Total Recall of the Heart’s campaign ends this Sunday! A snotty, obnoxious, salacious comic about what happens when you meet the girl of your dreams, only to realise you might be co-conspirators in a plot to eradicate debt by means of explosives. And also you kiss (a lot) tinyurl.com/3mjdt594

When life gets you down (for example, a cult of assassins want to kill you), nothing beats a visit to the local tavern. What's your favourite fantasy watering hole?

MCM London 2010. My first ever time exhibiting. My first ever self-published comic. Everytime I think I should be more ahead in my comic career, I think back to where I started and think about how that young Chud would be proud of where we have got to. 16 years telling stories and here's to 16 more.

I’ve always been a trade paperback evangelist but now finding the joy in single issues! I love visiting the local FP in Glasgow and choosing comics like I’m ordering in a tapas restaurant. The smaller page count and cheaper price point allows you to try all sorts. Todays train read

The AI and firing situation is horrible. Not everyone can afford to go independent, but it feels like small, nimble creatives who own their IP and route to market is the best way forward. Easier said that done though. I have a day job to survive.
