Japanofail catches up!

Half a year after Japanofail relaunched last September it's finally caught up with what was published in its original run! I updated as far as the end of issue 2 before, with today's updates bringing us right up to the pre-launch of issue 3. Hardcopy readers will already know I've drawn out 5 issues of this series so far, so new-to-webcomic material is a guarantee as the work's already been done! :D

I'll now be updating on both the on old turf of Drunkduck HERE and from the rebooted run on Smackjeeves HERE.

Please have a browse and I hope you enjoy what you see. ^_^ Of course if you're really taken with the series then copies are always available via my shop.

March gossip

We're kind of between things at the moment so there's not been much to report. This is how things stand:

- Birmingham Comic Expo is next weekend! I'm trying to make an effort to get to more events outside of London so this will be a good opportunity. I'll have all my comics available, including my most recent comic The Thief's Affair, so if you're attending please feel free to drop by and say hello. :-)

- There's a nice juicy anthology in the works over at Non Repro as J Cult starts to emerge from the fog. I've got a short comic in there so will naturally update with more info onceit becomes available sometime in the coming weeks.

- I'm still working on a big *new* thing which I'm hoping to have ready for May MCM Expo. I had an arm strain which was quickly followed by a nasty cold, which I'm only now recovering from, so progress has been slower than I'd like these last few weeks. There's a lot of work to do, so please look forward to more news as I bust mylsef trying to get it done. XD I haven't revealed much about it, but as a first indicator it'll an action-comedy series that involves lots of trips to the zoo. Previews should start to appear from next month so long as things stay on target. :-D

Later! ^_^

Like a blur - 2 events down!

Time's been going quick and it's hard to keep up with all the things that have been going on! London Anime Con came and went and was quickly followed by London Super Comic Con which was last weekend. Thanks to everyone who dropped by - any and all support is always appreciated. :-)

To be honest this rush has had an effect on comic-making as it's been difficult to keep on top of things. I'm still aiming to announce a new big thing for May Expo though so wish me luck! If you were one of those who bought A Thief's Affair you will have had a sneak peek at the new comic already! ;-)

My next event is Birminghan MCM Expo - just a few weeks to go. If you're attending feel free to come say hi!

The Thief's Affair 1 - photos!

This just arrived:

So yeah it's ready and good to go. It will be debuting at London Anime Con this weekend as will be available at all subsequent events that I'm attending. I've added it to my shop which I've just neatened up a little. I hope you check it out!

The Thief's Affair 1

It's new comic time! :-)

The Thief's Affair is a new series with a bit of a period feel (kind of a fictionalised Victorian time), focusing on a roof repairer who finds himself getting involved in other people's problems, for better or worse. I've been waiting a long time for the right moment to start drawing this and couldn't wait any longer!


This comics is now available on my shop! :-)

Events and other gossip!

Just a quick run-down of what events I should be attending over the next few months:

Feb 12th - London Anime Con Protip: It's also running on the 11th, but I'm only there for the Sunday.

Feb 25-6th - London Super Comic Convention I shall be sharing a table with the wonderful Tammy!

Mar 31st + Apr 1st - MCM Expo Birmingham Yes I am finally escaping the realms of London to attend more comic events. Exciting! :D

May 25-7th - MCM Expo London Which was virtually a given considering it's so damn cool. ^_^

I mentioned some of this in the last post, but there'll certainly be some new comics appearing at these events (I hope anyway!). I'm nearing the halfway point of one comic, so expect an announcement sometime within the next few weeks at the very least... ;-)

2012 is here!

It's the beginning of a new year, so perhaps a good time to talk about my plans for the next 300-or-so days. I haven't really anything to show, so this is more a check in to show I'm still active and busy doing, you know... stuff.

I'm working on NEW THINGS! The above pencil sketch is from one of two comics I'm drawing at the moment. I hope one will appear quite soon and the other is aimed squarely at London's May Expo. There's nothing else to share right now until things are nearer completion (and neither are currently anywhere near that stage!). The targets I've set myself are fairly insane and work-intensive so if I pull everything off as planned I'll be psychotically happy. Please don't hate me too much if I end up crashing an burning before then...

In terms of current/older titles I consider Japanofail to be essentially a completed project. Its spirit will certaintly live on in future comics as my sense of humour is fairly consistent in its depravity. ;D Beholder of the Eye should conclude this year too, but I want to level up working on current comics before going all out for the finale. I have an ending in mind so please bear with me while I try and make it epic and violent and awesome.

Thanks it for now, will update as things happen! ^_^
