A couple more panels from my upcoming graphic novel, WYNTERBOURNE...

3 men sit around a campfire in Edwardian workers clothes. The fire illuminates them from beneath a suspended pot while a well behaved dog sits attentively by his master

A Birdseye view of a woman sprawled senseless upon the grown in a flowing white nightgown. Rocks hang in the air above her, close to the viewer.

Nothing at all spooky going on in this house, I assure you... A panel from my upcoming graphic novel, WYNTERBOURNE

A grand Regency style house sits beneath a dramatic purple sky, shadows falling deeply across its lower storey...

NormKonyu@normkonyu· 12d

Hmm. I wonder what's behind all that? A panel from my upcoming graphic novel, WYNTERBOURNE....

A couple, dressed in 1920s fashions, stare up at a confused tangle of branches and undergrowth on the other side of a wooden fence

"There's something just through here..." A panel from my upcoming graphic novel WYNTERBOURNE...

A couple in 1920s clothing push their way through dense and thorny undergrowth. The man holds tight to his hat so it doesn't get pulled off by the vines...

Good morning from the village of Wynterbourne Prior, the setting for my next book...

A peaceful scene of the sun rising above a small Wiltshire village, all blue skies above and hazy light over the rooftops

NormKonyu@normkonyu· 18d

I've seen this posted on comicsbeat.com, so I assume it's clear for me to say that I have a variant cover coming out for @comicstitan.bsky.social Hawkmoon- The Mad God #1, available Oct 7th or by preorder now... #coverart #comics #michaelmoorcock

The hero created by Michael Moorcock, Hawkmoon, rides at full gallop away from the ruins of a city, pursued by a huge flock of ravens beneath a sunset sky

NormKonyu@normkonyu· 19d

Another day and another panel from my upoming graphic novel- I think I've settled on the title WYNTERBOURNE. The title always comes last. I'm backwards that way (and many others)... #comics #graphicnovel #falling

A woman with red hair in a white nightdress with an incredible long trail, falls through a black void along with other debris

NormKonyu@normkonyu· 20d

Before the safety of white vans, men used to look at women from pub doorways... A panel from my upcoming graphic novel. #comics #graphicnovel #pub

A woman in 1920s fashion, stands in the rain under her umbrella. Behind her, a horse and carriage approaches her in silhouette. In a nearby pub doorway, two men peer out at her suspiciously

NormKonyu@normkonyu· 20d

A little roadside conversation- a panel from my work in progress graphic novel... #wip #comicart #graphicnovel

Two vehicles are parked roadside under a blue sky with chunky clouds. The first is a 1920s flatbed truck, the second an open top vintage car. The driver of the truck is standing beside the car, speaking amiably with the woman driver.

Nothing better to take your mind off a strange and disturbing day than a spin in the country as the sun sets.... A panel from my current graphic novel in progress. #comics #sunset #graphicnovel

A classic car travels across the frame backlit by a vivid sunset and tall sheafs of grass rising in the foreground

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Jul 6

A caricature of Elric, the troubled fantasy warrior character created by Michael Moorcock, standing in a red cloak, sword drawn.

I really hate vivid waking dreams. So, I was kind enough to share the experience with one of the characters in my upcoming graphic novel... #dream #soldier #comics

A woman with red hair sits suddenly upright in her bed. In the darkness at the foot of her bed stands a WWI soldier, staring back at her.

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Jul 3

A lady on a mission. A panel from my current work in progress graphic novel. #graphicnovel #comics

A woman stands with her hair and white dress blowing in the breeze against an unnaturally bright background. Her hands rest upon the plunger of an old detonator.

Look! I managed posting two days in a row! A miracle! Here's another image from the graphic novel I'm currently slogging my way through! #neolithic #comicart #graphicnovel

An uncovered Neolithic burial chamber stands silhouetted against a summer sky made up of three support stones and a single capstone

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Jun 27

I should have started sharing images from my graphic novel WIP ages ago, but I'm rubbish at putting aside social media time! So here's one to start. Let's see how I get on with posting stuff regularly, shall we? #graphicnovel. #comicart

A 1920's open top car has come to a halt on a country lane because of a tree fallen across the road.

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Apr 11

Milestone reached on a new graphic novel! All the vector artwork is done! Now all I have to do is address the snag list, do all the textures and painting, put it all together with the text, and probably end up revisiting sections as the doubt sets in! Easy. #graphicnovel

An Edwardian lady stands in the rain under an umbrella as her skirt blows gently in the wind

A man in suspended under a bright red sky, drawn towards a light above hime as rocks tower up alongside him

A WW1 soldier stands in No-man's Land, surrounded by the shattered tree trunks. The sky is blood red and a powerful source of light shines in the distance.

An Edwardian couple say their farewells to each other under spring budding branches

Out today from @glenatbd.bsky.social ... the French edition of my first graphic novel, The Junction!

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Jan 20

As the French edition of THE JUNCTION is being released by @glenatbd.bsky.social tomorrow, it gives me the excuse to drag out my original trailer from when I first crowdfunded it. The Glénat trailer drops tomorrow, a much classier affair. Still available in English from @comicstitan.bsky.social !

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Jan 9

Look at this beauty! My advance copy of the French edition of THE JUNCTION from @glenatbd.bsky.social . They've made the book as gorgeous as possible and it pairs well with their earlier release of DOWNLANDS. Out on Jan 21rst!

Edgar Allan Poe would be so pleased. Everything is smartphone ready these days-- you are only ever an email click away from your 'Entry Into Madness'.

NormKonyu@normkonyu· Dec 11

As the list has now been published online, I suppose it's safe to say that the French edition of my graphic novel DOWNLANDS was an official selection for the 2026 Angoulême Festival, a great honour and a dream come true. Shortly afterwards, the festival was cancelled. @!&?*@! @glenatbd.bsky.social

A rave review by Brett @graphicpolicy.com for THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TREES! Favourite quote? The book is trippy enough that "you can enjoy it without hitting the pipe and getting blazed..."! Link to the full review and all the more conventional praise Brett uses: graphicpolicy.com?s=space+betw...
