Bye Bye Birdie

| More

What, a new strip!? And on a FRIDAY?? I know it’s been a while…

Tried something a little different with the textures on this one, think it helps make the characters pop a little. Clocking in at 11 panels, maybe it’s also worth linking a bigger version here.

blog...

First time here?

Added a new page to the menu, for those not familiar with webcomic sites. Not really sure why I hadn’t thought of this sooner?

So hey! Are you by any chance new to webcomic sites? Click here for a quick tutorial, then dive in to HOURS (minutes?) worth of comics around the site.

Still struggling? Don’t worry! I have paper copies of my first batch of strips available for speedy dispatch in the store!

Ste-Rictly Commercial flip-thru

Not sure why I didn’t get round to this earlier… but here’s a flip-thru video of Ste-Rictly Commercial (the Ste-Regular vol. 1):

Illustration Friday – Adrift

My attempt at “Adrift” for Illustration Friday.

The shop was pretty quiet this morning, so I had a couple of hours to kill. Photoshop and mouse.

Hourly Comic Day 2010

Yesterday was hourly comic day! Last year was pretty straight forward (falling on a Sunday) which was good for me, being my first attempt.

This year I was thrown in head first, being a work day… Juggling my day job and my comics isn’t out of the ordinary by any means; but drawing a new panel EVERY HOUR, combined with running the post office and shop is a tad more complicated, yet somehow refreshing!

You can read my attempt here!

Font Shopping 2010

Fonts!
New Years day morning brought no hangover this year, but instead… Font shopping. I took advantage of Comicraft’s 24 hour sale where all fonts prices plummeted to an affordable $20.10!

Picked up a nice slender number I thought may come in useful for those teeny speech balloons – goes by the name of ‘CREDIT CRUNCH’ also bought ‘BIFFBAMBOOM’ which I believe speaks for itself… Along with ‘SHOUTOUT’ for those balloons which just need that extra bit of volume.

Look out for them in this years strips!

Thought Bubble 2009

Swag!

Currently working my way through all the books I bought at this years con… Highlights so far being Monsieur Cadwell’s Glastonbury postcard book, Chloe Noonan #2 (Marc Ellerby) and Greasy Joe (M. D. Penman)

We also had BIG FUN on the train finding things in ‘Intricate Dwellings’ by Philippa Rice (you can buy it here)

I’m sure there are some more gems in here, just need to find the time to READ THEM ALL!

Ellerbisms turns 200!

This week Ellerbisms turned 200! And so Marc has opened his site to guest art and comics for the week! Monday saw tremendous work from Lizz Lunney, Emma Vieceli, and Matthew Sheret.

Today, work from John Allison, Cowface, and myself! Looking forward to the rest of the week.

I’m sure it’s been said many a time already, but here’s to the next 200 Marc!

Much Love!

Much Love!

Site was down yesterday due to exceeding it’s bandwidth… meaning I’m getting more internet Love!

It is indeed back online now (as you can see) and will have a new strip up before the week is out. In other news, currently getting some quotes on a printed volume of The Ste-Regular! Stay tooned.

“Other Comics” page up!

Other Comics Page

 

Added a page for my other comics! Only a couple on there at the moment. The comic I drew for Hourly Comic Day can be found over there if you missed it first time round. Had a couple of chaotic weekends recently meaning only being able to update once a week, hopefully get it back to twice a week from Monday.

Name change

Decided to change the name of the webcomic. The strips seemed to focus on me and Criss more so than the village. Welcome to the Ste-Regular. Any thoughts?
