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!

I’m afraid Zombie Kitty is going to take a break now. Having a dayjob means my drawing time is stupidly thin on the ground SO for the next couple of months I’ll be shelving the comic to work on my linocuts and getting a decent comic browser set up for the return of your favourite undead kitty.

It’s Tuesday! Too late!

I’ve finally got some proper free time coming up next week, I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can pour out of my brain. Till next time!

dead whale braaaaaains!

I’m still working on thumping Comicpress into something I can show Kitty on in some kind of order, but this CSS thing doesn’t like my face one tiny little bit and has started making snide comments when it thinks I’m not listening. I think this brings the week-daily updates to an end for now as well, I’m working on a couple of things just now that won’t be in a fit state to show you for a while.

What do you mean you’ve never seen Grylls do that on TV?

Right, it’s technically Tuesday, another Zombie Kitty for you all:

Sketchbook backlog will continue on Wednesday, which is also my day off from the dayjob so it might be something shiiiiiny.

I had a bit of a rummage through my hard drive, and I’ve turned up a whole stinky pile of stuff I never got around to posting. As part of this year’s List of Doom, from tomorrow I’m going to be posting something every weekday till I clear the backlog. See you then,

Shetland out.
