I have no idea who has said what but thank you to you and to all the sudden new followers. I will do my best to make it worth your while and will be going back to full time art stuff in the coming months. Meanwhile, here’s some of what I do…

MOAR PREDECEMBERERER!

Head-canon has these dudes being the original "best worst enemies"... at least, the ones that decided to muck around with the #Alien genome. Alien vs Predator is actually Engineers vs Predator. Tell me that shit doesn't rule...

Incredibly stoked with how this last issue has turned out. I don’t know how many of you have caught the news about how this thing has been selling but I can promise you this last issue is an absolute belter and I don’t think I have been prouder of a book.
Just done the lettering pass on Event Horizon : Dark Descent #5 - @tristansbones.bsky.social has done an incredible job!
FOC is next Monday !

Predecember bullshit rolls on!

The "Snake" Predator from Predator 2.

Just give me a #Predator #comic. Give me an #Alien Versus Predator comic. Give me #TMNT vs Predator. I had a RAD one cooking at Dark Horse before Disney pulled the license from them...

This is my first day of not really being beholden to a deadline (though I do have a couple of cover #illustrations in the works for some rad stuff...!), so what better way to celebrate than with a new #Alien / #Predator related #illustration?

I've got enough room for maybe two or three commissions to see me through for a while. If you're interested, now's the time. I'll be closing these off at the end of the week regardless of whether the spots are filled...

Deadly serious, despite appearances. If anyone genuinely wants something I need to lock it in before the week is up or it’s game over until I dunno when

I've just handed in the last page for Event Horizon and #5's an absolute belter. Real honour to be back doing all this. I'll be talking about it all more with @oblivionbarpodcast.com soon, too, so take a gander and we'll circle back soon!
We ask @tristansbones.bsky.social comics writer and artist about his most pivotal comics and how he got into the industry!

Want to see his terrifying artwork? Grab Event Horizon: Dark Descent is at comic shops.

Predecember rolls on! As do my extremely real and very legitimate takes on Predator 2. Today, you will accept that Predator 2 is the third best movie in the Alien franchise, behind Alien and Alien 3.

Also…

Important fyi: I only respect people who like Predator 2.

Some maniacs suggested following Xenovember with Predecember, but we're already five days in and I have a different space horror to [redacted]. Anyway, sure why not have some.

If Netflix buys WB you can say goodbye to any of that material coming to disc again unless a deal is hammered out, which feels unlikely. Time to stock up on those blu-rays…

Man, the follow to follower ratio on some accounts here is fucking wild... How are you supposed to take someone that follows 134k accounts remotely seriously?

I noticed you all dig the Alien art so much I figured I'd dig out more. This's a commission piece that I started during the pandemic but never got a chance to finish before having to start moving house.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I took...

Reposting this because I'm actually super fucking proud of it. After a month of posting old Alien art, I drew a new one based on a design I didn't think I liked, and you know what...? I think it might actually be my favourite Alien drawing to date.
The final piece for Xenovember! 30 days of the #xenomorph, and to celebrate, I figured I'd round it out with something I've never really given proper dues to...
