Happy Free RPG Day! Here’s my contribution, enjoy! #freeRPGday

The Thunder Child kickstarter passed £14k last night, which is incredible. That unlocks a wraparound cover for Issue 3 from Kevin Castaniero. From the bottom of @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & my heart, thank you all for the support, backing & shares. www.kickstarter.com/projects/153...

BLOODLETTER DAY continues tonight for the debut day NEW YORK signing of BLOODLETTER #1, my new SPAWN UNIVERSE series from @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social Productions and @imagecomics.com !! Bulletproof Comics Inc 2178 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11210 6:00 - 8:00 P.M.! RAIN OR SHINE!!

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

A heads up that serial scammer, Frazer Brown, is now on Blue Sky. If you are a comic creator, and he reaches out to you or anyone you know to take part in any projects, stay well away from him.

Fathers Day. The Gracenator got me this mug. That's me on the side. Dare you to say it's not :)

This is awesome lol

We are now sitting at £13,027 with 16 days left, and things are still moving forward at a rate that @matthew-hardy.bsky.social really didn't except. Everyone on the book is so grateful for the support. We can't wait to show you the epic finale!

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent “Now look," snapped the Dean, "we've searched everywhere for a decent library on this island. There simply isn't one! It's ridiculous. How is anyone supposed to get anything done?”

Thunder Child is sitting at £12,633 with 18 days left. Usually by this stage, pledges have slowed to a crawl & I'm working myself into a frenzy getting things moving again. Not this time. Pledges are still coming in and I am immensely grateful for all the support and love shown. kck.st/4kHvrMl

This morning we passed the 400 backers marker and also the £12,000 mark. Thank you all so much, from @matthew-hardy.bsky.social, Kevin Castaniero, @simongough2099.bsky.social and myself. All physical backers now get a wicked @philthepage.bsky.social print! www.kickstarter.com/projects/153...

There can only be one correct option for the Doctor and her companion

Trying to source some good comic websites to promote Thunder Child to. Are Major Spoilers and AIPT any good? And does any of my friends on here have any contacts there? What other websites are out there?

Friends, Comic Makers, Fellow Funny Pages Creators...Lend me your ears...eyes...attention. Can anyone give @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and I any leads/tips/Suggestions etc on getting press releases out to comic and pop culture sites? We would genuinely really appreciate it. Thank you!

Ayayayayyayyyyyyy!!!! 😱😱🤖 ALTIPLANO, the complete Peruvian Cyberpunk Graphic Novel is coming to Kickstarter soon!!! Please follow this link to be notified when it launches!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gus... 🔥 Please share away!!! Wiiiiiiii 🐯😁🤖🤖 #PeruvianCyberpunk #graphicnovel

I honestly try to avoid discussing FB, but this frankly boiled my blood. In March 2019, I suffered a double organ failure and almost died. I spent over a year recovering. I ran and completed a Kickstarter 5 months later and 9 more since. If he was too unwell to fulfil, it was on him to say so.

We've spent two issues building up the tension and the danger for the Crew of the HMS Thunder Child. So we are not messing around in issue 3 - it's carnage from the outset as seen here. Art by Kevin Castaniero and @simongough2099.bsky.social kck.st/4kHvrMl

I just backed WAR OF THE WORLDS: THUNDER CHILD - THE COMPLETE SAGA on @kickstarter.com I couldn't resist it - I've always been struck by the futile bravery of Thunderchild, and this looks like an excellent story!

FIGHT OR FLIGHT full cover by @marcoroblin.bsky.social. Now with fancy logo stuff by @robjoneswrites.bsky.social Insides probably ruined with words by me.

One of the hand drawn commission from Kevin Castaniero from the Complete Thunder Child. The request was WW2 Allied fighters planes attacking the Martian's Tripods. kck.st/4kHvrMl

'Empathy is how I feed my family' is going to stick with me, I think. Love this take.

Would you like a commission from #2000ad droid Matt Soffe? Well here's your chance! Matt is offering both A4 and A3 fully inked commissions to backers of the #SPEARPOINT Campaign. And of course you get a copy of the new book Get yours at: kck.st/3Fl8zmW

I'm limiting myself to posting ONE image of the complete Thunder Child a day. This counts right? Featuring a bunch of cool Tripod art by: - Kevin Castaniero @norrie.bsky.social @christiandibari.bsky.social @maxdavenportyo.com Warwick Fraser-Coombe kck.st/4kHvrMl

This just came in the post from @normkonyu.bsky.social It's magnificent. In presentation and execution. And its huge! (Lego Quasar for scale).

Review: Circe Book One from @bhuna1967.bsky.social "There is demonic divinity in every facet of the art, and it's hard not to be spellcast by it. A powerhouse experience deserving of discovery." www.comicbooknews.co.uk/article/revi...

The original Caverns of Khafka game took it's inspiration from a very familiar pulp film hero. So I got to lean into that as well for this story - and Anna Readman's art perfectly drove that point home. @andylanning.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social

As a kid, I would not have got the joke but I would have done this CONSTANTLY all the same.

Prints are looking good!

I rarely share the same image more than once - but I think this variant cover by @normkonyu.bsky.social needs to be seen again. Thunder Child #3 is here - kck.st/4kHvrMl

One Path By Greg Brodmore and published by @madcavestudios.com An incredible graphic nov of #Weird #StoneAndSorcery adventure! A tribe of cave women struggling to survive in a savage land with dinosaurs, sorcery and ancient horrors! #GraphicNovel #Primal 1/2

This guy is finally available at auction… I don’t get a cut, but I wonder what it will go for?🔥 comics.ha.com/itm/original...

@robjoneswrites.bsky.social is lettering one of these so we are having lots of chats about our joint love of Pratchett at the moment. I'm so excited for Rob and to see these come together.

Something ELSE I've got coming this year (hey I've been very ill and have a lot of catching up to do!) is the VEHI-KILL Graphic Novel from Markosia. Here is the slightly mental cover from @norrie.bsky.social - (without Trade Dress at present).

Just doing some admin on the Kickstarter and had to add this image - so I though I'd also share it here. The crew of the HMS Thunder Child in the shadow of a Tripod.... Art by Kevin Castaniero and @simongough2099.bsky.social kck.st/4kHvrMl

More teaser at for Rift Reavers from @philthepage.bsky.social I'm damn excited by this project - really hope it gets picked up. This might well be the most crazy thing Rob and I have ever wrote - and we took a stab at a War of the Worlds story. @robjoneswrites.bsky.social
