Mischief of Magpies by @sispurrier.bsky.social @matiasbergara.bsky.social and @dstlry.bsky.social is one of my favorite books being released these days. Inspiring! Hence another “sketch cover” over on @neonichiban.bsky.social marketplace. Love this book! 1 of 1 for sale. Go snag it while you can.

Very much enjoying MINOTAUR from @ignitionpress.bsky.social. Just when I think Si Spurrier's big brane is confounding me he suddenly makes me go "ahhh, right, I get it". W: @sispurrier.bsky.social A: Mike Dowling C: Sofie Dodgson L: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou

"With an uncomfortable and heartfelt and immensely intelligent script and wondrous visual work, Mischief of Magpies continues to be one of the most striking comics of 2026." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So that's nice, then. monkeysfightingrobots.co/review-a-mis...

I can't adequately describe how much I adore Empire Podcast. I've invested hundreds of hours and been deeply enriched. Warm, human, insightful; the perfect balance of script and conversation. I've hence been grievously pained by embedded adverts for A.I., read by @willdalrymple.bsky.social.

Irrespective of examples, I'm always a bit nonplussed by how readily this job - seemingly built on observation, reflection, fabrication and a subordination of the self to the story - can create personalities given to venality, self-importance and mean-spiritedness. Seems to miss the point, that.

This is Vinny. He’s almost ready to take his place chained to the wagon with the others in A Walking Shadow. Any resemblance is truly a coincidence. Seriously. Until i added his hair i didn’t realize i sculpted the Rez. @sispurrier.bsky.social

Of course afterwards I couldn't stop myself painfully explaining the error to the guy. "You see, my name is Simon, and... like, what I heard was..." He just smiled and shook my hand, like you might if you bumped into a confused pensioner. "Well, hello Simon." Then hurried off. Why am I like this.

Walking out of the rain into the shop this morning, smiley guy looks me in the eye and says "where you been Si, huh?" I don't recognise him, but this is normal. I assume faceblindness, smile back. Hide the anxiety. "I've been away, nice to see you, how's it with you?" Hoping recognition will dawn.

This is Bobby. She’s just 9 years old, lost in this forest with 7 strange adults. She’s chained directly opposite Frankie. A Walking Shadow. DC Vertigo @sispurrier.bsky.social Also look at these terribly dehydrated baby squirrels that I just dropped off at the animal wildlife rescue.

I'm not beefing here, and certatinly not with any specific creators or projects -- I've crowed about it as loud as anyone when I've had one... buuuut-- Your occasional reminder that a book getting a second printing is as much about publishers undersupplying as of unexpectedly high demand. [cont.]

Time to start meeting the cast of A Walking Shadow. My upcoming Vertigo book with @sispurrier.bsky.social This is Frankie. He’s found himself chained to a port side midsection oar of a mysterious wagon/boat in a dark forest with 7 other strangers for reasons unknown.
