2008-06-04T09:32:22Z

So did anyone buy the Times today? If you did you might want to sneak a little peak at page 34 (the kids page) of the Times2 to see my FULL PAGE ILLUSTRATION THAT I DID FOR THE GOD DAMN TIMES. Cripes. EDIT: thanks to Kate for providing a link to...

Drinking Fluid Courage

Well the party was a lot of fun, and you will be relieved to hear there was free food and wine (although the savouries had all gone by the time I got there, so I ended up eating about a hundred pieces of cake in an attempt to stop myself getting t...

who needs sleep anyway?

2008-04-16T12:50:11Z

Ok, I think things are close enough to fruition to reveal what's going on - the project I'm working on (which you can see a snippet of a few entries back) is for a new children's comic called the DFC, which is launching at the end of May. I've spe...

Well I've got 3/4 of the first episode pencilled, which is not really on schedule exactly, but at least it means I am approaching the fabled 'zone'. Soon unstoppable drawing power shall be mine! Plus I would have done more, but I went to a questi...

Motivation Blues

2008-01-14T12:07:56Z

As deadlines for the super secret comic project loom I am finding it hard to actually sit down and concentrate on getting it done. I'll get home and think to myself, 'oh I'll just check my email / flip on the TV / read this comic I have read 10 ti...

Ho ho ho!

2007-12-18T13:58:20Z

It's good to see all the local businesses getting into the restive spirit around here - why, even the brothel behind my office has a light-up Santa face in the window. Festive!

Productivity

2007-11-11T02:38:48Z

Ok, after spending all day in bed I finally decided to get up and do something productive and redrew the neurosurgery shirt design from scratch: I think this one has a lot more potential - what do you folks think?

Virgin Whines

2007-11-02T12:41:25Z

I have periodically been getting requests to join Virgin Wines in my inbox, each with an offer more generous than the last (first case half price, and comes with a free corkscrew made of diamonds that can predict the future!) and usually they just...
