The Must-Have Toy This Christmas

Multicoloured Bits of Plastic (2014) – I drew this poster as part of my Pocket Money Loans project and eventually turned it into a real toy. ⁠ ⁠ Posters and postcards of this are available from my website shop (link in bio) and I’m considering doing a run of the toys later in the year.⁠ ⁠ “From the movie of the TV show of the book of the board gamer of the rollercoaster of the ice cream”⁠ – that line was inspired by the fact that Pirates of the Caribbean was based on a ride at Disneyland and you can now buy novels based on a film that was based on a ride.⁠ ⁠ Available as a poster and as part of a postcard pack.

The Baffler

I’ve written an article for The Baffler about Pocket Money Loans and my motivations behind the project. “With austerity in the UK and elsewhere continuing to disembowel welfare programs, and with the neoliberal consensus forcing the state to retreat further from the spheres in which it once protected the less fortunate, it is left to the market to fill the gaps in social need. Payday loan companies have turned our safety net into the net of a fishing trawler, ensnaring those who struggle at the bottom and processing them into bone meal to feed an insatiable economy.” Read the full article at The Baffler. #PocketMoneyLoans

POCKET MONEY LOANS

Today I opened the Pocket Money Loans shop in Finsbury Park I’ve been working on for the last few months or a year or something I’m not sure.

There’ll be a closing exhibition evening next Friday the 7th from 6pm. Here’s the facebook event. #PocketMoneyLoans #Children

BELOW

Just a reminder that my new comic BELOW is out now. The story of a man sent into the pits of the Earth on a mission of zero importance. It’s just £4 from my shop. In some other mild news, I made the (very) longlists for the British Comic Awards in the Best Comic (for ‘Join the Army’) and Emerging Talent categories. So there. #Comics

CHATTING

Yesterday I had a chat-moment with Gary Lactus at the SILENCE! comics podcast about whatever it is I think I’ve been doing these last few years. My chat goes a bit rambling towards the end but apart from that, this is classic chatting. Here is the chat, captured inside a chat rectangle: You can get my new comic BELOW here. #Interview

NEW COMIC

Here’s the cover for my new comic BELOW, a bleak sci-fi comedy about mankind’s first subterranean space station. You can order it here. I’ve spent most of the month working on this so that’s why it’s been a bit quiet round here. Launching at Safari Comics Festival this Saturday in London where I’ll be doing a stall of my wares: https://www.facebook.com/events/255312464660716
