Hey Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Rob, and as a jobbing freelance letterer, I am always looking for more work, as I need to keep the lights on and the Warhammer habit fed. Hit me up if you need a letterer or know someone who does! Thanks in advance for any shares/reskeets! Much love <3

A page from Immortal Coil One, issue Two launches on kickstarter very soon.

My whole comics career, my sole basis of income, some of my best ever friends and acceptance of my own fallibility

It has been a blessing. Mostly.

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

“Acid Box is a hectic adventure as club culture turns into an odyssey through space & time in order to save the world. It’s as if Doctor Who was all about the music, but it’s also all about the relationships. Enormous, heartfelt, fun!” - @PaulCornell.bsky.social (Doctor Who, The Witches of Lychford)

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.

Over the years, Ive had 4 operations on my back. Plus multiple back injuries & a damaged disc. My back has been awful the last few days. Really painful. Workstoppingly painful. BUT, what ails me the most, dear reader is this small cut on the side of my thumb. Every knock, touch or tweak is agony.

My stupid thumb, with a small, .5cm at most cut alongside the nail.

Hey! Had a couple things end up not starting this month, which is kind of not optimal for me, a person who needs to pay bills. So! If you need commissions, short comics, full comics, covers, prints, concert posters, album art, and you like what I do, maybe hire me!

Mmm. Looks like Blackwood Enterprises have either sowed some pretty dodgy seeds or are about to need some pretty strong weedkiller. Plant-centric antics from @robjoneswrites.bsky.social @rapiaghi.bsky.social @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & Co.
