Have you seen the Magnus Archives? Kind of a monster of the week format, chronicling a different case for an organisation each episode but with a story developing between the staff in the background. Evolves into something excellent.

3 of the visible drawings here are by me - See if you can spot which.
Also... THAT'S RIGHT! I went out and did art with people! I left the house! The people were nice! I ate some Haribo!

🎨 #ENGELBAUM #art upload master-post. I'll be adding my finished #comic pages to this thread regularly. So please enjoy my life project as it unfolds. Shares deeply appreciated. Recommended for ages 18+ due to occasional adult themes.

🌈🧵A love letter to all creatives and dreamers - Engelbaum.

Front cover of my comic, Engelbaum.
The large white text at the bottom reads "Engelbaum by Lynne Triplett". The white text the the top reads "Creativity ties us."

A very colorful image with bright greens, blues and orange sunset skies. In the foreground my main character Imagni ( a tall smiling white skinned creature with long yellow hair and curled demon horns) swings around happily with her arms in the air creating art. Behind her, her giant inky skeleton Flow self holds out her hands to embrace her smaller self in the foreground protectively while smiling.
In the distant background is Meio Dia (the same species of creature as Imagni but with tall white upright horns and pale green hair swept over one eye) on the left she is lit up by her neon green Flow soundwave bars.

And finally on the top right we have Argand (same species but much larger and muscular under a long flowing cloak and old draped fabrics) with her arms folded looking grumpy and not wanting to be a part of the picture.

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants

I've said this before but it's still true....Starmer's Labour's job was to destroy the left. They've made them powerless within Labour. Mission accomplished. So it doesn't matter to them if they lose to the right. There's a way of showing them the left isn't dead outside the party.

My dear friend Thalia ( @swirlymuse.bsky.social ) sadly passed away early last month.

Her parents have asked me to say thank you everyone for your friendship to her over the years.

She was the kindest and best friend I could have ever asked for, and I will miss her dearly.

A picture I drew for my friend's parents, to celebrate her. It has a central ammonite fossil, surrounded by ferns, pencils, a sonic keychain, a beetle, a magpie feather and a cat paw. This is the unfinished version, the finished one is with her parents.
