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! |
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!
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!

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! |
