Crisis Centre #1 - Prologue

Blog #3, better for you, better for me

Today I unleash my new comic, Crisis Centre! It will follow a pretty regular schedule until the current crisis is averted, whereupon the series will end. Another episode tomorrow.

BLOG #2 AS THE LUNCH BELL DO RING

In tribute to my favourite foodstuff, jam, here's a jam comic I made with Mr Joe List.





An untitled project

I will be blogging three times today, three times. The blog bell will toll for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you had better be looking.

First up: UNTITLED ESTHER PROJECT

There were lots of mooted replacements for Scary Go Round other than the one I decided to make. You've seen Destroy History of course, but I considered almost every permutation and even did character designs for some of these series. Here's "untitled Esther University Project".



Can you imagine what kind of comic this might have been from these rough scrawls? Yes. A very derivative one.

Tastes just like "the holidays"...

...which is to say, it tastes like the corporate obliteration of something "special"? I can't tell. But I certainly felt sick, and that was after a small one.



Fortunately the British Pin Council (BPC) are on the case.

Batly Commission

An Esther commission! I don't know why she's wearing giant bat wings but Esther is pretty skinny and doesn't really fill a piece of paper horizontally.

Google Reader

Thousands of people now subscribe to my comic via Google Reader, but it strips all the newsposts out of my RSS feed and only displays the comic. This means I can't publicise my appearances, or new things I'm selling, or nuthin'. Essentially, it is as bad as one of those "comic ripper" sites from 2004. Is there any way to get around this? I am extremely eager to know.

EDIT: I am not angry at Google or people who read this way, I'm annoyed at my own failings as a web man.

Riding through the glen

I've been working on a new poster today. It was meant to be Robin Hood but he is on the backburner as I attempt to do justice to all his "Merrie Men" (Monk Man, Jimmy Red-shoes, Lady Madonna etc) so in the meantime, I made a poster of the second most famous hooded story. I have to finish up the trees then I suppose it will be ordering time!

I've uploaded a second batch of sketches to Flickr. They might just amuse you.
