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!

I love Birthday’s. Especially mine. But I also love celebrating others and getting them gifts too!

But seriously, you should totally treat yourself if you’ve gone and bought a really cool gift.

(If you bought a gift card then no gift for you. NO GIFT!)

So when visiting my local comic shop yesterday to pick up my new comics (new comic book day, yay!) I saw a print that looked sooooo cool but did I need it? Where to put it? Did I have the spare cash for it?

And man, those questions kept going on in my head as I left the store, went back to work and continued for the next four odd hours! BUT, I managed to resist the temptation!

And now for something different…

I love, love, LOVE telling the stories of Lloyd and the Bear (and all the gubbins that goes with it) but I really like to push myself and want to try something different that’s not set in the LatB universe.

I have an idea, I know what the main characters look like and a few things about them, I’ve worked out the main character’s name, I’ve a concept and a rough working title but what I don’t have if a definitive look for the artwork.

You see, I’m pretty good at doing different styles of art and I don’t want to do the same look as LatB so I’m left with a lot of choices but also at the same time I don’t want something that’s heavily detailed as I don’t want this to take me away from LatB!

So back on Saturday, inspired by Small Press day, I started sketching out the main characters and here’s what I’ve come up with so far!

I’m really happy with this but have SO MUCH MORE work to do and will be sure to update you guys as I get on with this – plus create a new avatar just for these posts(!)

And hey, going back to Lloyd and the Bear news I’ve been (slowly) busy with updating the final pages of issue #13 while also preparing for MCM Manchester (which isn’t that far away now!)

So as always, busy! More soon!

Bear hugs!

Wait, shouldn’t Friday be stress free?

We plan our shop for the week but only get as far as Thursday. The one rule in our house is that Friday dinner should be easy to put together and stress free. Other than that it can be anything (but usually vegan and healthy to boot so not quite ‘anything’).

But today we haven’t planned! And there’s no fresh veg or that in the house either! This is new territory!!!
