Here - have a patchwork of colour variants I did whilst working out the cover for Arkspire 3: Revenge of the Misfits. I always find these really satisfying to look at, and to imagine what might have been. Arkspire 3:Revenge of the Misfits is out now: www.penguin.co.uk/books/451892...

What's that? A big reveal involving these two suspicious characters later on this afternoon?! I don't want to ruin the surprise, but it might rhyme with glover reseal... #arkspire #bookcover #coverreveal

The mugshots of two young twin sisters, Juniper and Elodie Bell, who look strikingly similar excpet for their differing hairstyles and expressions. Juniper is rough and angry, Elodie calm and neat.

GenAI is to me like designing a machine to eat doughnuts for you. Just fundamentally pointless and weird. Making art is eating the doughnut; it’s the good part, the whole thing. What are you gaining by denying yourself that?

Aaaaaaaaaand we're done! Phew - that took aaaaaaaaages. But hey, another illustration for Arkspire 3 off the too-do list. But I have another two to get done today, so I should probably get my skates on...

After a quick workout (gotta want it), still working my way through inking this. It's taking ages (curse my obsession with junky, pieced together vehicles), which comes as surprise to no-one, but we're getting there!

I'm inking this puppy this morning (an illustration from an early part of Arkspire Book 3)! Join me, why don't you, as I keep you up-to-date as to how I'm doing? I feel like the wagon could do with a driver, so I'm gonna add someone real quick to keep those horses company.

Gen AI might help you write that paper/CV which might help you get that grade/job…but will any of that matter when the earth is no longer liveable? I honestly don’t get how people aren’t getting that this tech is absolutely fucking the future of the actual planet over.

ITS A SCAM! Publishers DON’T charge YOU to make YOUR books, they PAY you. These guys aren’t tryna “Disrupt” anything, they’re depending on people who are desperately looking to be published to part with their money. It’s far cheaper to learn to write or self publish.
