I wish I'd taken more photos but it was amazing to see my dragon artwork around a VERY busy town centre.

Huge congrats to the teams at Barrow Does Comics, @comicartfestival.bsky.social & Barrow Bid.

Barrow Does Comics was incredible!

Thanks to everyone who helped make the event special. For checking out my books, coming to the Heartstopper panel, asking questions, drawing dragons, hanging out at the live draw and generally showing a love for reading and comics.

The internet tells me its #PortfolioDay!

Hi I’m Lyndon, illustrator, writer & comic books artist. I make books with monsters & magic. Currently working on my next fantasy graphic novel, Embers.

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

A comic page, with 5 panels. 4 panels are arranged in a stack down the left side, the fifth is a splash panel. Banner at top of page: Saturday. Wedding in T-00h59m PANEL 1: A close-in profile shot of a handsome, red-headed guy; he has a black eye and a thin trickle of blood running from his nose. He’s looking up, and mildly grinning. GUY: I hate to be a bother, I do, but there’s an itch on my nose. GUY: Hardly the end of the world, but would you mind? PANEL 2: A close shot behind the guy; we can see his hands, handcuffed behind the steel folding chair he’s sat on. GUY: I’d do something about it myself, but my hands appear to be caught on something. INTERROGATOR (OFF-PANEL): Is playing games something you really want to be doing right now? PANEL 3: The guy is cheekily flirting with the interrogator, who’s walking behind him. GUY: You’re the one who put me in handcuffs… INTERROGATOR: Come on, man… PANEL 4: The guy is rolling his eyes. GUY: Fine. What do you want to know? SPLASH PANEL: Looking over the interrogator’s shoulder, as the guy is looking up at him, with a cheeky grin. INTERROGATOR: What exactly have you been doing here? And why the fuck are you doing it? GUY: Oh, you actually want my story? Colour me surprised.

A comic page of 8 panels. PANEL 1: a photograph of a group of people disembarking a fancy boat onto a jetty. GUY (CAPTION): I was contracted to work this wedding, which let me tell you is stressful at short notice. INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Contracted? INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Who the hell contracted you? INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): What is it you even do?! PANEL 2: A cut-out panel of the guy one arm draped over the back of his chair, the other hand gesturing. He’s grinning charmingly. GUY: I’m the Worst Man. INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): …the what? INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): And how did you get free? PANEL 3: The guy is flashing a grin and showing his hands in a shrug. GUY: Oh, come on, I talk with my hands. PANEL 4: The guy is holding his hand in a “so-so” gesture. GUY: Ok, so. GUY: Sometimes there’s a couple that are settling, right? PANEL 5: The guy is pulling a “yikes” expression. GUY: They’ve convinced they’re happy, they’re forever happy. PANEL 6: The guy is looking serious. GUY: A friend or family member knows they aren’t, but doesn’t want the social fallout of pointing it out. PANEL 7: The guy is lazily gesturing to himself. GUY: So they hire me to reveal the truth in a more subtle way, before they get married. PANEL 8: The guy is looking up. INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): So why are you involved here? GUY: In this case, the story goes back a while.

A comic page with 4 panels. PANEL 1: A sprawled dossier showing research on a couple; a cis woman and a trans woman. GUY (CAPTION): Several years ago I was contracted to work on Galatea Telford and Merritt McElligott— INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): That’s the bride’s sister, not the bride. GUY (CAPTION): Uh, yeah. What’s your point? INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): So she’s not who I’m asking about. GUY (CAPTION): Patience. This is background. PANEL 2: A shot of the guy talking to Merritt and Galatea around a school teacher’s desk, planning some sort of schedule. GUY (CAPTION): So I got a temp job at the school where Merritt and Galatea work. PANEL 3: A shot of the three of them in a bar, with some other people. All of them are laughing except the guy, who’s a little more detached. GUY (CAPTION): Even met some of their friends. PANEL 4: A shot of Merritt and Galatea back at the teacher’s desk, flirting. The guy is looking in through the door, a small, sad smile. GUY (CAPTION): But what I was coming to learn was— INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Enough. I’m dying of old age here.
