I have a sale on my online shop, with up to 50% off for a limited period of time! Comics, books and original art are on sale. The United is a British superhero comic, with a weird horror vibe. It started as a love-letter to Alan Davis' Captain Britain and morphed into something like a Vertigo comic.

Reposting art I like. Donald Teague, "Couple on Rocks". 1942. LOVE this painting. Mesmerised by the bold dynamic framing and limited colour palette. It can appear as a captured moment [waves crashing in the background] but also be seen as timeless. The light on her face... perfect.

"Oh this is awful, I wish I was dead." Post-It Note art, ink, markers and pencils.

Illustration. A pale smaller man on the left grins manically and puts his hand on the chest of the larger man on the right who is extremely hairy and has a massive forehead. Carry On films, love them or loathe them they where certainly a product of their time. When I was a kid they where repeated ad nauseam on TV and it was easy to pick through the ones that actually had something to them other than the repetitive 'saucy postcard' humour. And one of the best would be Carry On Screaming from 1966 which as you would guess was a parody of the horror film genre made popular in cinema by Hammer Films and the like. Kenneth Williams plays Dr Orlando Watt (they even make a Dr Who joke about him being a cousin) and he is assisted by his menacing creation Oddbod. And speaking of Dr Who the film also features Jon Pertwee in a small role as a police doctor who accidentally grows a new monster called Oddbod Jnr who I've drawn beside Dr Watt.

I’m away to London soon so I’ll post something around then & I’ll continue to promote my Woman in Black prints: nicktankard.co.uk

A black and white illustration of a woman stood staring directly at us, she doesn’t look happy, far from it. She wares a black Victorian funeral dress, her arms hang at her side. She is standing amongst headstones in a crumbling cemetery, the ruins of an old abbey behind her. Weak winter sunlight glints off water, a streaky grey sky above her. Bleak, creepy and atmospheric. Black fine line pen and rolled black ink.

Star Trek: The Original Series A to Z. I is for Iotians. Down on Sigma Iotia II it is eternally the 1920's of Chicago and so being it is ruled by ruthless gangsters. 'A piece of the action' sees Kirk and Spock mixed up with rival mob gangs. All lovely nonsense.

Star Trek: The Original Series A to Z. F is for Flying Parasites. The last story of season one was 'Operation -- Annihilate!' and is a classic one species of alien using the bodies of others as hosts story. This really stuck in my head as a kid, it might even have been the first episode I saw.

Star Trek: The Original Series A to Z. E is for Excalbians. Yarnek (a living rock with claws) contemplates good/evil and has a competition between two groups to help consider the matter. 'The Savage Curtain' features Abe Lincoln and Genghis Khan among others so it also ticks the 'what the?' box.

Star Trek: The Original Series A to Z. C is for Cheron. There is civil war on the planet Cheron & Lokai is being chased by Bele for masterminding the revolt. The two sides of the argument don't match much like the two sides of their faces in the 3rd series story 'Let that be your Last Battlefield'.

Star Trek: The Original Series A to Z. B is for Balok. Appearing in 'The Corbomite Manoeuvre' from the first series. All was not as it seemed in this adventure and the mysterious and frightening alien Balok ended up being a rather obnoxious child like being played by a seven year old Clint Howard.

STORMBRINGER (1977) Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5

Standing atop ruins at the end of the world, an anguished Elric thrusts the runeblade Stormbringer to the heavens. The sky behind him roils with clouds rendered in acidic green. The chainmail on his right arm is torn. He wears a yellow tunic and belts strapped across his waist and chest crusted with jewels. His purple and black cloak billows in the wind. From a leather cord, he holds an ivory horn with ornate swirls of gold. The ruins he stands upon are crumbling, including the face of a skull that is missing a chunk of forehead and part of the orbital. The mouth isn't human given the fangs in its mouth and the horns protruding off the side of the head that is intact. Off to the side, a pterosaur-like creature perches with wings spread.

Just FYI.

Screenshot of an NHS notice about the Emergency Alert being sent to all mobile phones this Sunday. “On the 7 September 2025 at 3pm, the government will be testing the emergency alert system to activate phones and tablets with a loud alert. If you have one hidden from an abusive partner, switch it off. It will alert even if it's on silent or disconnected from data and wifi. How to opt out of emergency alerts: Android • Open the settings app • Search 'emergency alerts' • Select emergency alerts and from here you can turn them off • Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey, this means they are switched off. iPhone • Open the settings app • Tap on notifications • Scroll to the bottom of the page. There'll be an emergency alert section • Tap the toggles on the right. If they are grey, this means they are switched off”
