Since everyone and their hog is talking about THAT documentary, here’s my long personal piece again about what ADHD actually means to someone with it. I have no choice but to live it, and labelling it and meeting like-minded folk will never cure it or make it magically disappear, but it helps.

Local arty cinema doing cool "toddler film" events, decide to get involved and find they want an eye-watering £15 a ticket plus another fifteen for each adult, crikey very few other things for kids have such a prohibitive mark-up on them !

I have started a secret art jam group on a non-US theft engine supporting server. If you want to join my quiet idyll, give me a honk and I'll tell you know how. Our current theme is essentially "ancient horror" and we've been beavering away on dark visions. More to come, do join us.

@weirdbristol.bsky.social thought you'd be the right person to ask but do you know more about this purloined horse on the Blaise stables? All it says on the listing is "The bas-relief was brought back from Italy by Joseph Harford Junior in 1832." Hmm

Rare bit of fan art for me for SNL UK, fair play to it, despite being tethered to the American format it can get genuinely very dark and weird. Really enjoyed the "pork board" sketch in the last episode 😅

The science of these little critters is pretty nuts. Here's a comic I did with @rikworth.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social for @bhamlalab.bsky.social #InverteFest #Sciart

Comic page featuring cartoon ripple bugs watching human canoers struggling against some rapids and talking about how much easier it is with their feathery fan structures on the tips of their "oar" legs

Comic page with cartoon ripple bigs talking about how their leg fans create water vortexes and allow them to turn on a dime.

A little sequence I forgot about, which I quite like. From the thalidomide comic @rikworth.bsky.social @owenwattsdraws.bsky.social & I made with @itraineu.bsky.social - frommoleculetodrug.com/thalidomide-...

6 panel comic vignette of a classical heroin faving off against a giant serpent, cutting its head off, dipping the tip of her arrow in its venom and loading her bow against an even larger looming shadow.

I was formatting one of the articles in the "War Stories" TF zine I'm working on and Red Dwarf was mentioned then before I knew it...this happened. #art

"Smegatron" an interpretation of the ship "Red Dwarf" (of the BBC show of the same name) as a transformer. The Red Dwarf is a squat red heaxagonal ship that forms a point at one end and a large, funnel-like engine at the other. The pointed end had a series prongs extending from each side of the hexagon that extend to almost double the length of the ship. A large asteroid is lodged into the side of the ship.

Smegatron himself is a large, bulky, red robot with yellow eyes, the asteroid lodged in his lower abdomen, the prongs now placed on his back.

Smegatron is accompanied by the headmaster "Smeghead," a smaller robot who transforms into the head of Smegatron.

To say I'm a massive fan of Red Dwarf is an understatement... I was so fixated on it as a kid that school had to contact my parents and ask them to "make me watch something else". Thanks Rob Grant, rest in peace. ((Ross Bampfylde art - my colouring, from yonks ago))

“A feat so amazing, I am forced to point it out myself!” Lovely to read this from the charming (and very hirable) Owen, who has brought so many of our comics to life. In fact, you can sing Collver, Worth and Watts to the same tune as Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Check out the full article below!

“Now it goes without saying that the two of us are also indebted in a lot of these projects to the writing genius that is journo and writer Rik Worth and it was on our work for public health consultancy Transmissable on Thalidomide that I got to see first-hand how deftly Rik can weave a logical and emotive narrative out of dense and knotty subjects. Jordan then turning this into thoughtful and impeccable vision. You can read the Thalidomide comic here and the dream team has now found great success applying their serious storytelling skills to ancient history in Pets Tell Tales for Hachette.”

Followed by comic panels depicting a snake, a casuceus and prosthetics.
