My latest mini-comic is now available on my shop (mike-armstrong.com/shop); a short, silent story about RELATIONSHIPS. Pick up a copy for less than a cup of coffee!

I have a new mini-comic releasing next month! It’s called SPAN, and it’s about Relationships (capital R). If there are any podcasts or review sites that would be interested in a copy, please drop me a line. My DMs are open! #ukcomics #comics #indiecomics

So... we're now at roughly a third of the followers we had at our peak on TwitterX. This link explains our very different approach to community-led comics coverage: www.brokenfrontier.com/introducing-... Help us build our audience back up by sharing this post. Thank you!

Decided we can't even do Twitter as a broadcast-only thing. Even auto posts via WP feel wrong now. Before Musk wrecked the place we were heading for 10,000 followers there. It's going to be a long time rebuilding here. If you like what we do in comics and can spread the word we'd so appreciate it!

This weekend, I finally got my hands on the @wipcomics.bsky.social yearly anthology and wanted to share with you how they came out! Book design by the talented @mike-armstrong.com and cover illustration by me. #indiecomics #comics #anthologies

Bill Watterson is one of my biggest inspirations, only trumped by the mighty Mignola. His line work is so full of life and character, it feels utterly spontaneous yet immaculately controlled. Jaw droppingly good!

Unbelievably, I still have a box of these under my bed. The perfect stocking filler, or gift for someone you only want to spend a couple of quid on!

If you see this, post something fantasy/DnD from your portfolio! I guess I can share the full thing now, as the anthology has been in the wild for over a year. This is my piece from “Change”, the 2023 @wipcomics.bsky.social anthology. Tried to push texture/detail with this one. Learned a lot.

I normally wouldn’t… but this was too good an opportunity. When (repeatedly) asked what they should work on next, my response was: SHUTTING DOWN.

The comic I’m working on has me _really_ thinking about colour in a way I haven’t before… it’s opened a door in my brain that I didn’t know was there

And one thing I’m really not going to miss is the insane conspiracy theories being given equal airtime to genuine current events.

While it sucks that I (along with other refugees from The Hellsite) have to start curating their follow lists from scratch, the good thing about it is that we can find a lot more cool people to interact with.

submitted 114 days ago • 0 comments

well, everybody, this is going to suck, but we’re going to follow the blueprint of every monster movie with a 2 in the title: take a little time to disbelieve that this is happening again, then use what we learned last time to fight hard, protect each other, and survive for as long as we can.

Working on my entry for this year’s Manga Jiman contest… no spoilers here, won’t be posting any more of this until the contest is over, but I am alive! And drawing!

I'm sorry, Bluesky. I've neglected you. But not today! Today I post some new artwork! This is Rose and Bee again, from the reboot of my LORE LIBRARY series that I'll be working on before the year is out. I hope.

Hey Bluesky #comics folks: I’d really love to illustrate some stuff for publication in kids’ comics (preferably in the UK!). Anyone know who I should be approaching? (More stuff at mike-armstrong.com/portfolio)
