Not gonna lie, I keep forgetting to post on here 🫣 Here’s the cover for my next book ☺️ it’s called “SUPER GOAT GIRL” and it’s written by the awesome Tracey Baptiste. It’s really cool and it’s out July 15th (US) and 17th (UK). Can’t wait for yous to see it. ☺️

I'm hosting a Phoenix Comic illustration workshop on Sat 19th July at Waterstones, Lincoln High Street. 2-3pm, £5 per ticket. Tickets limited so book early. I'll be helping you design your own comic character and then showing you how to create a comic page. Signing and Sketching after the event.

Morning! I'll be at @barneskidslitfest.bsky.social on Sunday to for doodles, drama and dance! Currently writing book six so Loki is inhabiting me entirely. Add in the current heatwave and I cannot be held responsible for the ensuing chaos. #KidLitUK TICKETS HERE: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/louie-stow...

We’re over the moon to share that #Homebody by Theo Parish has been selected as the Winner of the Shadowers’ Choice Medal for Illustration 2025! ✨🤩 Congratulations Theo! 🎉 #Carnegies2025 #Booksky

The thing that I personally don't understand about AI art is the not creating part. If I didn't draw or write or be creative in some way every day, my head would explode. I enjoy it too much. Just don't get it.

Join me for some Saturday morning doodle ridiculousness on the 12th of July! I can almost certainly guarantee some hilarity and maybe a dash of weirdness too! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/squid-bits...

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

The only horoscope I recognize

A film I can watch at any time is Spellbound, a 2002 documentary about the National Spelling Bee. It's a really charming film and it's on YouTube. Highly recommended!

Last summer, educators in 50 school settings around the UK asked children aged 4-10 to name their favourite book. Here are the results of this informal survey. schoolreadinglist.co.uk/category/chi... #teachertwitter #kidlit

The original G.O.A.T

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Sorry to spam the timeline so much with this, but I want to make sure people who don’t check socials every day see the opportunity to order I sold out of a few but more are on the way in the next week or so Will keep this open for a few more weeks, but drop an order anytime!

@nellucnhoj.bsky.social I knew it would be a cursed image...

Holiday.

Holiday.

Did someone say graphic novel? Because me and #MinkyStapleton did a thing with Team #Scholastic! Meet the world’s worst superheroes in the first book of The Terrible Trio series, landing in bookshops and libraries THIS SEPTEMBER. Support your local indie bookshop if you fancy preordering 🙌🏾

How to Save your Granny from a Runaway Train by me and @jessbradley.bsky.social is out NEXT MONTH!! 🧪

Predator: Killer of Killers is really good. Loved the designs of the Predators and overall just a great story and gorgeous to look at.

Rekall Rekall Rekall!

Chatty gulls.

My current favourite sketchbook. I usually have 3-4 on the go.

A HUGE congratulations to everyone at @the-phoenix-comic.bsky.social celebrating issue 700 this week! SUCH an amazing achievement, and a testament to how much children love comics, and how many incredible comic creators we have. Shout out to @rdcomics.bsky.social for this incredible cover, too! 🤩
