I’m back on this nonsense again. Although I have less gaming time with the Euros on telly, I can get more sketching done.

Enjoying this excellent book by Michael Molcher that I got for Xmas.

I admit I was expecting more of a, “see that on the news? Same thing happened in this 1979 Dredd story, lol,” kind of book. Instead it’s more like, “we’re all completely fucked and here are the receipts to prove it.”

Still essential reading.

Finally got down to WHSmiths today to see copies of the second edition of Spectrum on the shelves. I drew the 12 page Terrahawks strip written by Dan Whitehead, with extra inks by Gary Crutchley, colours by Owen Watts & lettering by James Gray. Naturally I moved all copies to the front.

I’m slightly disappointed that I couldn’t manage to finish the inks and colours in time myself, but it turns out that drawing comics in the evening when you have a full time game dev job is quite hard work.

I’m not normally one to mark passages in books I read, but John Higgs’ excellent Love and Let Die (contrasting the cultural influence of The Beatles and James Bond) has had me shouting out ‘Yes!’ about a dozen times in the opening chapters alone. I want to come back and enjoy these again.

I’ve finally had a successful Amazon delivery! These three superb looking self published comics by ace Finnish game developer and cartoonist Miha Rinne. He’s only just put them up for sale, so please take a look and maybe give them a try.

Ok, it's midsummer, I reckon I'm finally allowed to start reading this now.
Zelda + Eurovision + added Luna. Not a bad Saturday night.

My body* is ready...

Took my dog for a walk this morning... to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
The 2000ad Annual 1984 is a bit of a treat for Alan Moore fans. A Rogue Trooper AND a Robusters story by the great man, a three page text piece on writing Skizz, and this origin story:
