Influence Map

Ste — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:38:19 +0000

This took far longer than I first thought it would, but was also very enjoyable looking through a bunch of illustrations by my fave artists. Here’s my influence map! Also, I’ve linked each of the thumbnails if you’d like to see more work by any of the artists:

First time here?

Ste — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:36:16 +0000

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

Ste — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:31:25 +0000

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

Ste — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:00:38 +0000

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

Ste — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:57:47 +0000

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

Ste — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:03:13 +0000

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!

Ste — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:03:22 +0000

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!

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!

Ste — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 12:15:06 +0000

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.
