A little 5 pages episode from what will be an on-off series called Avalloc street. It's a lovely letter to Cymru, to folk tales, and friendship.

The whole thing is here, but you can also follow on Tapas, if that is your thing.

Just got a first edition of Undine (1909) illustrated by Rackham. This is one of my real favourites of his.

I am again running The Winchester Comics Fair, with my friend Tim Bird. If you want to keep up with what is happening or apply for a table, you can follow @winchcomics over on insta.

Here's a little poster I made. I went middle ages because not only does Winch have an awesome cathedral, but I like to think of mediaeval illuminated manuscripts as comics. They even had a penciller, inker, and colourist!

Dysphoria (2025)

This is a repaint of an illustration I first posted right here on this account over a decade ago when I first transitioned. I did this for TDOV this year as a sort of 'then vs now' for myself more than anything. A lot has changed in a decade. I've changed.

A decade ago visibility felt like liberation, but today it feels like a target. A decade ago politicians made a lot of promises to us, and today they can't run away from us fast enough. A decade ago I was crashing out in a dysphoria spiral. Today, in spite of everything, I'm at peace with myself.

It's Pride Month in the States and the Trans community is going through it. Between the Skrmetti decision and the threat of HR1 stripping care from Trans people of ALL ages on Medicaid and ACA plans, Trans people need support more than ever.

So I'm making this illustration available as a print in my shop and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Point of Pride, an organization dedicated to providing financial aid for transition care. I'll post receipts of funds donated at the end of the month.

I'm aiming to raise at least $2000, as that's the amount needed to cover 12 months of telehealth services, prescription medications, lab work, and more for at least one trans person in need of HRT.

Transition care really IS life saving, it saved MY life. I wouldn't have lived to make any of the art that people have told me they love so much. My whole portfolio, all my work over the years, none of it would exist. If my art has ever meant anything to you, please, help.

Now, off you fuck. This is what this painting by Elisabetta Sirani should be called.

Happy Solstice folks!

Here was the view from Winchester, England between 0340 and 0450 this morning.

Finally, this book is done!!

Three years and 224 pages later. If you follow here, you will have witnessed the on-off progress.

I learned alot.

Although I still draw with a pencil on a page, I used digital way more. By the final section, I even introduced full colour, which felt like a huge step forward. And, I actually like how most of it looks. Next time, we will be making smaller books.

It's off to the printer now for a proof and any final edits. dM me if you fancy reading a hard copy.

My archeology class has really given me a renewed and visceral hatred of ancient aliens shitheads literally the laziest and most incurious and thoroughly racist pseudoscience in existence
