Amoeba is in the shop! I’m working on a couple of properly new designs as well, I can’t say when they’ll be ready cause the day job has gone a bit mental just now, but it should be soon.

soooooooooooooooooon!

And here it is:

That bad boy right there will take you to the shop, with two designs to pick from just now – the Amoeba Hungers will be appearing in a couple of days and there’s gonna be a bit of a makeover for the rest of the site over the next couple of weeks. See you there!

- Well hello again! No, wait:

that’s more like it! Okay, here’s the big news: this is the week I finally get things together and become a humble flogger of t-shirts and such. I haven’t finished whacking out all the details just yet, but by Friday I’ll have a nice little store you can giggle at buy some classy togs from. Genius!

Right then!. Here be t-shirt:

it’s still not dry yet, but I am pretty damn happy with my shiny new coloured linocut paints. Who wants one?

- my word, it’s been two weeks. What are the happs? The happs are good. The sun has decided to bless me with it’s presence for a change, and I have a new monkey friend!

I think his name is Terry, although mostly he just throws poo. Terry is going on a linocut, just as soon as he gets a handle on the poo-throwing and learns how to behave.

This weekend my busy social calendar is taking me to Ireland. I’ll be back Monday, at which point – hopefully – normal service will resume. See you then!

- I can’t believe I’ve made it to Friday again. I’d be a lot happier drunker right now if I wasn’t working tomorrow, but I’ll just have to take solace in the fact I’ve got six lovely days off right after that. On to today’s picture:

this is for a competition I entered about six weeks back, I wasn’t originally going to post it here till I’d heard how I’d done but I’m fed up waiting so here it is, one of my rare colour pieces. I’ll tell you who it’s for when they get around to telling me how I did. See you again Monday?

Also, Rocky: I’ve been thinking about t-shirts for a while, it might be a near-future development – there’s a couple of options I’ll be looking into, I’ll let you guys know more next week.

Shetland

That’d be time for another post then? Okay here you go, this is from saturday night before the carnage proper started:

This is the birthday boy Hobson himself, with his shiny new t-shirt what I printed up on the sly, I seem to have mostly got the hang of making legible lino cuts so that’s two years well spent yes?

I got carried away and made Tony one too cause it was his birthday last week and I’m too damn cheap to buy people cards these days:

In other news: Rocky and Jude, your prints will most likely be ready for posting by monday or so. I have the pencils done, they amuse me greatly ee hee

Maggie: Can you send me your email please? I’m gonna have to pick somebody else if there’s nowhere for me to send your prize to….

That’s all I’ve got, gonna try and get more than two hours sleep or something

I had today off. I have been using the time to taunt some lino:

- well I’m pretty sure I’m very overdue for a new post, but I’ve been getting distracted by halloween costumes and trying to not die in poverty and also this:

If you’ve got a couple of seconds to spare, go and give it a vote, all funds received as a result will go straight to the Keep Shetland Drunk Foundation*

New drawings tomorrow! Would have been today but I’m ill and making comedy noises when I breathe! Serious conversations border on the farcical!

But yes, character drawings tomorrow for peoples.

*People tell me this is called a ‘bank account’ in the civilised world, and is frequently used for paying ‘rent’. I refuse to believe their pernicious lies…

My latest sub to threadless, because I’m weird like that:

there’s a pre-emptive screening to go through, so give it a few days and it should be up for being rubbished in public the votes of my peers…

Tomorrow: new drawings! For once!
