Sales of the Unexpected! A brand new, 6-page indie comic written and drawn by me! This originally appeared in the @hireillo Sequential Showcase Comic Anthology volume 1. Page 2 of 6: Phew! Thanks to that rock, Lucy the racing tortoise is okay, but who is lurking in the shadows? P.S. please forgive Instagram’s silly cropping here.

Nice! I made the @hireillo Top 10 Xmas Gift List+ 2022! hireanillustrator.com/i/blog/xmas-li… You heard them, go and buy my prints for Christmas! MUCH more impressive than socks. (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClqeqStKzWx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Can’t say what this is for yet, but here’s a rough that I’m pretty happy with, so far! (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cll07a2q1nW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Decided to colour my Sharkticon to get my marker skills back up. Completely forgot to scan this so I could also colour it digitally, but on the plus side, whoever wants to buy this is getting a 100% unique original! (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClQzTWYK-V-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today’s sketch: can you tell I like Sharkticons? They are so much fun to draw! (Drawn with Pigma Micron 05, Pigma MB brush pen & Prismacolor col-erase blue on A6 Bristol board). (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck8DK21qH_1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Page 5 in ‘Chances Are’ was where I felt like I’d hit my stride. That means 4 pages came before this that I was insecure about. Creating art isn’t a sprint; have faith that persisting will pay off, because I’m honestly really proud of Chances Are.

I’m rediscovering physical media (I’m thinking of selling originals) so I thought I’d start with a headshot of Shattered Glass Optimus Prime! (Drawn with Pigma Microns and brush pen on Bristol Board) (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLFHXrqJHQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“RATS! Thousands of them!” Inspired by #IDW’s #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles ‘Inside Out’ Directors cut where they showed the original layouts that Kevin Eastman drew for Bill Sienkiewicz. (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgRtLKHKXiK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Super focussed day today, & I won’t be around on social, so have a classic scene from #JurassicPark that I drew for @scifinowagram a good while ago! (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfBVScxKHy4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rats! Line art from my #TMNT image, based on Kevin Eastman’s roughs for Bill Sienkiewicz comic for IDW. (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoJYI-Kh_M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have been focussed on colouring the last few days, so wanted to do a warm-up before I do some character design for something new I’m working on. This is based on an unused layout that Eastman drew for Sienkiewicz on TMNT: Inside Out (by IDW comics) (at Swindon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeljYi8KoWG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
