Pinned post - because I've realised I'm more likely to have somebody else's work at the top of my feed than my own.

I like creating stuff. Sometimes that's comics, sometimes it's illustration. Mostly digital, but busting out real-world tools a bit more now.

Currently writing and drawing comics.

Legion, from the X-Men.

Zombie astronaut bouncing around on the Moon.

9 panel comic page - an astronaut regaining consciousness in an underground cavern and making his way to his partner's location. The other astronaut seems mesmerised by a bright light.

That "six fan arts" thing that was floating around the internet a while back. I got other people to pick them for me and ended up with: The stalk (Saga), a Cadbury's Smash robot (you'll have to be an old fart to get that reference), The Spectre, Dorothy (Wizard of Oz), Zed (Zardoz) and Quint (Jaws).

Probably because I wear T-shirts these days!

What an inspiration.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Found while tidying: 26? 27? Something like that.

Old passport-sized photo. Probably around 26-27. Very short, dark brown hair. What hasn’t fallen out is shockingly white now. The very epitome of youth being wasted on the young.

Just mind farts. I know - it’s a bit of a waste, really!

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 4d

Ah, yes - it’s our old friend, procrastination…

Work I did for a thing. Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (1922) - reimagined film poster.

Reimagined film poster for "Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens" (1922). A blood-soaked Count Orlok is surrounded by vampire bats, the full Moon shining behind them. The bats heading right towards the viewer.

Exactly this.

What an absolutely mental time to be alive.

*SecWar. It’s like you’re not even trying to keep up with the batshit!

DUI hire says what?

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 8d

Is he drunk?

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 8d

We’ve had this car over three and a half years. 😐

I’ve seen a fully coloured version of this - it’s lush!

Small Terran Omega figure, surrounded by weird bio organic cables, she's exclaiming "A Lazarus Engine!!!"

I’ve done my best to drill into my kids the idea that it’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem; that they can come to us with anything and we’ll find a way through. I know it’s not always as simple as that, though.

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 10d

Right in the feels - for reasons I don’t feel like talking about today.

I often hear (from massive bores, obviously) that suicide is the easy, or coward’s way out.

Shockingly, suicide probably isn’t anyone’s first option. It’s where people turn when they think they’ve exhausted every option.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 13d

Trapped. Don’t send help.

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 13d

Use of “crossbar I” narrows it down slightly: it wasn’t a comic book letterer.

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 13d

It’ll be like Superman putting his glasses on…

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 13d

Absolutely zero self awareness on display there.

Pretty sure I was all over the lens flare, so…

I remember thinking that Bush junior wasn’t the brightest bulb in the socket - but I’m actually pining for him now. He’s like a genius in comparison.

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 16d

SO lazy!

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 16d

Why does anybody listen to this imbecile? About anything?

Matt Timson @matttimson.bsky.social · 18d

Even now, the music to ‘Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?’ fills me with a nostalgic melancholy for a time I barely even remember. I can feel it right now. I’d do almost anything to get back there - even though I absolutely know the ‘70s were unrelentingly shit on almost every level.
