I illustrate and write the comics ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’ and ‘The Trash Pandas and the Magic Spray Cans’. I also spray paint walls and draw pictures!! I love cats and comics! Ha.
I couldn’t help but doodle Rogue Trooper last week too. Just for fun!! @_rogue_trooper @2000adcomic @roguetrooperfilm @2000adartcomp
Tiger Lightning Paws kicking some ass!!! This will definitely be a sticker, may be the Issue 5 Tote Bag design and is on the short list for the Issue 5 Tee. #comic #comicsketch #tigerlightningpaws #aftertherobotapocalypse #aftertherobotapocalypsethecomic
I did a variant cover for Issue 2 of Sayonara Senorita by the awesome kwiz1988 His Kickstarter starts on August the 3rd… so get involved and support him. I loved the first Issue and Kev is a lovely guy. Ps this character may appear in both ‘Sayonara Señorita’ and ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’…
Back for Day 2 of the @comicconmidlands at the @necbirmingham We had a great day yesterday with the most popular products being the comics, A.I Art Sucks pin badges and A.I Art Sucks tees. So that’s good. Come and say Hi! We are in the back row of the creator zone.
We are all set up and ready for business at @comicconmidlands I’ve already sold a bunch of A.I Art Sucks goodies. Ha. Crazy. #comiccon #comiccons
I designed this tattoo for one of the characters in my comic (Nicki)… and yesterday I went and got (a version of) it tattooed on me by the awesome @richyhurle Bring the pain!! #tattoo #tattoos
I have drawn Judge Rascal a few times and I couldn’t resist drawing him again yesterday. Ha. He’s a fun character to draw. @judgedreddfanpage @2000adcomic @judgedredd.2000ad @2000adartcomp
Filton is running to become the next UK Town of Culture 2028 and a few weeks back I helped them create a digital postcard. Here it is. The postcard was submitted to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). @filtontowncouncil @dcmsgovuk
Dad Jokes 1. Newspaper comic strip style. ‘Mini ATRA’ 1 featuring Captain Stogie, The Mayor and mILK from my comic ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’. #miniatra #aftertherobotapocalypse #aftertherobotapocalypsethecomic #milkwithachainsaw #captainstogie
How cool is this! I got my ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’ Issue 4 Superstar Artist Variant back from the superstar artist that painted the cover… and he’s signed it! Yay. Love it. Thanks so much @ewanagain Ps there are still a couple of these covers available on my Big Cartel..
How I drew this angry mILK cARTON… on @Procreate #milkwithachainsaw #aftertherobotapocalypse #aftertherobotapocalypsethecomic
Inking this soon. Another page from Issue 5 of my After the Robot Apocalypse comic. But who are the characters!? Hmm.
I can’t believe it’s been five years since I painted this wall. It was called ‘Freedom’ and was painted in 2021, just after the Covid lockdowns when we couldn’t go out or to the countryside. It features Nicki and Scout from my After the Robot Apocalypse comic, 1 year before Issue 1…
Here is a sneak peak of some of the amazing colouring of Issue 5 of After the Robot Apocalypse by the awesome @cf_lum I’m so pleased that CF is back for Issue 5. I love working with him and his colours are badass! I mean, how cool does this page look!? #comic #comiccolorist
I drew this the other day and thought it would be fun to share another process video. Yes! Another inking (and colouring) video. Created using @procreate
Tiger Lightning Paws kicking some ass!!! Here is a sneak peak of more pencils from Issue 5 of After the Robot Apocalypse. The first 20 pages have been pencilled, The first 9 pages have been inked, And the first 5 pages have been coloured… So it’s getting there!! Exciting times.
Not Another Inking (@Procreate inking) Video! Yep! Another. I know people like these, but let me know if you do… or don’t! #inking #drawing #comic #comicdrawing
One of my favourite parts of creating comics is building the world and designing the characters that live within the fictional story I’m telling. In Issue 5 you will be introduced to the ‘main baddies’ of this story… and here is a sneak peak of my concept sketches.
I promised I would make this sketch into a short comic strip. Here you go. Hope you like it. Trash Panda luchador wrestling a cactus luchador! #luchador #mexicanwrestling #trashpanda #raccoon #mexico
Every ATRA cover from 1-5… although there will be an Issue 1 Directors Cut cover to add to this too soon. Ha. #comiccover #comiccoverart
I was supposed to head out and paint with the amazing @thedoordieclub last week, but I’m a fair weather princess these days, so due to bad weather I didn’t go… but this is what I would have painted! The wall was Mexican inspired and I thought Rascal as a luchador wrestling a cactus would be fun!
I’m so lucky, throughout my art career, to have worked with so many talented creators and I’m so glad that that has continued into my comic creating. Here are the Superstar Artist Variant Covers of “After the Robot Apocalypse” 2-6 (5-6 still to be released).
How cool is the full colour cover of the Superstar Artist Variant for Issue ‘6’ of ‘After the Robot Apoclaypse’ by @calum.gillespie Admittedly it isn’t coming out until later this year, or early next year (as I still have Issue 5 to come out first).
Inking Video! (Is it still called inking… when you draw it in @procreate ? I’m still drawing with a pen on a pad…. Just no Ink! Anyway…) One of the new pages for Issue 5 of ‘After the Robot Apocalypse’. Coming later this year. Hope you like it.
More inks and a new bad robot for Issue 5 of After the Robot Apocalypse. It’s getting there. (Slowly). Full inking video coming soon. Drawn with pencil, inked on @procreate
How cool is this! This is the black and white version of the Superstar Artist Variant Cover for Issue ‘6’ of ‘After the Robot Apoclaypse’. From the amazing @calum.gillespie (fellow Bristol Comic Club Member) who is currently working on his own comic ‘Fruit’, amongst other things.
How did I draw this? Drawing/WIP video imminent! Here’s a step by step video showing my process when I drew this page for this years Lawless Charity comic, alongside a bunch of Amazing Comic Talent. The comic is brought to you by the awesome team at @77publishing Written by @stevebullybull
The Black Phone! Step by Step of how I made this boring black phone…FUN!! The client asked for some pop art on the phone, and this is what I did! Hope you like it…. And the video. (I think it’s my favourite video yet… and I’m a comedy genius. I know!) Created using
Look how many comics and merch we have on our tables these days!! This is the After the Robot Apocalypse table at Lawless last weekend. Mega!!
Ok. I’ve started inking pages for Issue 5 now, I’ve also got the Superstar Cover for Issues 5 (AND 6) and so it feels like the perfect time to remind you of the upcoming Homage Variant Cover for Issue 5. I couldn’t resist homaging The Dark Knight Returns. There will only be 50 of these.
