'Gin Palace 2' Review

Here's a new review of 'Gin Palace 2' from the Forbidden Planet blog.

Where I Make My Plans

Here I am making my comics plans for 2011. Wa ha ha ha.

A Nice Day Out

Look, nice blue sky! Haven't seen that for a long time. We went to Malham and had a very nice walk yesterday.

John Robbins - Mortal Tedium

John Robbins has just brought out an excellent collection of seven of his recent short stories. It's a really good read, and holds together very well as a collection. The story from 'Gin Palace 2' is in it but it's well worth getting even if you already have that story, it's only one out of seven after all. His website is here and you will be able to buy the comic from Blackshapes here. They aren't on the site yet so you would just have to ask for a copy. Highly recommended!

New Improved Back Cover for 'The Gods Must Be Bastards'

Endless Scanning

I've just spent ages scanning in all the pages of 'The Gods Must Be Bastards'. Here's a page I'm happy with. The next boring task is to clean them all up. Then its off to the printers in time for the London Small Press and Comics event in March.

News

I've been doing a bunch of drawing this year so far. Here's a character from the story I'm doing for the next Comical Animal. That will be out in February. Also I've done a story that'll hopefully be in Simon M's anthology 'The Sorry Entertainer'. And a few more pages of 'Gas Giant', that's going to end up as a long comic. What I really need to do is scan all the pages of 'The Gods Must Be Bastards' and clean them all up so I can get it printed at last. I'll get on to that soon.
