Small Comics Bundle

 Wondering whether to try my comics? Have you not bought any for a while and need to catch up? Like a bargain? I'm doing a small comics bundle of my last four smaller comics till the end of May. 

 You get 'Like & Subscribe', 'Crowthorn', 'Hollywood on the Croal' and 'Silent Planet' for just £8.50 and then £1.50 postage in the UK so £10 all in. It is a nice deal I think. Thanks! 

 Here's the link to my shop. 

Writing Sunderland Point

 I am writing and re-writing my Sunderland Point for the rest of the month and next month. Here's a page so you can have a look, might not be the finished version. It gets slower as I get through the pages as I wrote a lot more at the start on the first draft.

 

Little Holiday in Ayr

 We went for a little holiday in Ayr in a caravan with my Dad. Luckily the weather just changed when we went so it was nice and sunny most of the time. I'm back now and next week I'll try and get back to writing the Sunderland Point comic. Here's some of the best photos I took, mainly of the little ruined castles. We went to the very good fishmongers in Ayr and bought scallops and lemon sole and cooked them in our caravan. 

 

Sunderland Point - Last Drawing

 Here's the last drawing from my Sunderland Point comic. It will be page forty. I've done the first draft of the writing but it needs more work and more words.

Layout of My Sunderland Point Comic

 I worked out the layout of my Sunderland Point comic on Monday. It will be forty pages long. Here are some photos of the second twenty pages on the floor as I plan it out. I can only work this sort of stuff out with scissors and glue. Now I've got some new ink I can start writing the words to go with the pictures.
