Finished inking the thing today - here's another panel.

Swirly Fez
More from the minicomic. Another day and it's done, I reckon.

Fez in Progress
Almost finished pencilling this minicomic... here's the back cover so far. I was hoping to finish this tonight but it'll have to keep until the morning.

The Woozter
I drew Woozy Winks. Just because I feel somebody should.

Silly Baddie
It's that fiend, The Madman in the Moon! (Continuing the Jack Cole theme, we even have an "Injury to the Eye" motif...)

Fez Incoming
Right now my days are being filled with three things:
(1) Writing some pages for a graphic novel, which I'm going to be trying to raise funds to produce shortly. I want to get a page-by-page breakdown and some finished sample pages done before asking for contributions, so I'm laying the groundwork for that. More about that shortly, I hope.
(2) Things for money! This involves the odd lettering job, a few commissions, and (soon) a comic book illustration job for IDW (just waiting on the script).
(3) A Fez mini-comic. My first Fez story, in Aces Weekly , seemed to be well-received, so I'm doing more of that, both for Aces and for myself. It's starting to coalesce into something I'm rather pleased with. So I'm plugging away at a mini-comic that I intend to have ready for the 2D Festival in Derry at the end of this month. Here are pencils for the cover.
While I've got you, may I draw your attention to an appearance I'll be making at Foyle's Bookstore in London as part of Tripwire Magazine's 21st anniversary celebrations on the evening of May 16th. There'll be some other, much more famous guests as well, including Mike Carey, Peter Milligan, Christopher Fowler and Michael Moorcock, no less (!). It's a ticketed event – and you can get those tickets by following this link.

Cole Train
And here's some Plastic Man. Somewhat in the style of a 1940s Jack Cole cover, or at least that's the intention.

Fez Wardrobe Fun
It's that Fez fella again! What's he up to this time...? And what the blazes is he wearing?!

Muppet Team-Up
This is another commission. The brief was to do my own take on this old Marvel Team-Up cover, only with Muppets instead of the Marvel characters. So here's what I came up with.
I was surprised at how rusty I was at drawing the Muppet characters - I needed reference for Sweetums, and that hasn't happened in a while. Better brush up on the rest of the cast before I do any conventions or anything...
I do enjoy drawing gnarly trees, mind.
