Another great WesterNoir review ... this time issue 3....

Check out the great WesterNoir Issue 3 review over at http://downthetubes.net.

Hope to see some of you at the Leeds Thought Bubble event this weekend.

The honesty in a child's artwork.

In my day job I sit opposite a lady called Claire Smith. I can't say that I ever really noticed the way her ears stick out a little at the top until she showed me the drawing her four year old daughter. Olivia, did of her mum.

It always amazes me how a child's eye just naturally picks out things like that. Maybe I should have kept my thoughts to myself, but I did share them with Claire, and this resulted in her getting Olivia to do one of me, from photos on this very blog.
The result is really great, and I love the fact that she's signing her work (she just needs to put the date on for posterity).

She even captured my sideburns.
Great work Olivia, and Thanks !

Another great Robot Shorts review.

Robot Shorts has been reviewed over at www.curiosityofasocialmisfit.blogspot.co.uk and it's another really good one.

Stoptober... is over.

It can be said that we eat far to many cookies, cakes and sweets in the office.
So I decided at the beginning of October, well my waistline actually said it but I tend to listen to my stomach, that for the whole of October I'd sample none of the wares that littered the cabinets not 10 foot from my desk.
I succeeded, and it wasn't easy.
Friday was the 1st of November.
Stoptober had... stopped.
I was dashing from one meeting to another, as is typcial with me (time management never being a strength) when I passed my desk to spot a large Millie's Cookies box just sat there...

Seems my decision on what cookie to get in celebration had been made for me.
It's a massive cookie... or was...
No, I didn't eat it all myself, as this would have resulted in my taking on all the calories that I'd avoided in October in one cookied munching session.
Thanks to everyone on the team who contributed to the gift, and more importantly helped me to eat it.

Wolfmen Review.

There's a great review of Wolfmen and The Fall Of The Wolfmen over at www.brokenfrontier.com. It's great that new readers are discovering these books and enjoying them.

Invisible Man and WesterNoir update.

Well, the machine that is Diamond Distribution has received orders from the stores for Missing - Have You Seen The Invisible Man ? and so comics should be hitting stores in the next week or so. It's a healthy number, for a small independent outfit like us, so thanks to everyone you went into their store to order a copy. Please let us know what you think of the book when you've read it.
I had a great two days at The Lakes event last weekend, you can read a report over on the Accent UK blog. The biggest high for me was getting our new banner out of the packaging...

It's a great visual draw, thanks to everyone involved in its creation.
Speaking of WesterNoir, Issue 3 has been reviewed over at curiosityofasocialmisfit.blogspot.co.uk
pop over and see what Pat thinks of the latest book.
Gary Crutchley is busy finishing off Issue 4, which'll see print first thing in 2014. It'll be nice to start the year off with a bang.

From SuperZeroes To SuperHeroes.

Following on from Robot Shorts, my collaboration with Steve Holder, will be a little book called From SuperZeroes To SuperHeroes and this time I'm collaborating with Seba Velez.

It's my take on super-heroes I guess and won't be your typcial book of super-villains trying to take over the world and super-heroes stopping their evil plans... well... OK, it'll be a bit of that, but also it'll be a bit different.
Seba and I are nearing the middle of book now and things are moving along very nicely.
I finished greycaling a page of Seba's artwork this weekend, which I've sampled above, great stuff.
