Inside Hotel Chier
I've just finished my section of the epic soon-to-be-released Hotel Chier anthology, which features four interwoven stories all set in the eponymous hotel. Here's page one of ten. 48 page printed versions will be available for the purchasing in early 2008.

Missed Connections

Julia Wertz of Fart Party fame is in the final stages of putting together an anthology based on comic adaptations of 'missed connection' ads found on craigslist. To the uninitiated, these are basically the last-ditch efforts of lovestruck men and women who have spied someone who's caught their fancy and reckon they're likely to be reunited with em by professing their love indiscriminiately on the interweb. Makes for some poignant reading indeed.

A postcard from Smallville
First part of a short story based on an unremarkable night in Hicksville. Or so I thought...This one's for you Bub.

Happy Halloween!
A little halloween beastie for yuz - created from passing around animal picture books around and having to draw a new extremity from each book every 10 mins. I think mine would be scarier if I hadn't got a fish for my torso. Still, he can walk on his head if need be. Talk about small mercies.

Tortoise Vs. Hare


Aesop's fable meets Dr Strangelove meets Milton Caniff. Kinda.

Terror at the Junction
A little skit featuring my home away from home and some zombies - to be continued!

24 hour party people. Last night/this morning I had the dubious privilege of joining fellow masochists in the 24 hour comics challenge, aiming to produce an entire 24 page comic in 24 hours with no prior preparation. You can see the resulting masterpiece here. Notice the effects of sleep deprivation around page 19.

Sketchbook doodle. Random scrawlings with my brushpen on a newly-acquired bookywook.

Collateral Dommage Issue 1 Out Now!
My latest mini-comic is available now, for the bargain price of £1 or $2. Many thanks to all who traded it at SPX for their own stuff if that's the reason why you've crash landed on this here blog - scroll down for past work. To all newbies, the rest of the strip will be tantalizingly uploaded over the next few days, so be sure to come back to read the rest of this short story.

Robotman meets White River
(With apologies to Jim Reddick)

Bernard T. Rex A snippet from the children's book I'm working on about a vegan Tyrannosaurus. In this scene Bernard is perfecting his angry look a la Taxi Driver.

Just the two of us...
Pure pop art passion

She's My Laaaaaady
A pixelated tribute to the wonder that is my glorious girlfriend.

The Men Who Brought Disco Lights

Batteries Not Included
If we can all turn our washing machines to 30, switch off all lights and join a car pool, then maybe we can offset some of the tons o' carbon generated by most of the pop world glitterati jetting in to play Wembley. Maybe. Good gig though.

July 6th: The Beast With the Two Backs

Misanthrope, moi?

Captain's Log
No, it's not the product of Bluebeard dropping the kids off at the pool, it's a daily chronicle of life in the big urban cesspool that is Londinium. Sort of Samuel Pepys meets Gary Baseman.

Judgement Day for the NHS
So here's a second attempt at the same cartoon about the still-born young doctors initiative that Patricia Screwit has let slip through her bloody midwife fingers and splat on the floor.

Not know what I'm on about? Then click ere and prepare not to get seriously ill around August.

What's Up, Doc?
Patricia Hewitt survives a vote of no confidence, despite clinging for dear life onto a moribund NHS whilst being frantically grasped at by Junior Doctors.

A Visit to the Library - Part the Third

"No Fire Without Smoke"
part II.

See below for part I in this carcinogenic cartooning caboodle.

And whilst you're at, check out my spiffing page at The Crap Public Schools Association.

Your over-zealous public school education depends on it. It's the least you could do to celebrate a didactic decade of open access gym showers, estuary accents and biscuit games.

Welcome, Swines!
Public school greetings and a flick of a wet gym towel to new visitors to this page if you've been directed from the Crap Public Schools Association or anything else Swine-related. Scroll down and soak up the rich cartoony aromas.

To the rest of you hoi polloi, behold the first instalment of a strip based around the antics of the boys and teachers at Swinesend: Britain's Greatest Public School. If you're not familiar with it already, then QUICK! make haste to the link on the right and purchase a copy of the luxurious tome (illustrated by yours truly) forthwith. Failure to do so will spell detention and possibly one on one time with Mr Gropeworthy after school.
