I am open for commissions. Actually, I always am but I thought I'd remind you. I have seen a drop-off in commissioned work and I suspect I know why, so I adjusted my Bluesky bio accordingly. 🤖 #notoAIart

That almost feels like it should be a Zen koan, right next to "what is the sound of one hand clapping?"

This cartoon from @roystoncartoons.bsky.social lives rent-free in my head.

Cartoon by Royston. What looks like a ready meal with plastic film covering it. Cardboard sleeve reads:
"Oven-ready Brexit. Use by 31/1/2020. Prick with a fork (next to an image of Boris Johnson). Warning: may blow up in your face

Whenever I hear Trump's messages and posts read out on the radio I imagine they are in colourful Comic Sans with lots of cheesy clip art. (Message to Norway's PM presented verbatim.)

The wonderful Four Candles brewpub in Broadstairs closed its doors on New Year's Day after 13 years. It will be much missed. Here's the brewing process cartoon I drew ten years ago, featuring faces from the pub, which was displayed on a big board alongside the casks.

we all remember the 2019 campaign "get brexit done" with "oven ready deals". Well it's 5 years later and it's abundantly clear that it was a disastrous decision. It's pushing up taxes in the UK now because of the lack of real economic growth. @roystoncartoons.bsky.social

a roystoncartoon featuring a ready meal box with a cover called OVEN READY BREXIT. Use by 31/1/2020 with a picture of Boris Johnson alongside a tagline "Prick with a Fork" and "WARNING. May Blow Up In Your Face!"

There are many things wrong with this psuedo Van Gogh painting from The Range, one of which is that it looks like a ginger one-eared Jeremy Corbyn.
