When I left art college (kicked out for the second time), I didn't draw again for almost 20 years. When I did pick up a pen, I soon realised I needed to draw regularly if I wanted to improve. So I decided I'd draw a Robot a Day for a month, which soon became a year…

I really fucking hate Generative AI. I mean, really fucking hate it. And everyone involved in it - making it, funding it, promoting it, using it - can just fuck the fuck off.
I need some spaceships in my feed today. If you’re drawing spaceships, reply with one of your favourites. If you just love spaceships, reply with an image of your favourite. Real or imagined.
I’ll start. Nebulon B Frigate / Rebel hospital ship from Star Wars.

This is the surface of a Comet, seen through a blizzard of dust, ice particles, and cosmic rays against a backdrop of stars. The alien landscape of Comet 67P as seen by the Rosetta spacecraft and animted by

Just signed a contract to do some work for a company that I've dreamed of working for. I imagine it'll be months before I can share anything, but I am very happy.
I’ve started designing an art book, after many stop-start attempts. It’s probably just going to be my Weird-Field sci fi stuff. So it will, obviously, be mainly sketches and illustrations of spaceships and other tech, but it will also include some background text.
Good idea?
Little sci-fi sketch. Hanging in the atmosphere of a gas giant, at that goldilocks altitude where temperature, pressure, and oxygen are all perfect for humans.

Little reminder that if you enjoy my scifi illustrations and spaceships, I now have a

page where I'll be developing my Weird-Field World of alien tech and strange spacecraft. You can support me, and get access to all my WF work for just $2/month
Just had some encouraging feedback from
@theaoi
regarding AI art.
They're working in conjunction with the Creators Rights Alliance and British Copyright Council to lobby the government to extend copyright protection to art from 'Text and Data Mining' online.

No.1. Here lives Captain Cat. All my illustrations this year will be buildings based on the characters and setting of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood.
I was rubbish when I started, and a year and 365 robot drawings later, I was a bit better - but not much. I still wasn't drawing much, apart from the robots.

Seems to need repeating - if you are sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, anti-trans, antivax, bigoted, anti gun control, or specifically pro Trump, UKIP, or white nationalism, - you can, and I absolutely mean this, fuck right off.
What’s your favourite cliched sci-fi visual? You know, it’s completely over-used, but you still love it?
I’ll go first - bloody great big moons and planets hanging in the sky with complete disregard for orbital mechanics and gravity. Love ‘em!

Well, it’s a big day (for me). It’s my fiftieth birthday. 50. How the hell…
How old do I feel? Still about 17.
How old do I look? Maybe mid 40s?
How old do my knees feel? 973.
Scribbling Star Destroyers. Haven’t looked at any ref for these so no idea how much they resemble the actual designs in any of the films. Couldn’t quite remember how the bridge bit worked.

Just had to say goodby to this absolute queen. Milly was 20, and was just the most beautiful, placid and affectionate cat. We’re going to miss her immeasurably.
Love you Mill x
Hopefully starting a nice new project nice week, but this seems like a good time to say I'm open for commissions.
Spaceships, weird places, buildings etc. DM me if you have an idea you'd like to discuss.
Stuff like this…
Five minute spaceship sketch. I’ve been working digitally a lot lately, so it’s nice to just scribble away in a tiny sketchbook.

Thought I might talk a bit about my Innsmouth project.
It started a couple of years ago, when I started to get the idea for a story to go with my tentacled island illustrations.

Added some colour to last week’s spaceship sketches. Bit of a Chris Foss thing going on here and there with the colour schemes, which is never a bad thing.
