Fishy

I'm a little bit fish-phobic. I think it's their cold, dead eyes.

Thought Bubble 2013 is ON!!

I'm delighted to report that my patience while being on the waiting list to exhibit at Thought Bubble this year has been rewarded – I've got a table! Huzzah! It's a terrific show, probably the UK's best at this point (certainly in the top three – and isn't it nice to be able to say that, as we've got so many now?). Book your calendars for November 23rd and 24th, if you haven't already.

Here's a sketch from last year's show. I've almost certainly posted it before, but I'm too happy to care.

Business Card

I did this business card for the last couple of conventions I went to (pretty much the only time I ever need one). I'm never quite sure of the etiquette, so I generally just give them to people who specifically ask for my contact details or people who thrust one of their own cards at me. I was doing these elaborate little minicomic business cards for a while, but they cost a lot to produce and I'm not sure they make such a good impression anyway; they seem to say, "Here's a man who has far too much time on his hands".

Yetish

Not entirely sure where I was going with this one.

Samurai Rabbit

Here's a piece I've just finished for the Baltimore Comic Con fundraiser auction.

Monkey Butler

You know when your monkey butler tries your fez on while he thinks you're out? I hate that.

Pencil Fez

Here's the back cover of the mini-comic in pencil. (I might just leave it as pencil, actually; looks okay to me...)

The Curious Death of the Fez

Here's a panel from the current minicomic. Almost finished!

Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream

This has been formally announced now, and it looks like they're using my page as the illustration accompanying the news item, so I guess it's okay to post it here: I'm one of the contributors to Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream, a new anthology where various contemporary cartoonists offer their own interpretations of Winsor McCay's great, great comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland. There's more bumf about it here.


Also: I've seen posts about the Popeye Volume 3 and Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror paperback collections here and there, so I suspect they might be out this week; I'm not exactly sure. But ask your local comic store about them anyway. That never hurts.

Hieronymus J. Batt

This is a character in the new Fez minicomic. He only has a small part. (Which is probably why he looks like that.)
