Monster post is for you

I’ve got to tell you, the last couple of weeks haven’t been so good on the drawing front. The dayjob’s been getting me more worn out than I’m used to, and I’ve just come off a set of early early shifts that would have left me plenty of time for drawing if they hadn’t also turned my brain to mush. Well, I’ve just got my first decent amount of time off since March and I’m using it to go on my holidays. I’ll be back in a week, with any luck my brain will have had a chance to un-mush and I can get back to the stupidly long to-do list I’ve built up. Till then, here’s a couple of sketches and work-in-progress hints as to the things I’m halfway through just now, as well as what’s been happening in general:

First thing that’s happened is my boots have died. Big deal, yes? Yes! They were about four or five years old, with nice hard toes for the many times a day I drop heavy things on my feet. I’d even managed to stop them smelling too much like there was something dead in there, and then the soles go and crack on me. I can put up with a lot, but boots that squeak like somebody’s squeezing a hamster with every step just have to go. RIP boots, you were awesome. Next up:

These pictures are all from my camera, on account of my scanner getting really shy all of a sudden. Now here, I’ve been mucking about with Zombie Kitty, there’s gonna be some news about the miniature bastard soon. Next!

Drawn watching an old Hitchcock film the other night. Lastly!

I probably shouldn’t have watched Batman Begins in quite that state of mind…

See you all in a week!

Sketchy sketch

Another take on one of the characters I’m working on just now:

If all goes to plan I’ll have more for you tomorrow, going back down to weekly posts has been on account of a few projects I’m not sure I can post here just yet…

Again?

I’ve been drawing monkeys again. Don’t worry, it’s all probably in a good cause…

A dash of character

I’ve been away for a bit, but I’ve got something for you:

Now I need to get to the dayjob. See you later then.

I was an exceptionally clever boy today and left the notepad I use for the Zombie Kitty strips at the dayjob. This week, then, Kitty will be showing up late Tuesday* – till then here’s something I scribbled down yesterday:

*by which I mean Wednesday

New week?

Looks like I survived the weekend there. I seem to have forgotten to post anything on Friday though, so here’s something from my Christmas TV binge:

Oh and this is me today:

Zombie Kitty tomorrow, yes?
