Even the little grey cells need some rest…if possible! Here’s to a great summer!

Hehe, keep cool. Funnilly enough I googled that picture/scene two days ago as reference material 😅

Thomas D. Jensen @thomasdjensen.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Thank you very much, it’s much appreciated! 😊🙏 Love your work! Hehe, I can understand the associations, they are tough to ignore once made. For me it’s such a hard choice, and I would love to have them all in my garage (and the garage wouldn’t even have to be that large! Bonus!)

I’ve been wanting to revisit Back to the Future for a while. Finishing up on the illustration I then find out it’s Michael J. Fox’s birthday today. It was meant to be, apparently. I hope you enjoy! Oh, and Happy Birthday “Marty”!

Even the most renowned grey cells deserve a holiday. And what could be more fitting than a tranquil cruise along the Nile? #poirot

Electric dreams! Been a while since I drew a “Car of the Day”, so here’s an electric one…from 1974. Zagato, an Italian design and coach building company, produced the Zele, a microcar between 1974 and 1976. It wasn’t exactly known for it’s blistering speed, maxing out at around 50 kph / 30 mph.

It’s International Penguin Day (no, seriously it is!) So meet Patrick Penguin – a side character in a “solve-it-yourself-mystery-book” from a Kickstarter project I’ve been working on lately. More information this summer.

Quick Holmes and Watson concept characters for a potential future comic series. Not set in stone. Would you rather read new stories, or the classic ones? #sherlockholmes

Yeah it’s a game that seemed to be created with great warmth and humour. Glad I gave you a trip down memory lane!

The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) – one of the best games ever made! Did you ever play it? I had to do a little ligne claire homage of this funny and slightly crazy game. My personal favorites among the many versions are the pixel version from 1990 and the followup – LeChuck’s Revenge from 1991.

2. Many are fascinated by AI “art”, but as the internet gets saturated by it, it’ll look cheap and disposable. I fear that even the real work of great artists like Miyazaki will get tarnished by AI, and end up looking cheap and disposable.

1. Chat GPT’s “Ghibli” feature reminds me of the story of plastic: When plastic became available in the 50s and 60s, everybody loved it. It was stylish, modern – furniture, kitchenware, fashion. We all know how that ended: It’s now seen as cheap and disposable...

A little Black Adder homage a la ligne claire. Even though the first season was arguably the weakest, it’s nevertheless the right place to start. Maybe I’ll get back to the later seasons at some point. Which season was your favorite?

I was reminded of the great jumping scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off through Lewis Hamiltons homage video. Thought I’d do my own homage of the film scene. #ferrisbuellersdayoff #ferrari

Meet Jerkbert Duckson. He is not happy. Back when he was a hatchling, ducks didn’t simp to self-proclaimed alphas and wannabe fascists – they fought them. By all means share, if you sympathise with Jerkbert.

Young Hercule: Death Woven in Lace. Another “what if” comic album cover. Do these deserve a series? 🤔😅 #herculepoirot

Young Hercule – A little “what if” comic album cover. I thought it would be fun to envision what Hercule was up to before he became a private investigator. What do you think?

The Captain’s love of the new Lagonda. The Detective’s? Not so much. I’ve been busy with a few projects, so haven’t had much time to post here lately, but I hope you’ll enjoy this one (I did).

Thank you very much 😊🙏 Honestly I’m not a “car guy” myself. I don’t often enjoy the technical aspects, but as you I enjoy the design. And then they are fun to research and draw!

The Brazilian Puma GT. In 1966 the Brazilian automaker launched this beautiful car, designed by Rino Malzoni and mainly based on a DKW/VW platform.

I got the Twin Peaks box set for Christmas, so it was odd to suddenly hear of David Lynch’s death. As a fan of the series, as well as Lynch’s direction and his portrayal of FBI Chief Gordon Cole, I thought I’d keep it light by sharing a characteristically quirky Cole quote from the show.
