently.

On the right we see the exact opposite of the woman on the left. With long flowing strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, this young woman looks completely out of place here. She wears a sparkly short pink party dress, as well as a nice pink handbag and tall sparkly boots with a red sole. She wears a little heart shaped harness on her leg as well as gold jewellery on her wrists and neck. On her cheeck we see the faint outline of black lipstick, suggesting she's been kissed recently as well.

An arrogant looking young woman sits on an antique looking throne. Behind her is a set of dark red velvet curtains and windowed doors, the doors looking out over the city of Los Angeles, which is set against a starry sky. A grey rug sits underneath the throne, which is made of dark wood and black leather cushions.

The woman herself has dark skin and black hair that sit in a bob. She has brown eyes and brown lips which sit in a devious smile. On her wrists she has a number of gold bangles, one of which is inset with rubies and on her hands she has long black finger nails.

She also wears a white turtle neck with a gold chain around her neck. On her legs she wears ankara trousers with an incredible African pattern on them and white high heel snake skin boots.

In the top left hand corner, there is a number of words. They read "Lights and Sound; The Movie Magazine" as well as "Issa Mbaye; In Conversation with the woman taking over Hollywood"

#vampireenjoyers #vampirethemasquerade #vtm #worldofdarkness #wod

A confident black woman stands in front of a simple blue background made to look like brick. The crossed sword and scepter of Clan Ventrue sits behind them, as does the words "Issa" and "Clan Ventrue".

The woman herself is dressed in a oversized leopard print coat, as well as a brown turtle neck jumper, a leather skirt and tall leather boots. She also wears a pair of stylish sunglasses on her face.

Her hair sit in a fashionable bob and she stands with a confident if intimidating air.

#Vampire #Vampires

A landscape drawing of a fantasy setting. In the art piece we see a plain of grass stretching out towards the horizon, a number of strange obelisks dotting the landscape as well as normal rocks. In the distance, we see a number of large crystal spires, each of them surrounded by a black rock structure. We also see a number of travellers on the path to the closest structure, as well as a pool of water lying on the planes. A number of birds fly around the crystals

In the sky we see a bright blue sky with a number of clouds hovering about the horizon, streaks of white suggesting something or someone has flown by recently. The most defining feature of the landscape though is the giant, saturn like ring that can be seen in the sky, it's giant form drawing the eye given it's size.

"The Ghoul Assistants"

Introducing Maxine and Beverly, two NPCs from the Vampire game I'm currently running. They may work for rival vampires but truth be told the two are actually quite close.

I had a lot of fun drawing these two and I hope you like this piece 😁.
