Air travel has come a long way from the first passenger flights of the 1920s. Pressurised cabins (and toilets) were introduced in the 1930s. Jet engines were first used in the late 1950s which increased speed and range while reducing noise. In-flight movies (on 16mm film!) were introduced in the 1960s.

Sadly one thing that has not improved is the seating in economy class (or ‘coach class’ as it used to be called.) Passengers are wedged into almost gymnastic-level contortions in the quest for some shuteye.

I illustrated some of the best for @bytheway , the travel section of @washingtonpost . Check out all 18 via the link in By The Way’s bio.

Big thanks to to Kat @washingtonpostdesign , writer @natbco and Aubrey and the team @jackywinter !

This weekend I’ll be a guest at @ozcomiccon Sydney to help launch THE SUPER AUSTRALIANS — a full length graphic novel featuring 12 Australian superheroes with stories and locations almost as diverse as the writers and artists who created them.

The story I’ve illustrated takes place in my hometown of #canberra and has been a real labour of love for myself and writer Karen (@hivemindedness) with colourist Simon (@bastard_cut) adding the finishing touches with his beautiful hues 🎨

I’m super excited to finally share this book which — from all reports — was a huge success at OzCon Brisbane last weekend. For those who can’t make it to OzCon Sydney I’ll keep you updated with details about when it’ll be arriving in your local bookstore. I’ll also have copies at @impactcomics Festival in Canberra next Saturday, 5th October. Come along and say hi if you’re in town! ✍️📚📆

A peek into the world of the super rich for this month’s @afrmag and possibly the only time I’ll appear in a magazine about Australia’s wealthiest people ✍️🤔💸
Wonderful story by @laurenssams and a pleasure working with creative directer @timbeor and @mikaparow at @jackywinter.
