Teacher Celebration Post!

by on June 17, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hello all!

First of all, apologies if you’ve had trouble getting onto the site; The host is currently dealing with some database issues, and they’re working on resolving them. Still better than the previous hosts, I reckon!

Anyway, I’ve been thinking recently about teachers, and how they have affected my development. I’ve had so many damn good teachers, who not only trained me in the skills I need to do what I do, but also inspired me to aspire to greater things. Along with my family, without the following people I would not be the person I am today: read more

Trash TV

by on June 14, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

So, I watched a documentary called ‘Confessions of an Alien Abductee’ earlier. Now, I’ve watched a good number of UFO documentaries in my time, having enjoyed UFO stories since I was a kid. Never before have I seen a documentary as insensitive, exploitative, and just generally disgusting as this one.

First off, let me clarify my position on UFOs and aliens. I very much want to believe; however, I demand scientific rigour and a strong position of evidence in order to be convinced that something has happened. This program did not supply either of these. Instead, what we got were several people obviously undergoing a schizophrenic episode or psychotic break. Now, I have a tremendous amount of sympathy for these people, especially the man who seems to have created his abduction experience as a coping fantasy to survive a broken home. What I really, truly disliked about this show was the insensitive manner in which the interviewer dealt with the people, essentially being VERY passive-aggressive and baiting them to say the stupidest things possible. I’m sure there are other abductees out there who are possessed not just of good mental faculties, but also the self-awareness to talk about their experience in a frank and sensible manner. read more

New medium, new art!

by on June 10, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hullo everyone!

It’s a bit late, so I’ll only put up a little post today (I’ve been reformatting a script for submission; that and giving myself the fear about trying to break into the industry), and I promised you an experimental piece last week, so here are the results!

This is white gel pen on black foamboard. There’s also some red and purple gel pen, but they didn’t show up at all on the black background so I tried to hue the white ink with them; It didn’t turn out so great. read more

A post of no real consequence

by on June 7, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hola amigos!

I do try and make these posts as informative or thought-provoking as possible (when they don’t just spiral into rants about whatever I’m currently annoyed at), but this time round I thought I’d just muse on stuff that has entertained me this week!

I think I’ve discovered a new medium that I desperately want to explore. Black foamboard, meet white gel pen and acrylic pen. IT IS SO SATISFYING TO DRAW ON. With the gel pen, you can get some really nice sketch effects, while the acrylic pen gives a mighty, well-defined and bold stroke useful for doing thick outlining. Plus, the starkness of the white on the black background really helps what you’ve drawn stand out; because people are so used to black on white for sketches, it really draws attention when you invert that. read more

Let’s try something different!

by on May 20, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Hola!

I’ve not been sleeping properly these last few weeks; nothing major, just part of ye olde depression-and-anxiety mood cycle! But, rather than sit around allowing it to get to me, I decided that I’d take today off and do something completely different to what I usually do (as well as get a good night’s rest to reset my body clock).

To that end, I’m going to give abstract painting a go. So much of what I do is surprisingly limited: I write a lot, and must restrain myself within the bounds of logic and reason (well, it’s my overall goal anyway :P). I draw a lot, but it’s always within the bounds of form, aesthetic, panels, paper. read more

Plans!

by on May 17, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

For one brief, horrible moment there, I thought I hadn’t done a page for today! Then I remembered I had, and it was aaaaall fine 😛

Anyways, I have a plan to migrate to a different ISP: The current one has done alright over the last few years (I’ve been with them ever since my very first website in high school), but I feel I need the resources that a larger webhost can offer, in order to continue delivering a quality comic for everyone! It’s not going to be an instant thing, but just brace yourself for a little potential roughness. WordPress being awesome and magical, however, has a method by which I can actually preserve the site, posts, comments etc. so hopefully the transition should be reasonably smooth! I’ll announce it properly, when I’m actually carrying out the migration. read more

Mm, sunlight

by on May 10, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Ah, Sumer is Icumen as they say in some places where they stuff nosy police officers into giant effigies made of wicker. The days are getting longer and longer, and the weather is getting lovely and warm. The best part of it all? It’s getting easier to wake up early at the weekends and get a good amount of work done!

Why is it that it feels better to wake up earlier and do work, rather than to do the same amount of work by waking up and going to bed later on in the day? It might be related to the idea that waking up to see the sunrise feels better than staying up for it; In the former, it signals the beginning of a new day, and it just feels like you have more time. The latter is more easily associated with staying up far too late than is recommended (and, for any artist with a dayjob, a common occurrence). read more

The Final Short!

by on May 3, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

Ahoy thar all! It’s that time, that sad, sorrowful time, wherein I show you the very last 10-minute short story I wrote as part of a writing workshop… Hope you enjoyed them!

Also, I believe I’m becoming addicted to Sunflower seeds. Better than getting addicted to Poppy seeds, right enough 😛

Story Prompt: A character needs to find the source of the noise (I may have tried to be overly smart with this one)

———————–

Lat nights were never good in the lab, especially now that Kevin’s overtime allotment had all been used up. He was now her eonly to prove that he was still good at his job, still worth something to the company. read more

Condolences to Boston

by on April 19, 2013 at 6:00 am
Chapter:

I’m sure everybody’s aware at this point about the tragedy that happened at the Boston Marathon this week. Maudlin sentiment seems inappropriate at this time; Instead, I hope that those injured and affected by it are given all the help they need to recover after this heinous attack, and that the families of those murdered will be granted the justice they deserve swiftly, so that they may mourn the lost.

I would also implore the good people of Boston to take care, and please to not fall victim to the paranoia and fear that the perpetrators so desperately wish to engender. Pull together, take strength in each other and rebuild; the world will be watching over and supporting you all. read more
