'Hatty Jack'

I did this picture of 'Hatty Jack' swinging along the street today for practice.

'Goblin Hall' still on sale

As 'Goblin Hall' has moved off the front page of my blog I thought I'd mention again that it's for sale on my website. Only £3 with free postage to the UK and Europe. Add £1 for the rest of the world. I've still got lots of copies of 'Great Deeds Against the Dead' Parts 1 &2 there too, and some copies of 'Gin Palace 1' though that one has been selling well. Buy any three and ask for any another one for free. (Please put a note on the order of which one you would like for free). Thanks

Andrew Cheverton & Tim Keable - WEST Distance

This is the first part of the second volume of these comics about a cowboy. In this series he is fighting in the Northern Army in the American Civil War. This issue is setting up the story mainly as he writes a love letter to his wife Eloise and it fills in the back story so you don't have to have read the first volume to tell what's going on. I really like the artwork and the pacing on this story, that cover is very good isn't it. The artwork is full of lettraset style effects that must be done on the computer these days I guess, with lots of the drawing done with black and grey shapes. Its a very atmospheric style, and the landscapes are very good.

Buy it from here. I'll be interested to see what happens next in this tale.

Paul Rainey - There's No Time Like The Present 13

It's the end of an era as this is the last part of Paul Rainey's long comic book story. Go buy it here, if you are not already reading it, why not?

I read the whole thing through after searching around on my shelves for an hour to find all the issues and then read the final issue last night. I can't say much about it as I don't want to give away anything but it's great. Lots of questions are answered and it hangs together really well as a massive long story. I recommend catching up on the earlier ones before you read it so you can notice all the subtle things.

Ice Cream Characters

I amused myself way too much making up these characters to put on a leaflet to help sell my ice creams. I especially like 'Sweet Potato' at the bottom right, due to its expression.

Review of 'Goblin Hall'

Here's a review of 'Goblin Hall' from Optical Sloth. Thanks Kevin!

This is going to be page 30 of 'The Gods Must Be Bastards'. I've gone for the old manga milky way background option.
