Approaching the end of Chapter 1.....

A change of pace this week- I've been drawing more single frame cartoons, which I like as a change and a way of doing something fast and letting my more random section of my mind (which is most of it) go to town after a day of being logical and organised. Hope you like it...

And Happy 2010, and all that. Hope you had a good time off, and got to experience Christmas as it was intended. It's been good to have some time off, but now it's time to shake off the cobwebs, and get back into normal life in all it's shenaniganisms. Well, on Monday anyway. Still some time to blob. Huzzah!

I didn't mention it last week, but I spruced the blog up a bit. That's more like it. I should mention that Tom Dell'Aringa's Marooned book is taking preorders, and encourage you to go and check out his grand work. You can only order before Dec 2nd, though....

Well, exam 1 out of the way, exam 2 coming soon... but still found a bit of time for this. A short note- I love this cartoon.

I thought I'd just draw your attention to Mouse Guard- Winter 1152, a marvelous book I read on holiday last week- there seriously needs to be more comics like this- all ages adventure, epic, dark, a serious tone- absolutely wonderful. Exam time is upon me, so updates will most likely be intermittent. Back soon!

Woohoo! We're past the 20 episode stage! It seems more substantial to be able to say that, that now it's passed the initial starting up stage and moving onto phase 2, growth, development, establishment- generally, it's on a roll. Woo! And then you realise how many pages this would take up in print, but never mind. As my mum used to say, 'Slowly but surely wins the race'. Celebrate with me

And just who are these mysterious fellows? I recently finished reading the first story in Sean Wang's 'Runners' comic, and it's cracking stuff. It's a sci fi tale, with well developed characters, a good steady setup of the story's universe, and a lovely pay off on the action front, once you've got to know the cast. The comic timing is lovely, as is the banterous dialogue. The second story is

And so, the story broadens... and it all begins with beans. As do lots of things... One thing I want to do is go back to the earlier frames and tweak them. I've been trying a looser style which was a bit different to my usual more 'flowy' approach, the problem being that I started with the 'flowy' style then switched mid-way through. And I'd like to improve earlier frames anyway. So we'll see

I liked drawing this. And I think Kra-dooomm is a good expressive word. You obviously won't win a debate with it, but it could prove a good tactic to momentarily bewilder your opponent.

Managing to grab some time at the end of my holiday to put the latest episode/frame up. As a wise cartoon character once said: 'There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want'. Picked up a book while on a trip out with Sarah and Naomi called 'Mouse Guard', which I would absolutely suggest you see. It's beautifully drawn, and a wonderfully earthy, fresh story with a LOTR vibe, the

Ah, holiday approaches.... one more week to go... It's enourmously popular and probably doesn't need my promotion, but Garen Ewing's Rainbow Orchid book is coming out soon too. It's quite something for a fresh comic to break the mould and actually get published as an album and be available in high street bookshops in this country, so very well done Garen, and I hope it does as stonkingly well

This was an idea I had from last year. Ultimately I settled on Ziggy to spend time on as it was more fun, and pressed the 'i like space' buttons more. This was meant to be more of a fantasy tale, even though I started in space land.Still, here it is, I'll find part 2 sometime.

I think by the time I get to the end of this story it's possible I'll be 70, and it'll have a dramatic finale including gardening and pottering and having a snooze. Actually, I'd like to have something by a comic convention next year. That sounds better. Obviously not the whole story, but chapter 1.

Another of my random drawing pages- there's nothing quite like doodling for the sheer fun of it!Another comic I've recently come across is Marooned by Tom Dell'Aringa. True to my tastes, it's space based and a class act, starting off as one thing, then morphing into another....

Yep, this was a while ago now, but I love drawing with this pen!Episode 10 coming soon....I've recently been following Steve Ogden's top class comic 'Moon Town' which looks slick and fantastic- I'm not a follower of many web comics, but this is really up my street! He's got some good character work in there, and it's currently starting to kick up a gear. Being a fan of Space Lego, Thunderbirds

I felt the need to buy a dip pen at the weekend, to get a more spontaneous feel to my outlining. I picked one, and some nibs, but I've really been liking this sketching pen I picked up as well. I can be faster, messier, and have more FUN.Anyway, I also thought it'd be cool to draw some Lord of the Rings characters in an 'animated' style-- the Aragorn pic above looked better than another one I

I've been able to get drawing on this a bit more recently... I really should post more from the sketchbooks. Last night I was drawing more villains for Ziggy to face off against, and its great letting yourself just follow an idea, and seeing what develops.

Once again I've been busy on other things, and am now starting to catch up on some inking. However, I've now put up a Ziggy archive to the right hand side so if you're wondering what this Ziggy malarkey is, you can easily read from the start. Such a novel idea, I'm glad I thought of it before anyone else (ahem). Saw last night the classy Lord of the Rings film 'The Hunt for Gollum'. It's been

Ah, the speed of progress! COME ON! I want to recommend Mike Maihack's marvellous comic strip Cow and Buffalo, a comic I catch every week. My comic taste has mostly been things such as The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Batman: The Animated Series, the odd Star Wars, the DFC and the Rainbow Orchid, and this is one of the ones, like those, that really appeals to me. It's it's own thing, it's not

Hi there, and Happy New Year and all that.There should be an increase in activity on this blog, as you may have noticed I've been doing frames for a comic based on the adventures of a space-faring tomato (what else).Last year had got a bit busy, so the 'bite-size drip-feed' approach (if that makes sense) is definitely the way to go! I'm looking forward to building a whole fruity universe! How

The Tomato's battle suit concept, commonly known as 'That-New-Big-Tomato-Looking-Big-Smashy-Thingy'. A nerdish tomato scientist wanted to call it 'The Violaceum' after an ancient, sophisticated yet warlike tomato civilization, but his mates on the design team thought the 'New Big Dwarf' sounded funnier.The Ziggy story will continue later this week...

