I have finally, finally, FINALLY finished updating the pages of issue #14. I say pages as I really want to go and update the cover but all in all, yup, that’s me done!

And this here was my final panel and (yet again) it was adding fingers to one of the lead characters(!)

All in all, not a tough one to do so I was really thankful!

And thinking ahead for what work I’m going to do over the holiday season? Well I’m going to tinker with doing the new cover but I’m really hoping to play around with a completely new concept that I mentioned some time back but never spoke about again (oooh, mystery!). Then in January I’ll come back to doing the colouring for both issues #14 and #15 (which means I actually get to show you full colour panels for a change! Yay!)

And hey, maybe I’ll get back to doing some actual Urp! strips! I’ve really been terrible at keeping up to date with that!

But hey, more soon!

Bear hugs!

Another Christmas Mac & Cheese miracle!

London Southbank always has a great food market on the weekends but over Christmas it really ramps things up with the addition of the Christmas market which adds a whole new range of tasty culinary choices every day of the week!

One of these choices (if it’s even a choice because, y’know, I see Mac & Cheese I have to have it!) is The Mac Shack!

Wait, no, not updating issue #14 but more just updating page 20 of issue #14!

(In my last post I did say that I take my good time!)

But yeah, the final full page update is done and I’ve only a few panels left to go! But hey, what do you think of the page?

I’ve taken some bits from previous attempts and added with a bunch of new panels and I’m really happy with the result! Way more interesting that how it use to look I figure!

And with that I’m back to work! Sorry for the short post this week I really want to get this book finished off before Christmas!

More soon! Bear hugs!

How long did that take me?!?

From time to time I get asked how long a book takes me to put together. My answer is always the same in how I say I try and get a book out every three months and that a panel takes about an hour to draw.

I feel sometimes I get judged by that remark as my work is pretty simple. Now when I say panel I mean quarter of a page, sadly this panel below of Bear punching and there being a flash behind the punch took me well over an hour and is only the third of a normal size panel…

It hurts. I get so obsessed to the point I’m checking a panel pixel by pixel. I really wish I could just draw and move on but it’s not me. Symmetry, spacing and positioning are super crazy important to my mental well being and it really holds me up.

Y’know, I sometimes feel I get judged when I reply to the question of how long it takes me to do my books as it’s kinda simple but I sure hope that you guys enjoy my panel layouts!

(But also my art too!)

More soon! Bear hugs!

Christmas is on it’s merry way and I’m reaping the rewards by having a whole host of new eateries to try thanks to the number of Christmas markets popping up around London!

The other day I got to try Quack ‘N’ Mac’s Christmas offering of Mac with Duck Confit, Sage and Onion Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce!
