The day I tried to write a story in an hour…

6 December, 2012 by Alex


I gave myself an hour this morning to sketch out a wintry tale – so inspired was I by the icy morning walk to my daughter’s pre-school.

Not wholly successful, but about 75% successful, here is a picture (click for biggie) of the story laid out on my floor. I roughed it out in sketches and words, and used a newish character called Little Bo Bear as my focus.

A good way to start the day, at the very least!

Goat advent calendar 3rd December 2012

3 December, 2012 by Alex

Here’s an attempt at making a blog advent calendar! Because of a random Twitter conversation, I’m making each entry about goats.

So here, two days late, is the first door. While goats watch o’er their pressies by night!

Sneak peek at Pigsticks & Harold 2

28 November, 2012 by Alex

With book one pretty much finished, we spent this morning working on the dummy to Pigsticks & Harold 2. It seems to be working out well, but there’s much to do.

Here’s a little snapshot of the scribbly work in progress.

Apocalypse Cow

21 November, 2012 by Alex

It’s been in the works for about 5 years, and inspired by a painting by Migy but I’m finally drawing a comic about Duck special agent. The first story is called APOCALYPSE COW, and I’m sure you can guess what that’s about…

It’s become my evening project, so it’ll take me a while. Still, It’s coming along OK!

The Moomin Wall

18 October, 2012 by Alex

This wall’s been filling up since my daughter’s birth, a few years ago. Today Sniff was added, on the proviso that she’d draw me a dinosaur at Nursery.

Next up Snork Maiden and the Groke!
