Three days of October, three spooky or gothy outfits. I went to to the goth fair at Kirkgate market today and got a fab belt from @dungeonhoney.bsky.social that I hope to show off this month. Also took the opportunity to buy some fabric for my Halloween costume! 🪲
I'm taking a selfie in a mirror. I'm wearing all black - a cardigan, miniskirt, black tights and stompy boots. I've got chunky silver and black jewellery on. I'm taking a slightly blurry selfie, I'm wearing a black and blue short sleeved shirt with a gothic sea-themed print. There are mermaids, seahorses, shells and skulls. I have a silver shell necklace on.I'm wearing a black and black white cardigan and this is a close up of my skeleton hand necklace.

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Asterix Archiv 🐗 @comedix.de · 20/09/2026
Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

I've just put my noise cancelling headphones on with my usual ambient audio of a thunderstorm and it reminded me of something long forgotten... Rain. I never expected to be this nostalgic for it.

Have that (Print run of this one now available in my shop at www.stephencollinsillustration.com)
[Scene is a BEACH. A little kid is running towards the shore. Speech bubbles that follow are mostly coming from THE SEA, which is sort of talking to us.]

1
THE SEA:
Happens all the time. 

2
THE SEA:
One second they’re a kid thoughtlessly running into me for joy

[Show kid running towards the sea]

3
THE SEA:
And the next, they’re an adult standing there 
contemplating my sublime, death-like endlessness.

[Show the kid instantly transformed into an adult, hands on hips, boringly contemplating the horizon].

4
THE SEA:
I mean, I get it. I’m the *Sea*.

I don’t really do the whole ‘time’ thing.

But it always seems to happen so *quick*.

5
THE SEA:
Right. One way to fix this.

[Shoe the waves licking up against their toes]

6
PERSON [shocked from cold]:
JESUS

7
THE SEA:
Come on 
a bit further ….

[Person paddles out into the water a bit]

8
THE SEA:
That’s it…
bit further…

[Person wades to waist height]

9
THE SEA:
Right.

[Person standing still waist height in sea]

10
THE SEA:
HAVE THAT.

[BIG WAVE goes over them]

11
[They are instantly transformed back to a kid again]

KID [laughing]:
UURGHHAHA

12
THE SEA:
Works every time

Today's Poindexter thought: If it has no ears & moves by galumphing on its belly: It's a seal. If it has ears & stands on its flippers and shuffles around: It's a sea lion. The 12-year-old in me who aches to correct you when I see this mistake being made, but does not, thanx u for your time.
A seal. It has no ears and lays flat on the beach.A sea lion. It has tiny ears and stands upright on its flippers.
