05:08 pm - She Thinks She's A Placemat
The patterns are from the Olga Hirsch collection of decorated papers, taken from scans of postcards I bought at the British Library last year.
Really must remember to find time to make more of my own patterns sometime...
Meh.

04:55 pm - Is that what my voice really sounds like?
Short interview I did for the Creative Choices website a while back. The music on this totally kills me! I can't quite describe it, but it makes me feel like a cartoon of a slightly bumbling and wildly ineffectual boozy artist from the 50s, it's totally awesome. I wish I had some newer art and stuff to highlight in this, seeing all this old stuff makes me cringe a bit.
Also shout out to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) piratecore - there is a good shot of your postcards in here! Slightly worried that the way its shot in the film it almost makes it seem like I made them, but I do assure you I was explaining which bits and pieces on the board among all the postcards were actually my work!
ps. Don't be coming round here with your fishy paintings, ya hear!

05:21 pm - Another Soda...
The second anthology of music inspired 'lyrics you cant get out of your head' style illustrated songs and comics from the Sound of Drowning. Featuring excellent folks such as Nelson Evergreen (whose contribution is awesome and understated), Dan White, Paul O'Connell and assorted other folks.
Have a flick through! This is a publishing model I wholeheartedly approve of. Hard copies are available here if you fancy.

05:59 pm - Stuff, things, comics, what?
Woo! I got some t-shirts from WPRB the other day with my design on! They came out really well and I think I am in love with spot colours because they are the best. I am pleased.
Uh, and that's a picture of Roy Keane when he sported his excellent submarine captain beard. It was lovely, seriously.
Also just a heads up on the comics front - I haven't made any. I know, right! Shocker. I think it's mainly due to the fact I've been enjoying drawing pictures so much I just haven't felt inclined to write anything. I'm sure that will change, but for now I'm good. I don't think I'm going to be making anymore for a while though, not until I think I'll be able to enjoy it properly.
I do have a new strip coming out this year though - its a whole two pages* - and it should be in Side B. I did it in October or something. I've been meaning to post a preview or something but I obviously haven't. I might do that. At some point. Or you could just buy it. You know, when it's out...
*Big pages! Technically it's like 4/5 regular pages. In terms of the size I made it at.
And these socks make me piss.

12:42 pm - Happy New Year! / On the Farm / Plan B Albums Spread
I went away for new year and spent it on this here farm in the land of Kent, enjoying a fine peaceful combination of board games and farm animals. And also, Mario Kart Wii! (My friend code is 3781-3065-5041, btw. I love the fact that I've had so many versions of Mario Kart before, but now it's on the Wii the whole family gets involved).
Although I posted before while I was actually at the farm, I didn't have time to get anything more than a little twee picture off before being set upon by animals and food. So yeah, a belated happy new year and all that!
I heartily recommend a New Years spent in the countryside, anyway. Phoebe has a set of fine photos up here, where you can see all the sheep an that. They've got little sheepy helmets!
By the time I arrived home the new Plan B had snuck through the letterbox like an exciting bonus treat. I'd been looking forward to this one seeing as I had a whole two pages all to my lonesome. Just about anyway, there's obviously a review on there too. It's a fine one too, I especially enjoy the pull quote "funk-lubed saunter" and only hope my picture can live up to that.
I like to think my Archduke Sea Captain has a funk-lubed saber.

01:51 pm - MERRY THINGS AND HAPPY WHATEVERS
I sent this little card out to special people the other day. If you didnt get one, it probably just means I dont have your email address. What up?
Anyway, if that's just a bit too twee for you, I think this is good for at least one more use.

12:55 pm - Shadow of a Doubt
This is my interpretation of Sonic Youth's Shadow of a Doubt (there's a bigger version of it on my flickr too, if this one is too small). It's a piece for the forthcoming "Another Soda" anthology, a collection of illustrations and art inspired by song lyrics, which is bound to very excellent - especially if there are more submissions like this from the excellent Nelson Evergreen again.
The deadline for submissions isn't until June now, so there's plenty of time to get involved! Which you should obviously do. Highly recommended.
