- Variations of a cover for Bitch Planet, drawn by @vdelandro.bsky.social and colored by me, for a book written by @kellysue.bsky.social and published by @imagecomics.com. Obviously, only the first image was used, but I had fun going a bit out of my mind with play. #colors #comics
- Motherfuckers. Fuck Audible. Spent so much money there over the years. But no more.
- Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans. P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
- Finally getting the driveway done at our house after living here more than three years with just gravel. About time!
- Your satisfying video of the day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw4Z...
- Seems to be Barry Smith's first issue, and cover. Came out December 12, 1968, 5 days before my birthday.
- Great weekend. Varied. Wrote, attended an SF con in Zagreb, spent an evening in a pub with friends, hung out with my family, walked the dog a few times,submitted short stories, hung corner bass traps in our drum room with my son, mucked around in the garden, and now, sneaking in more writing.

- At SFerakon in Zagreb yesterday, I also attended a talk by concept artist @gorandelic.bsky.social, who's worked on Star Trek, among other shows and games. Go follow him.
- Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a talk by @jelenawrites.bsky.social, and bought her book. Nice meeting you, Jelena. I look forward to reading your book. #writing #fiction #indiepublishing
- My horror story "The Sin Eater's Chrysalis" is up at Tales to Terrify, as a podcast. ~50 minutes long. Go forth, and check it out. Yes, there are spiders. Thanks to Rish Outfield for doing a killer job reading, and to @mlmorgenstern.bsky.social and team. #writing #fiction #indiepublishing #horror
- Fucked up. The court allowed a murdered man's family to write a script that was read by an AI video of the dead man, as a victim statement. Screwed up. That's the family's statement, not the victims. The family should make that statement, not a faked video of the victim. www.bbc.com/news/article...
- My story "The Sin Eater's Chrysalis" is set to appear this Friday at @talestoterrify.bsky.social, in episode 693. Woo hoo! I'll post the link once it goes live.
- Lovely note from my son this afternoon. Not too bad for a 14 YO who's bilingual. One spelling error, and I'd drop that first "have," so would instead write: "If I hadn't shat in the morning, I would have to shit now." What say you, grammarians?
- A page from Doctor Strange. Drawn by Pasqual Ferry and colored by me. Marvel. 2023. #comics #coloring
- Another texture study on a Friday night. I like the weird globule shit going on here, with loads of micro detail. Alcohol ink on Yupo paper. #painting #texture #alcoholink
- "Because I feel like bombing a church Now, now that you know that the preacher is lying So who's going to stay at home When, when the freedom fighters are fighting" www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw3k...
- I posted this one a couple of weeks ago, but in the interim, I tried to flatted it with heavy books. This one was done with fire. I dripped alcohol and alcohol ink onto the paper, then lit it on fire. The alcohol burned holes in the pooled areas. Erosion art. #painting #texture #alcoholink
- Background work for current comic page. Alcohol ink on Yupo paper, color corrected in Clip Studio Paint with a gradient map. #painting #texture #ClipStudioPaint
