Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing great.
Still not recovered from last week’s election results – I think I’ve gone somewhat politically numb, and I’m probably going to take a step back from thinking about politics to focus on my art for the next short while, because at least that makes sense.
Just a word of warning, though, Friday’s comic will unfortunately be another Extra page, as I’ve got an exceptionally busy week at work coming up. Hope you don’t mind!
On the plus side: Labour gains in England.
On the minus side: SNP losses in Scotland.
On the fucking ridiculous side: SNP losses TO THE CONSERVATIVES in Scotland.
Who was voting SNP and then switched to the Tories? Seriously?
I mean, all things considered, a repeat of 2015 was unlikely. But when people are voting the likes of Angus Robertson out, who was a more effective opposition MP than any other in Westminster during his tenure, in favour of a Tory who – BY THEIR OWN ACTIONS – cannot effectively make up the Tory majority due to EVEL? Well, that’s just incredible.
Hey everybody! I’ve been hard at work as always – more often than not IN work, unfortunately… But on the plus side, I’ve been working on a couple of projects that I’ve been talking about for a while, and I’ve got a new toy to play with, so it’s all good!
Hopefully some time in the next couple of weeks, I’ll get my storytelling YouTube channel “Licorne & Drake” up and running – in that channel, you’ll hear me narrate my short stories, and watch videos I’ve been making (these will range from me making cocktails and cooking to short documentaries and, if I can get folks involved, short films). The plan is to update every couple of weeks, so as not to interfere with my five-million-and-one other projects!
Hey everyone – not too much to say today. I’m just glad that, so far as I know, nobody I know was hurt in the Manchester attack this week. Even though I don’t live there anymore, even though I moved back because I was missing Glasgow – Manchester was once my home. And the people there are tough. They won’t be beaten. There’s a reason the city’s emblem is the worker bee – they get shit done, through all sorts of adversity, and if you mess with them you’ll find they’re more than capable of holding their own.
Hey everyone! I’ve had a buuuusy busy weekend. Seriously, it feels like I’ve just stepped out of work and all of a sudden the weekend’s just flown by and I’ve gotta head back to the office… However, I’ve managed to get some stuff done that I think you might enjoy, so here, have a couple of links!
Here’s me reviewing a game I’ve been playing far too much of on my tablet.
And here’s me building a Lego Volkswagen Beetle. Even composed the tune myself!
Hey everyone! Well, we’re getting through this issue of Mei Wu at a blistering pace, now that I’m not being sent here there and everywhere 🙂 And we’re actually nearing the end! It’ll be a few weeks, right enough, but I think that gives me just enough time to whet your appetites for the next Elf Blood story 🙂
Who’s up for another story diving into the seedy underbelly of the local magical community, The Village? Who actually REMEMBERS the last time I actually used it in a story? This story will focus in on the Pleiades – which means you’ll be introduced to two whole new characters 😀 It also sets the scene and introduces some elements for a major – MAJOR – plot point in the story afterwards. I hope you enjoy intrigue and asskicking 😀
Hey everyone! After much consideration, I’ve finally accepted a quote for printing for two new books! Really looking forward to selling print work again, and I’m REALLY keen to start tabling at conventions and comic fairs!
I will, of course, be selling these online as well, just as soon as I can figure out how – I’ve seen other creators using Etsy, but does anyone have any rough-and-ready suggestions I can go and research in addition? It’d help shave a few days off my search 🙂
Hola folks! Hope you’re doing well!
Today, I’m going to do something I don’t do very often – pontificate about beer. Now, you all know I’m quite the foodie – I love eating as much as I enjoy making food. However, when it comes to alcohol, apart from cocktails, I’m relatively ignorant of the finer points of craft brews, small batches, etc. etc. I tend to try different things and stick to what I like best (Dry beers and lagers and dark rums, largely).
But I tried a new beer this week that absolutely. Blew. My. MIND. It’s so good I haven’t shut up about it to my friends and family! I’ve been drinking Drygate Brewery‘s core range for about a year now – I’m a fan of their Bearface Lager and their Axe Man Rye IPA (and I’m not normally an IPA fan). And I’ve been trying some from their new ‘Studio’ range recently – without all that much success.
Ahoy thar folks, nothing much from me to report today, other than – how expensive are A3 scanners??? I mean, a decent quality one can start out in the low thousands of pounds, unless you want to compromise and get one that’s liable to break on you. Fortunately, the only thing I need to scan in right now is pencils for a competition entry, so I can just half that and stitch it back together in photoshop. For paintings and drawings, though, I reckon I’ll just photograph them instead…
Hullo everybody! Just a quick post today, but this time fortunately not because I’m rushed – I just don’t have all that much to report, in all honesty!
It’s been a lovely few days here in the west of Scotland. Like, properly sunny and warm (“Taps Aff”, in our vernacular). And it’s going to continue being nice for at least the next couple of days. I actually think I’m going to sort out some outdoor planters – I’d love to grow some flowers to attract bees and whatnot. Anyone any suggestions for flowers? I’m thinking maybe cornflowers and lavender.
