Hi #portfolioday I’m Tom. I’m a comic artist, illustrator and writer based in Edinburgh. I make poetry comics, non-fiction comics, and I like to write illustrated essays about the intersection of pop culture and politics. I’m writing my 2nd graphic novel and would love to do more covers.

An illustrated montage of various pop cultural icons (Robocop, Darth Vader, Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers etc.) for a spread in La Septième Obsession. The colours are made up of halftone dots, giving it a pop art, vintage magazine aesthetic. An illustration of Robert Downey Jr and Jake Gyllenhaal in the film Zodiac. Faded yellow and brown colours, and the vintage font give it a 1970s look - in keeping with the film. An illustration for Current Affairs magazine about the author’s visit to the West Bank and how it compared to Ta Nahesi-Coates’ experience as detailed in his book The Message. Central to the image is a Polaroid of a happy tourist group visiting Jerusalem in full colour. Around that, we see, in greyscale, the apartheid reality. An illustrated image of Michael Moore - now and then - for a profile piece in Current Affairs magazine. Colours are a mix of reds and blues to evoke the American flag.

No surprise re Billy Idol tbh. The surprise (then) was John Lydon, who is a complete sell out now, of course.George Clooney,though... someone who,like Bono,lives off his morality-but advertising one of the most dangerous & boycotted corporations in the world. Great video. youtube.com/watch?v=anJE...

If you are anti Trans and we've followed you by mistake, block the fuck out of us, because we'll make sure you are thrown off this platform.

JUST IN: Every boo that followed Vance and Hegseth at Union Station was earned. You send troops into American streets, you lose the right to walk them without shame.

I stand with state Rep. Nicole Collier and other Texas Democrats on the front lines of protecting American democracy. In a free country, state lawmakers don't get held hostage by the opposition. Texas Dems believe America should still be a free country. Do Republicans?

My son in DC right now says the restaurants and businesses are empty, that it looks like a ghost town bc no one is going out, so Trump declaring that businesses & restaurants are booming bc of him making DC safe is complete bullshit as usual. Hospitality in DC is down 25% since his fascist invasion!
