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...

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...

SCIENCE

Yesterday I went to a science talk about ampakines (yes, I go to science talks in my spare time. I am that cool), and it was really interesting in an intensely creepy sort of way. See ampakines are smart drugs, that is, drugs that make you smarter...

Feeedback

nobody@vox.com(eruditebaboon) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:05:09 +0000

Last week I got my first editorial feedback on the two rough strips I have sent to the publisher - my first feedback as a (sort of) professional comic creator! Ooh! The verdict: 'you have to do these again'. Ok, so it wasn't as bad as all that - ...

The Seat of Government

nobody@vox.com(eruditebaboon) — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:00:55 +0000

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

nobody@vox.com(eruditebaboon) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:07:56 +0000

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...

Productivity

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

nobody@vox.com(eruditebaboon) — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:41:25 +0000

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...
