I was asked to create some images for Nocturnal Academy (a book available through Amazon Kindle and Lulu). (I created the interior images while another artist created the cover).

For two of the images I recorded my progress and then sped them up to fit under 10 minutes (I am not this fast). The last of the three videos is a sequences of images as I worked through the very first image (I didn’t think of recording it at the time). (more…)

The blombos continue their journey away from their village. Where are they headed I wonder? Let’s find out.

So, here is the beginning of a story. Not like before, not just sequential series of boxes with some semblance of continuity and an attempt of a punch-line every week. An actual story that will be able to be read from one page to the next and so forth.

As I’d tweeted about on occasion, I was unhappy with the overall product when I went over the old stories. The short-version is that I realised had I written the story in it’s entirety I wouldn’t have written it like I did.

So here is the first page of my “Canon” Fodder (or something like the Director’s Cut), where I’ll pick and unravel an unseen story sprinkled with moments where I rewrite some facets of Blombo Saga thus far.

BONUS! See if you can find these in the first panel:

• Scurvy Joe (Eye patch)
• Ninja
• Chef
• Grandma
• Monobrow
• Beanie
• Pigtails
• Lovers
• Monocle\Tophat
• Stargazer
• Cool jacket \ sunglasses
• A bald blombo
• Braids
• Kitten ears
• Baseball Cap
• Skateboard
• Teddybear ears

I have updated some of the dodgy hand-drawn scribbles I made when I was away into digitals.

There is also now a shirt available based on #104…

Today’s (Jan 10th – the Sunday before this post goes live) maximum is 35° Celcius (95° Fahrenheit) which is not the worst so far (Summers are often over 40°C here) but it is too hot and humid to much feel like doing anything… especially after being on a short “holiday” off where it was raining for two thirds of the time.

Now it is time for me to listlessly wave my hand in the direction of this comic for the internet to see. The internet should count itself lucky.
