Welcome to the home of Lloyd and the Bear, Urp, and all things Mac & Cheese related!

Every weekend I plan to post an update on how I’m getting on with Lloyd and the Bear or what related project I’m currently doing!

I’ll be dropping Urp! strips at random intervals when a thought enters my head. Is Urp me? Um……. maybe (not?)

And hey, I LOVE Mac & Cheese and I’ll be dropping my reviews of new dishes and eateries I come across along with recipes and facts every now and again!

Oh man this issue took way longer to put together than planned (or at least it felt like it) but finally I’m done with updating issue #13!

And like, even as I put this blog together I noticed a mistake which, although it was only a panel where two lines were a pixel out, it was enough to bug me. And then having done that I realised that I’d forgotten to put some sound effects in! But now, I am DONE!

So this weeks blog is covering the 2 two page spreads that were in this issue.

Here’s the original;

And here’s the updated panels!

A couple of weeks back I was up in Manchester for MCM Comic Con which presented me with the chance to try some Mac & Cheese outside of this here London!

With quite a few choices available to me (although sadly not as many as I had originally located on Google) I headed off to Norther Soul – an eatery so well known that it’s even had a visit from the great Adam Richman!

So we can all agree the Comic Village is one of, if not THE, best parts of a convention!

What you might not know about is how great it is to be behind a table in the Comic Village. You see, not only do you get great people stopping by your table, chatting, and exchange stories but you’re also surrounded by other creatives all with their own styles and ideas and also, sometimes, FREE SKETCHES!

A lot of these are from our good London MCM neighbour from Elenawing Studios but there’s a few other sweet additions in here as well!

Man, this just makes me want the end of August to hurry up so we can get up to our next convention in Aberdeen!

Oh, and hey, if you want to check out any more work from the artists above why not check them out at the following sites!

As for me – I’m almost, almost, ALMOST done with issue #13 of LatB and will have them final pages on here this weekend so please come back and check that out!

More (very) soon! Bear hugs!

Just a quick one this week…

…as I’m super busy!

So it was not only great to be back at MCM Manchester but also back in Manchester itself (where among other things I got to try a new Mac & Cheese eatery – review coming soon!)

With this and my new day job (Eeeee!) it’s been a bit of a juggling act getting on with the updates for issue #13 but I’m almost done!

I’m going to post about putting these final pages together in more detail at a later point but for the moment here’s a before and after of one of the splash panels!

The spacing of everyone (including additional characters from the updated issue #12) took a bit of work but a lot of my time has been lost to updating (and updating again and again and AGAIN) the speech bubbles!

But hey, what do you think of the new panel?

As I said at the start this is a short blog this week as I really want to get back to updating these final pages but more very soon!

Bear hugs!

And now for something (not) completely different…

So I recently sent a Carol Danbears pun print off to LatB and Captain Marvel fan Evelyn who very kindly sent me back a picture that she drew of Bear!

I was absolutely blown away by this and immediately stuck it up in the ‘art gallery’ in our house (that being the kitchen doors above the workspace area)

Thank you so much for this Evelyn! It’s awesome!

This gave me a real kick to keep working on the ongoing task of updating issue #13!

Also, don’t forget that if you’re in Manchester this weekend we’re at MCM Comic Con! Can’t wait!

More soon, bear hugs!

PS. And hey, as always, if anyone else wants to send in LatB art I’ll see about posting it on here too!
