Some Stuff What I Done

Hello there,

Here's some news about to what I've been up to lately.

Richard Cowdry (see Love the Line in the links bar at the bottom of this page) and in have been working on a weekly comic strip. It's called 'Somersault' and the kind people at Forbidden Planet International have seen fit to publish it on their blog every Tuesday.



















Here's the link: http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2009/07/turning-somersaults/


For the past few weeks my work has been serialized over at Blurred Books (www.blurredbooks.com) by the charming Kevin Mutch (you can see his own nice comics on the same site, as well as a couple of bits by the fabulous Mr O'Connell) I'm really excited about being part of this project, they've had some great work there in the past and it's cool to make my own humble contribution.













This one's a little late in the reporting, but here it is none the less; I have this illustration in the current edition of Electric Sheep Magazine (www.electricsheepmagazine.co.uk).























I highly recommend this publication to those of you who love films. The thing is lavishly illustrated and full to the brim with intelligent articles.


And finally I had a couple of books for sale at the Tokyo Zine's Mate last month. I couldn't go but having seen the photo's since I really wish I'd just sold a kidney or something to afford the air fair. It looks as though it was really nicely staged and full of interesting work.

Banal Pig Landscape Anthology

Hi there,

The Lovely Steve at Banal Pig has given me the heads up on where to get hold of copies of the brilliant Landscape anthology he's published. It includes work by lots of great artists including a really good piece by my friend Paul O'connell of Sound of Drowning fame. Go get yo' selfs a copy now!

Aliens, Ghosts and Real Scarey Stuff!

Why hello there,

Here's a couple of stories I did for two fine projects earlier this year. The first was made for Steve Tillotson's excellent The Banal Pig Landscape Anthology (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=26232860).

And the second strip was made for the Polish anthology New British Comics.

Green Sea Days

Hi There,

I'm sorry for the lack of postings of late. The truth is that I've been really busy working on new projects. So in a little bit I'll have lots of news for you, and lots of new things to point at and show you.

For the time being I thought I'd publish the content of the strange but beautiful little project I completed earlier this year with Paul O'Connell, Green sea Days. Paul and I are almost out of the toblerone/scroll bound comics we made this into so we agreed that its time to put it on the net. I hope you enjoy it. If you would like to purchase a paper copy I still have a couple and would be more than happy to post one of them off to you.

A Fair to Remember

What a great day the Alternative Press Fair was!

In the picture above, from left to right; Leon Sadler (find his stuff in the links at the bottom of the page under Famicon Express), Me, and Hannah Glickstein of Skinny Bill fame.

Lots of books were sold to lots of lovely people, and nice conversations were had. My hat off to the very organized and charming Peter Lally, Jimi Gherkin and Rich Cowdry.

I only wish I had known in advance about the snow storm; I would never have rushed off home and instead stayed to enjoy the evening fun. Oh well, at least during the three hour car journey home I had the famous Dr Parson's (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=26649732), the celebratic (I think that's a new word I've invented to mean, 'to have celebrity') Sean Duffield (www.dirtysquatters.com/papertiger/), the soon to be famous Hannah Eaton, and the lovely Jaz to keep me company.
