“… he does not know how.”

12/5/2026

Created 12 May 2026.

Finally illustrated an image that came to me when I was reading through the beginning of Mark's Gospel* in the past month or more. (*New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition.)

It has been quite a while since I last illustrated a verse from the bible.

Rakuran 3

21/4/2026

“Rakuran. Rakuran san-sei.”

Portraits of some friends in the style of a known Japanese cartoon that I’m never likely to watch beyond random clips of it online.

Why did I do it? Because it was a goofy idea that sparked joy in me, and I wanted to make it happen.

Bishop Stumbers: Phone It In (Home)

9/4/2026

And the cartoon's inspiration. (Photo: Unknown, 2026)

A silly, non sequitur cartoon about Bishop Stumbers subbing in for an Amblin Entertainment employee based on a friend's birthday visit to Madame Tussauds in Sydney last month.

It took me a lot of tries to end up with the final felt-pen inkwork yesterday followed by spending the night adding the colour digitally on the computer. Then I gave it a few final, finishing tweaks this morning.

Comic + some news

31/10/2025

A brief explainer on what is Holy Wins/Holywins can be found in this Catholic News Agency article here and, yes, the Bishop now has a live-in/pet(?) dinosaur called Hotspur.

Months, more months, and Saints! (Photo: by Author)

And in other news—after having the thought of it gnawing at the back of my brain for what felt like half the year—I finally began preparing Month–pages for a 2026 Calendar on Sunday, 26 October 2025. Hooray!

Photographs for each month are currently still in the selection phase. Yes, photographs.

This upcoming calendar will be a collection of images of the different places that I visited in 2025. And because of all the effort that I poured into trying to pull together Jubilee Year 2025 grassroots–young adult pilgrimages to the Shrines of Hope in my diocese left me both mentally, physically and emotionally drained, such that I have had no impetus to do anything artistic whatsoever for the majority of 2025.
Save for the painting of St Clare of Assisi back in July, of course. Which is why the comic at the top of this blog post, for me, is a significant win.

I will endeavour to keep you all informed about further 2026 Calendar developments when they are worthy of promulgation.

A happy and holy Hallowtide to you all folks!

Congratulations to anyone who “gets” the cameo appearances on the far side table ;)

Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order

1/3/2023

Artwork created 17–19 Feb 2023.

The Servite Founders were seven rich men (possibly cloth merchants) of Florence, Italy, who all experienced the same vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the feast of the Assumption in 1233 and gave them this message:
