My colouring on an idea from the twisted court of Judge Turnbull

6 panel comic vignette of a classical heroin faving off against a giant serpent, cutting its head off, dipping the tip of her arrow in its venom and loading her bow against an even larger looming shadow.
A little sequence I forgot about, which I quite like.
From the thalidomide comic @rikworth.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social & I made with @itraineu.bsky.social - frommoleculetodrug.com/thalidomide-...
"Smegatron" an interpretation of the ship "Red Dwarf" (of the BBC show of the same name) as a transformer. The Red Dwarf is a squat red heaxagonal ship that forms a point at one end and a large, funnel-like engine at the other. The pointed end had a series prongs extending from each side of the hexagon that extend to almost double the length of the ship. A large asteroid is lodged into the side of the ship. Smegatron himself is a large, bulky, red robot with yellow eyes, the asteroid lodged in his lower abdomen, the prongs now placed on his back. Smegatron is accompanied by the headmaster "Smeghead," a smaller robot who transforms into the head of Smegatron.
I was formatting one of the articles in the "War Stories" TF zine I'm working on and Red Dwarf was mentioned then before I knew it...this happened.

Found out that Sam Kieth has died. I utterly adored his bizarre style, this Wolverine v Cyber issue came to me in a random bag of comics and it was mindblowing. It didn't look like anything else at all and I loved that.

I'm glad I read this from my dear friend Owen. I expect most people will recognise much of this, in yourself or your friends and loved ones.
A bit of an intense thing to post but it's the entire truth and that's all it can be. ADHD & Me in six key symptoms (with amusing doodles).
The Eisner-Nominated Hocus Pocus by @jordancollver.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social Professor Richard Wiseman and me is on sale at Vanishing Inc as part of their Vanishing Day sale!
Spooky, science comics!

Strangely enough I was showing this particular colouring job to my toddler in the library this week (she was not impressed)
To say I'm a massive fan of Red Dwarf is an understatement... I was so fixated on it as a kid that school had to contact my parents and ask them to "make me watch something else".
Thanks Rob Grant, rest in peace.

This is how I found out I guess 😐
These lads know how to tell great stories and it's been a great pleasure seeing these slowly come to being so please DO check out their history-tacular, pet-nificent books. Buy one for each of your kids. Buy another for each of your pets. Then buy one for every historical figure to have ever lived.
Things AI couldn't do no.4568, draw this shitty wizard in misguided attempt to appease my toddler's boredom in a local library

Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Rome by @jordancollver.bsky.social and me is out Thursday!
What the flip is doing Cameos in yer beige lounge then?
Here's another favourite spread of mine from our Ancient Rome book coming out this week. @rikworth.bsky.social writes pages like this he knows I'll get a kick out of drawing.
We were here. Easily the highlight of the festival for us, the wonderful anarchic joy of @touretteshero.bsky.social & Captain Hotknives. Also saw him in beautiful freeflowing form in late 2019 on the cusp of the world changing forever. Well it's a different time now alright... rest in peace Captain.
For no real reason I spent years making a musical podcast about the evolution of different genres. I have finished, and this is the very final episode and it's about heavy metal.
There was no need for this, but I'm weirdly proud that I finished it after so long.

I decided to take a brief wander with a long-lost art form: the teenage satirical comedy audio cassette. Turns out I made tons of them.
I'm in office today and available to colour all of these things when you get back to your desk to an email that says "WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THESE LETTERED BUT WE NEED THEM SUBSTANDARDLY COLOURED FIRST AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO TO ASK"
The contemporary pain of office culture appears to be having to endure endless hours of speculation on the Traitors. I feel like I'm in Pluribus. WHATS IN THE MILK CARTONS GUYS
More than a mug, it's starting to become a bit of a statement to still be on it I'd say
Bristolians have set up a bot to mock our appalling and overpriced bus service and I'm weirdly feeling a huge amount of local pride
...but it's so reliable!
These are so much fun to do and if you want covers this magical, this medical give us a shout!
“A feat so amazing, I am forced to point it out myself!”
Lovely to read this from the charming (and very hirable) Owen, who has brought so many of our comics to life. In fact, you can sing Collver, Worth and Watts to the same tune as Boggis, Bunce and Bean.
Check out the full article below!
A lovely little insight into the chromatic wizardry of my good friend and comic-spirator Owen, including our collaborations with @rikworth.bsky.social and @itraineu.bsky.social. My freelance career wouldn't be what it is without any of them!
Thanks Mr. Watts🖖
A post about the magic of my science communication colouring work, all done with the wondrous @jordancollver.bsky.social - doing covers for MedMaster creates a really nice thematic interaction with my NHS laboratory job as well 🧬🔬

Signs for this again next to the Rovers ground 🫡
A new post about colouring BATMAN for the wonderful Mr Michael Turnbull. I'm also very bat-vailable for any bat-colouring... you may ... bat-want. Bats