Page 2 in the adventures... talk about a slow building story. Have been reading some of 'The History of Middle Earth' books, which show how Tolkien wrote the LOTR books, and ideas that he considered but didnt get left in, which I find really interesting. It took him something like 12 years to write in his spare time, which is really something. It's inspiring how he had some initial idea of

Here's the first of hopefully many pages of the adventures of Ziggy the Space Tomato! It seems that my book plan will have to be put on hold for the forseeable, as I've been well occupied lately, and have had other work to focus on. I've also got another ongoing project on the way (which should help pay the bills), so when I can, I'll update here. Life really is too short.

The title is Sarah's response to my question: 'What shall I put as the title?'. I suspect she's hinting at something, if only I could work out what it is...Hmmm...Nope. Lost me.

Just watched the Secret Show for the first time... we need more kids shows made here! Instead, one of the channels who used to have children's programmes in the afternoon show MURDER MYSTERIES.I say no more.

And you thought it was a cartoon? No, it's a real sport. Really. The Ant Hill Mob retired a decade ago, but the Slag Brothers are still going strong.

Here's the second in my 'quick cartoon at lunch' series... although I've just been tweaking it a little a few minutes ago. I'm enjoying this, it's a bit more rough and ready, and different to my more polished stuff.I liked the comment from yesterday, it's sparked an idea off... feel free to leave comments, it'll be fun to riff off them and see what places it takes us...Finally, have a look at

And so begins a 'do a quick cartoon at lunch' experiment, in the medium of biro: think of it as a sketchbook to supplement the main finished cartoons...Let me know what you think!

And hello once more, after over a month... this involved being on holiday and having other design work to do, and the future holds some animation I'm doing at the moment for a project that a good friend of mine, Mr Jon Taylor, is working on. See what he's about at www.taylormation.co.uk, and say hi, and leave messages to get him to carry on his story via the medium of lego at http://

Well, it seems in the poll of WHAT'S BEST, the grand winner out of the carefully selected categories, were Pies. And what could celebrate their triumph better than a really badly drawn (with a mouse) picture of the aforementioned pastry?What indeed.The pie: humble, tasty and full of nutrients.

.....and a happy new year! Again. Because you've probably heard those words quite a few times already.Over Christmas, one of my old friends commented that I often write words such as 'sorry it's been a while since the last update...', and this is one of those occasions. oops! Still, the weeks have been full of holiday, Christmas before that, and in the last week and a half other things took

Ah yes, the trick of trying to come up with a title for the post which has enough of a link to relate to the cartoon, but doesn't give the game away before you read it...As you may have noticed, today's cartoon features a visiting bovine, resident of Mike Maihack's whimsical 'Cow and Buffalo' comic, who happens to be teleporting into other peope's comics... it's great stuff, and the book's worth

Thanks to Mr Dave Heath whose idea sparked in banterous conversation became the cartoon you see before you above. If that works as a sentence. Nice one!Apparantly though, as I found out after drawing this, you can actually get crutches with springs in which act as shock absorbers. Obviously not for launching people into the air. Which is a shame. It could be adapted for military uses, like to

Apologies for being a bit late this week, but I am on holiday... Have a look here, it's a video some friends of mine (from Quirkymotion, link on the right) have done for a band for the BBC's recent Electric Prom. It's got a cool style, and can be used with 3D glasses! Nice one, chaps!And now, to design a website for my wife's florist business.... (the link for her blog's on the right as well...)

May I recommend to you the webcomic of a Mr Jeremy Gonzales and Friends, entitled 'Knights of the Nexus'? It's one of the comics I read regularly, and is one of those stories where things actually happen instead of the villain going 'Bah, I'll get you next time!' after his latest inept plan for world domination/ to destroy his enemies and their pet dog fails and the reset button being pressed so

This one's based on an actual road sign I saw on the way back from a family do. Not sure it refers to greenery though.

Twas my birthday recently, and Sarah and I went to see Ratatouille, which was quite simply art. Brilliant. Made by people who's skill makes you weep.One of the reviews I saw though said 'Not enough laughs', which is a stupid criticism--- the director, Brad Bird, did 'The Incredibles' too, which was fantastic in the way the danger to the heroes was real, and the action scenes were of a more

Here's the first post I did for my more general comic site, www.rockhoppercomic.com.... Hello and welcome to the first post on my new webcomic! This is something I've been wanting to do for a while-- I'd like to get started on an ongoing story (the 'Rockhopper' bit ), yet end up drawing whatever I find fun at the time, so in amongst the 'big adventure' will be a fair chunk

Today's cartoon is an idea my brother, a church youth worker, had. I'm hoping to add a new cartoon at least once a week, but in light of the fact I'm going to need a good number of cartoons to make a good sized book in a year's time, I expect to have some cartoon binges going on.May I draw your attention to the poll at the right-- yes, this is your opportunity to decide, once and for all, WHAT'S

Hi there, and welcome to the first post for my new cartoon blog! I already have a comic website at www.rockhoppercomic.com, but this provides a way to find out what you think and get your comments.The master plan is to let the rockhopper site have whatever comics I draw on it, taking in a wide range of stuff (and maybe the 'Rockhopper' comic itself someday), but for this site to have single frame
