Hey guys, thought I'd take a wee break from my social media hiatus to say hello, & introduce myself to some of you new Bluesky followers.

I'm Craig, a comic artist and illustrator from Scotland. I'm mostly known for my work on cyberpunk comic Killtopia.

Looking forward to more Blueskying fun.💙

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

All Facebook groups for amateur artists have, in the past year or so, become pretty much exclusively 'AI art argument groups'.
Normally these groups would be for beginners to learn techniques and network, but now it's just all clowns spamming AI slop and trying to defend it as their own work.

Fun little poster project, and an excuse to make a story on the side. Goofy Conan the Barbarian with a lot of ducks, blood and sensitive emotional villains.

I'm just guessing, but, I have the feeling that the new Harry Potter reboot show is going to cast a black kid as Harry Potter, which will allow them to label any boycott or backlash against the show as purely racially motivated.
"If you hate JK Rowling you must be a racist." etc.

If someone in comics has expressed or shared transphobic views don't work with them, don't review or cover them, don't buy their comics, don't give them a platform, don't table them, don't publish them, don't go on their podcast, don't support them in any way. Just... don't.

ARTIST CALL. If you do comic book interiors, link your portfolio below. I'm looking for a couple of people available to do short stories over the next few months.
If you're not available but might be looking for work later, please drop your portfolio anyway and let me know when you'd be free.

Star Trek Section 31 was abysmal.
Odd how Star Wars is able to have multiple shows, movies and spinoff while maintaining consistent lore, canon and style, whereas each new Star Trek thing has to reinvent the wheel and depart from what has been established.
Maybe Disney should buy Star Trek too.

I painted this wee portrait of Michelle Trachtenberg about 15 years ago.
Was very sad to hear of her passing yesterday.
