Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract so here's a new drawing of him in his happy place (PS this also marks the beginning of our quest to draw the entire Premier League by Xmas so wish us luck we're going to die x)
A bad drawing of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta inhabiting his customary liminal purgatory betwixt football pitch and technical area.

psychosis is a serious medical condition that causes by far the most amount of harm to the person actually experiencing it. psychotic is not a fun and emphatic way to say irrational, violent, confusing, incomprehensible, hypocritical, or evil.

Fela Kuti — Alejandro Torrecilla (@torre.pentel), 2025
A cover for a comic (that does not exist, alas) with artwork in a very Jack Kirby style. The center is Fela Kuti as a superhero — shirtless, a gold chain around his neck, white face paint as a mask on his face. He's moving towards us with his fist huge in the foreground due to foreshortening. The background, like I said, is very Jack Kirby: a machine/God/monster thing floating behind Fela and a saxophone floating beside him.
