Got around to framing up this awesome @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social Transformers piece that I commissioned a while back, Steve’s been involved in two of my childhood passions via Transformers and Dinosaurs, so it’s a real honour to have original art by a legend in the industry. Such a talent!

Black and white artwork of several transforming robots combined into a single gestalt entity, above them are planes flying and explosions and debris is everywhere

Just need to sort out the chest labels, touch up a few bits and then apply some varnish. Then Marvel G2 Hot Rod is done. #maccadam

Can't believe Ted made it to DG after all these years. That's the long game.

I'm cock-a-hoop that this exists and that they're really going outside the box with stuff.

I'm equally ecstatic when such things are 'Not For Me' and I can silence the monkey on my back for a while longer.

Really really hate this, Felipe. I'm so sorry to hear you being undervalued like this.

This continues to suck.

Felipe Sobreiro @sobreiro.bsky.social · 2d

The first graphic novel I ever drew just had a release party at NYCC and I wasn’t invited. Months ago I asked the publisher if they were going to attend the con and they said they had no plans. Then like 3 weeks ago they asked if I was going, they were doing an event.

(Cue that famous Kirby quote)

Two of my favourite ghoulish images from the original Marvel UK Transformers run. The post-Underbase afflicted Starscream, originally drawn by Andrew Wildman, and Nightmare Soundwave (DRILLFINGERS!) that Will Simpson cooked up.

These (AND MORE!) for €40 each on my store! nickrocheart.bigcartel.com
