I've been playing with some phone case designs in my Redbubble store. I'd like to be able to get a wider selection for different phones so I'm looking into various sites to get them made - finger's crossed!

Packing for the MCM Expo...
A bag of stickers so heavy it's actually hurting my arm to hold them up!

Wedding bits!
I went and got married to my wonderful beau John-Paul Bove on the 18th of May which was fantastic. I couldn't resist making some little cartoon versions of us to make as keyring party favours and little standees for the reception table! :P

The Cute and the Weird series!
Last year, I wanted to make a full-colour book to sell at cons alongside the black and white ones I'd made. I didn't have any particular comic in mind but realised that I had enough of a series of images to make a book. I then thought it might be a nice idea to start a series under the same title, but have each volume totally different. I really liked this concept and ended up making two books to sell under the same banner and so The Cute and the Weird was born! I'm better at creating one-off images and gag cartoons than I am at sequential stuff; I find it a bit harder to make something with a beginning, middle and end but I really enjoy dropping a character into the middle of a strange situation and letting the viewer decide how they got there. The Cute and the Weird is a great excuse for me to collect together a gaggle of random events and characters but still have them tie together in some way.
So far there are three books in the series; Volume 1 and 3 have a bit more structure to them, whereas Volume 2 is more like a mini art book. I like the idea of each one being based around a central idea or theme and I'm already planning the next one. I'm starting to really enjoy making the books and am aiming to release a couple a year alongside other small press titles, dependant on workload. I'm hoping that people will start to see the series as something fun and a bit different! :P

The Cute and the Weird Volume 3!
My new book turned up today! I was hoping I might have finished The Cute and the Weird Volume 3 before the Bristol Comics Expo but got it to the printers a little bit too late . I will have it for the MCM Expo though, so please do swing by my table if you would like a copy!

The Best Birthday Party Ever!
A while ago, a lovely lady (and amazing photographer) asked if she could use my TMNT pictures for her little boy's birthday party. I said yes but didn't quite expect to see just how awesome a party she'd put together for her son! Please check out Stephanie's blog here for what can only be described as the best birthday party ever!

I've submitted my shark card to Threadless as part of their second greetings card competition. If you could head over and vote for it, I'll promise to draw sharks forever! :P

Watching horror films and sketching equals the above. The films were Poltergeist and The Descent.
