Australo-American. Grumpy rabble rouser. Co-created 30 Days of Night, you know, that became that film. Writer, artist, cephalopod, cat & horror enthusiast. Annoyingly for you, still here.

Gone a bit far up its own arse I’d say.

I’ll be making a very special SDCC appearance… thousands of miles away at a con with an artist alley probably double the size of the San Diego show, at exactly the same time. Galaxy Con Raleigh! ( but I will be in San Diego Tuesday, if anyone is coming in early! )

Wishing a Very Happy 84th Birthday to Sir Patrick Stewart! Hope you have a joyous one ❤️

I have now had the tables turned on the cat butts. Fairs fair I guess.

I’m pretty forgiving of “social crimes” as the world will always have assholes & they can learn the error of their ways. But sexual assault is serious & criminal. Jesus Christ, I don’t know what to think about the Gaiman stuff I just read. Already seen threats of violence against him on bluesky.

I’m told this flag annoys libertarians.

The bitter & bile of this place that’s meant to be “better” than Twitter still amazes me. Yet still I persist. A bit.

When people ask me to doodle on them so they can go get it tattooed the next day.

Good morning! There's 4 days left to find my LOS OJOS graphic novel, and we only need $1,000 more to make it happen! That's like 20 people! Can you share the link and help make it happen? #comics #indiecomics zoop.gg/c/losojos

Los Ojoszoop.gg Andres Sanchez is a hitman for hire with a special ability - when he looks people in los ojos (the eyes) he doesn’t see them as human, he sees them as angels or demons. He believes demons walk among u...

Are we sure Boeing didn’t just build the engine up to their usual standards?

This is what should make you a “bad person” in comics, just as much as who you sleep withor DM, or be a drunk idiot ( which you should also be forgiven for & move on from eventually if not crime committed ) But this gets a free pass from editors & the gossip class of crusaders. We can do better.

Free art at Heroes con. Always consensual, always. You can’t blame them for these terrible life decisions though!

Remarkably, I’m not banned from HeroesCon yet. It must be because they don’t listen to the chattering class on bluesky yet! (I’m sure I eat babies, just not in front of people anymore.) I’ll be at C-AA 216 (it’s own area around the corner from main artist alley!) See me or avoid me! Your choice!

Going to start an Onlyfans one day, & just show closeups of my creases. That’s my elbow.

I can’t ever say I’m pro cannibalism, but I definitely can’t say I’m anti cannibalism. Just you wait til the food supplies run out & see how *you* feel on the issue, & how tender your friends look. Trust me.

Still out here, annoyingly to some very boring people, getting consent to do these things, from awesome people.

Tedious people are very tedious.
