Ooo... That's tempting, assuming the tour doesn't evaporate like last time around!

At some point I'll get around to cracking the next comic, at some point....

Now we're in the festive season, I can also add that it's a, "Comics Arts Awards of Australia" shortlisted season special too. And also very much still available digitally: globalcomix.com/c/a-yuletide...

Because what's Christmas without a little Haunting?

Belated Sunday, Pizza.

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Pizza quickie, loose marks.

Drawingboard was a little too dusty, loose lines.

Pose was lifted from the photo ref, so I can't take any credit with that! But thanks, I'm still trying to work out how to apply those implied shapes/elements to anything I'm drawing from the ground up where I generally tend to over render any masses.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Thanks! Really had to fight an urge to drop more black fills into it, haha.

Keep forgetting to post here, so here's a belated nightcap sketch.

Finally got around to watching, "The Devil's Backbone" the other night after having it sit in the to-watch pile for far too long. And that visual of Santi as a ghost was still hanging in my mind.

Probably got more of these older process videos stockpiled somewhere, but here's another one.

Fun fact: I just remembered you can post videos here, so here's one from a little while back.

Nightcap, testing some marks/ideas for another piece.

"Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You--", quick dinner procrastination and working my way through M.R. James' short stories.

Had some loose thoughts to possibly try song writing and I've slapped a handful of rough ideas together after diving into a DAW earlier in the year. But outside of the fact I'm not really a muso, it still hit the same wall with the realisation I don't have anything to say with them either.

It's the middle of the year. Been over a year now since I last created a sequential page and over 2 years since I last actually broke a complete story... I'm kinda itching to create *something* but have nothing to actually really to say or draw.

A blast at Sydney Supanova with @ifwgpublishing.bsky.social @ipicomics.bsky.social & amazing author @merryjay.bsky.social & Comic Creator @coffeeicus.bsky.social

Also unrelated, "Ink Art of Hayden Fryer: Volume Two" (ISBN: 9780987290755) is also available to pre-order from the usual online aggregators: www.booktopia.com.au/ink-art-of-h...

PS. Volume One's also still available.

My favourite game at the moment is to see how wildly priced my books are from different retail/online vendors.

In unrelated news, "Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror" (ISBN: 9781925956917) is now available to pre-order through your local bookstore (or online!): newsouthbooks.com.au/books/bristl...

Cover for "Kinds of Blue: An anthology of short comics about depression", featuring a woman standing under a raining umbrella against a dark cloudy background.

My PHP skills are rusty & I spent an hour fixing a caching issue, but now the site works.

So if you want to read the first book I published &/or you're interested in #comics about #depression & #mentalhealth, check out "Kinds of Blue", my anthology of short comics:
