Onslaught was a good watch. Heavily in debt to 1980's John Carpenter and grind house weirdness.

I enjoyed Mike Flanagan's version of Carrie. Teenage telekinesis was an ambition of mine.

Always something special when Vincent Perriot drops one of his videodraws over on YouTube... m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4eH...

Depressed at the Cara scrapping/hack. This world for common people has changed for the worse since the 'Tech bros' appeared on the scene. My illustration work is cursed so I can only hope that that curse finds its way back to the thieving c*ck juggling thunder c*nts! #TaxTheRich and then eat them.

I have enjoyed playing with Krita recently. It has a good set of brushes for sketching. I like it and it reminds me of a simpler time with drawing software. What PhotoShop did decades earlier with colour and painting, Krita is doing opening me up to using texture.

WIP. Panel without words. Totally out of context but I like it. Drawn in Krita and Affinity 3.0

Thanks to @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social I fell into watching The Sentinals. Fantastic stuff. Love the augmented soldier designs. Made notes. I found the original Bande Dessinée albums on Archive.org and the Enrique Breccia art work has a feint Kev O'Neil look about it.

Ah. This was the file I was looking for... Cirrus Uncinus, are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds that resemble a horse's tail. In lew of not drawering anything new I am thinking of collecting my series of dream comics and stories into a Pdf download.

Some old film 'sketch' pages (from 2017) I found on a hard drive whilst looking for something else entirely. Per Aspera Ad Astra (1981 Russian film). Dip pen and ink and water/digital colour. I drew the inky bits as I watched and coloured/lettered and arranged afterwards.

Hot and uncomfortable. Chuffin' Billy zip tied into a Martian war machine.

I found some of my old markers from when I was doing a Graphic Design course, about 40 years ago. They still work, kind of, coloured in some doodles from my sketchbook. Not sure about the toxicity levels but hey, 'squeakers' are good fun to use.

Film sketch. Scene while buffering. La Espera/The Wait 2023. 1970's Andalusian land owner bribes a hunt organiser with fatal consequences. Bleak stuff but beautifully shot.

Inkering another page.

Monday sketchbook. Parallel pens. Colour inks.

My drawing has been black and white of late, thought I'd get a bit of colour practice on this panel. Over on my blog I think about using Ai to help me colour. Do I regret it? johnweldingdraws.blogspot.com/2026/03/usin...

Designing a little character in the latest Chuffin' Billy comic strip. The angry little left overs that are Chuffin' Willy.

'Jones goes for a walk'. Drawing from February 2015. I thought this was lost long ago. Found it tucked away while looking for something else in the sketchbook graveyard.

WIP Back working in the real world with brush pen on A3 paper.

Watching the excellent Catweazle season 1 on YouTube. Kids and magic TV series from 1970.

Chancellor Reeves November pre budget speech. Why does it all sound so familiar?
