Two book covers I did a while back, don't think I ever posted them here (ps - very open for book cover commissions!)

Cover art for "Canadian Chills Series No. 2 - Ghost Hotel" by Arthur Slade. The cover depicts two preteen kids looking into an elevator at something unseen and possibly scary out of frame.

Cover art for "Canadian Chills Series No. 1 - Return of the Grudstone Ghosts." The cover depicts a young girl coming across a glowing ghost boy in an old bell tower, piled with a bunch of old junk - a broom, some old books, comedy and drama masks, a basketball, a hula hoop, and so on.

It's kind of hilarious to see Bluesky eagerly making a run at self-immolation by learning absolutely nothing from Tumblr's self-own.

If this was the 80s, or there was any justice left in the world, this would be an entire toyline with a cartoon series backing it up.

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back. It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect. The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

Maybe if they focused on keeping the apps from being absolute memory pigs, stopped all the fun new bugs from crashing them all the time, and stopped shoving AI promos in your face all the time, we might be able to use them again instead of looking for functional alternatives.

Hey, it’s #PortfolioDay! I’m Ted, of Ted & Ro, and together we make comics! Currently working on the #WorstManOGN, a smart, fast, gay crime romcom set at a wedding, lettered by @gofrankgo.bsky.social, edited by @phoebehedges.bsky.social and published by @comicstitan.bsky.social!

A comic cover. A cheeky, skinny man with red hair and a red suit is toasting the camera as he's sat flamboyantly in the lap of a burly guy with curly black hair, who's glaring at the first guy. They're sat in a giant wedding cake, collapsing it. The redhead is using his foot to hold up the cake topper, a stylised image of the bride and groom. Sticking into the cake is a giant wedding invite with the title, "Worst Man". In the foreground, falling like confetti, are dove feathers.

A comics panel. A skinny red-headed guy with a nose bleed, wearing a hotel uniform, is looking at the camera and shrugging a bit

Two panels of a comic. Both are set in a large, spacious hotel lobby, behind the reception desk and looking out towards the grand front door.

Panel 1: a burly guy wearing a vest, pyjama bottoms and a belt with a gun and phone on it is gesturing a little awkwardly, looking embarrassed. A skinny guy wearing hotel uniform is looking a little embarrassed and shy.

Panel 2: the skinny guy is now looking overwhelmed and supremely embarrassed. The burly guy is stiffly walking in a huge panic off the side of the panel.

I was stumped on what to do for a display for my Darkwing figures when I stumbled onto the idea of an art heist featuring con sketches I'd bought from @tadstones.bsky.social and @silvaniart.bsky.social years ago. It's simple, but I think it turned out well.

Well, that's totally mortifying. Something about that pencil was bugging me, and I just realized I bumped it while adjusting layers and it was wildly uncentred.

I get asked a lot how to improve drawing skills and my advice has always been: - learn 1p, 2p, 3p grids & how to use them. 98% of the time why artists get stuck is bc they're guessing at perspective - get in the habit of completing full body poses. get used to thinking what the whole body is doing
