Graphic designer/illustrator. Little time to do personal projects, big mind storage to keep waiting for their time to come. Certain affinity to robots huge tendency to animism. I value weird stuff, lateral thinking. Allergic to soccer.

My latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books.
p.s. I have a new book of cartoons out soon: www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2

Panel One:
A woman sits in a chair reading happily in a book-filled room.
A voice offstage says
"You can't survive on books alone"
The woman replies
"Maybe I can!"

Panel Two:
"How?" asks the voice
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure the answer will be in one of my books." Says the woman

Panel Three:
Caption: However
The book is filled with yet more books.
A skull sits on the chair. It says
"I regret nothing!"

Future archaeology. What use would the humans give to this? This is a revisited character of mine. Slightly altered. 8132 brush strokes and 9.5 hours of work. Very satisfied (unusual) #illustration #painting #mastoart #mastodonart #digitalpaint #procreate #robot #spider #scifi #digitalart

illustration of a robotic spider looking at a traffic light on top of a grass covered hill under a dark clouded sky. The spider hold a notebook where is taking notes about the traffic light which has the red one on. The abdomen of the spider has a giant green glass dome, with clockwork mechanisms inside. The body is blue and purple. Floating over is a green eyed orb, which acts as a companion. The traffic light is very battered, as a forgotten relic. The head of the spider glows red and green from the light from the traffic light and the orb.

my HORRIFYING cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books

Title: Modern Folk horrors of the British Isles

Five images of various characters:

A coven of murderous witches...
Who play loud youtube videos on public transport.

An ancient malevolent demon...
With a three-hour podcast interviewing entrepreneurs.

A flock of bloodthirsty ravens...
Who think absolutely everything is "Woke".

A primordial shambling beast...
Wearing a "Make albion great again" baseball cap.

A mob of satanic villagers...
Who give bad reviews to books they haven't read.

This is done! Had fun. Was quick and lousy and ended well. I did it with no expectations just to wander on art land. What will the next page bring? Stay tuned. I have no idea. #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #robot #markers #ink #mastoart #HandDrawing

Photo of an open sketchbook with a couple of pens over. The right page has a illustration of a group of colourful robots on diverse shapes and styles. They are fun and positive. Except to the omnipresent big red eye with hanging cables looming from the top. That one is ominous.

Black blocking makes a difference. All comes alive. Running out of space. #illustration #drawing #sketch #doodle #sketchbook #mastoart #wip #WorkInProgress #robot

Photo of my hand inking over a sketchbook page, with a drawing of a lot of robots of different shapes and styles.

Daniel Gibert @danielgibert.bsky.social · Mar 23

Fun ahead! Don’t ask what the next #robot is gonna be. I have no clue. Inventing it on the go. #illustration #drawing #doodle #sketch #sketchbook #mastoart #wip

Photo os a page from a sketchbook showing a halfway done illustration of a lot of robots of different shapes, some more industrial, some more anthropomorphic but in general all relatively cute.

Yup. Definitely having fun. Nonsensical freestyle doodling is the best. #illustration #drawing #sketch #doodle #sketchbook #mastoart #mastodonart #handdrawing

Photo of a page from a sketchbook with three drawings of robots. One waving a hand, another carrying a crate of oranges and a third with a transparent green head dome showing clockwork mechanisms inside.

I’ve been on the art store this morning and bought a couple of smal sketchbooks. I’m gonna fill them with dense #doodles, one theme per page. No pencil, no planning. Just direct ink to experiment. Of course, first one is about #robots. #mastoart #drawing #sketchbook #handdrawing #illustration

Photo of a hand with an ink pen drawing a robot on a smal sketchbook’s page corner. Robot is waving a hand and has a single eye piece.

I’m super tired. I’ve only slept 2 hours. So after lunch I have made my own Nego game set, designed in #Affinity Designer and glued on foam board with double sided tape. An hour of relax to confront the afternoon. Now I must resume work.
I know. I don’t make much sense of myself.

Photo of a hand made Nego game set with the board and the different cat pieces, with multiple dark and light cats in different poses.

I love Wired's Tech support videos, but I think this is the most important of the most recently ones they made. And yes, it could make you feel bad and upset, but you need to feel bad and upset to prevente becoming numb and defeated.

Some #robot heads. I usually #doodle a lot while working on any pice of paper at hand. Most of this ends on the paper basket after a spring cleaning. Just mind cleansing. #pencil #drawing #sketch Not really #MarchOfRobots

A piece of paper with se en robot heads doodles. They come in different shapes and have a curious cute expression despite being mostly an eye with a metal casing. A mechanical pencil is on top of the paper.

More food cartoon violence. Alicia asked me to bring her an orange for dessert and could not resist.

Photo or an orange with a cartoon face painted on it. It is half cut by a knife so the face mimics a half deadly expression. Tonge hanging out. Painted blood coming from the cut. All very cartoonish and silly.

Daniel Gibert @danielgibert.bsky.social · Mar 2

A very old one. Food cartoon violence. Yes. Sometimes I’m very goofy. I do this kind of things and wait until someone opens the fridge or a drawer… the comments gro from “such a clown” to “what an idiot” and other variations of lovely epithets. And laughs.

Photo of a blister of eggs. One of them has a screaming shocked cartoon face painted on it as I if it was scared from the person opening the fridge.

A sequence of photos of someone grabbing an egg with a screaming face painted on it. Later we see it being broken in half and finally the two parts of the shell still screaming in agony.

Daniel Gibert @danielgibert.bsky.social · Feb 28

Alicia and I made a #bird fededer. Well. We decorated it. It was plain cheap pine. Now it hangs at our #cat colony. I love to do things and crafts and handy things together.

Photo or a bird feeder in the shape of a little turquoise house, with a classical window with pink courtains and a cat peeking outside (the window is made of wood and the rest is painted on the facade). It has a little hanging lantern (made with earrings pieces) and the number 9 on the facade (made with an old typewriter key) also at a side of the carafe is a vase with some plants (a wood pendant with some dry flowers in it)

Daniel Gibert @danielgibert.bsky.social · Feb 24

It been year and a half since I draw anything on the “codex” #sketchbook and so far this are the 2 only drawings in it. I think it is about time to continue #drawing on it. Half way grimoire half way mad Da Vinci’s. codex. My own Codex Seraphinianus? Or just a mind distraction? #illustration

A page of a sketchbook. A wooden robot emerges from a hole in the floor. Only the eye rims and a dial are of metal. And both have yellow light from them. Handwritten notes on both sides of the drawing in a secret calligraphy. Over the page is a Lego robot lady minifigure watching the illustration.

Another page of the same sketchbook. Drawing of a medieval house in a cut-out style showing the inners of the building frame and how the walls are made. Inside the house sits a giant stone troll with hands on the knees and smiling. Bluish lichens growing on the shoulders. Is so tall that the head goes up to the second story through the floor. Near the house is text in a secret calligraphy. Over the page there is a Lego robot lady minifig holding a fine point marker.
