So as of this morning I’m a full eight pages in to the updated copy of issue #12 of Lloyd and the Bear!

I’ve been adding in some crazy detail and the page here is our giant reveal of the big bad for issue #12! (Hey, I know he doesn’t look that menacing but bear with me on this – Oh! And hey, check it! A pun! I know, me? Puns? Who would have thought?!)

So yeah, this is also the second splash page for this book and absolutely not the last! Good thing I’ve planned to increase the page count on this one!

And who is this guy? I’ll fill you in with more details soon and also tell you of some other projects I’m working on just now!

More soon!

Bear hugs!

Okay, so I really should be in bed but I’m still buzzing from an absolutely amazing weekend at MCM London! So many people stopped by our booth – those who have met us before and also those who are new to the adventures of Lloyd and Bear and man, it was ALL good!

I know I’ve said this so many times before but I do absolutely mean it – there was so much good chat this weekend and it was SO AWESOME!!!!!

So yeah, if you’re new here please check out the site! We’ve tabs to our Facebook and Twitter pages (Instagram on the way once I post more!) plus links to our online comics and then stores for our books and t-shirts! Everything is available to click on by either columns down the side of the page or the tabs at the top!

Currently I’m super focused on issue #12 so lacking that many posts on here (sorry!) but please do follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter for more regular posts!

Finally, thanks again to not only everyone who stopped by our table this weekend but then came on here to check out what we’re up to! Seriously, you guys are great and I know that may sound a wee bit cheesy but I TOTALLY mean it!

THANK YOU!

So okay, more soon but apologies already if I don’t post here quick enough – hey, got to get issue #12 done! Eeeeee!

Bear hugs!

A new parody print (and the joy of recycling more art!)

Blimey! It’s been over two months since my last post on here!

Okay, quick catch-up! I’ve done two conventions, several commissions, got on with updating issue #12 and hey, done a new print parodying Power Rangers (and a massive thanks to two of our fans who came up with the awesome idea)

But hey! There’s more (okay, this may be more of a personal win but still)! So when it came to working on the Red Rangers belt buckle I was trying to cartoon up the dinosaur but it just wasn’t happening. I then had the brainwave of using the T-Rex from my old Furassic Park print!

I really do love grabbing pieces of my old work and being able to use it again! It’s not a lazy thing but more I always feel that every piece I create should have it’s moment in the sun and not to be left in a folder somewhere not seeing the digital light of day.

So yeah, Furassic World may be in the past but the T-rex is getting another moment to shine! Yay!

I’ll try and pop back more soon with further updates!

Don’t forget to keep checking our Conventions page to see where we’re going to be next (like this weekend when we’re in Glasgow at MCM Scotland!!!)

More soon! Bear hugs!

It’s July!

Okay, so it’s been July for a couple of days now but hey, still worth celebrating!

And celebrating we are! Firstly I’ve finally got my act together and actually advertising that I’m available for doing commissions prior to London Super Comic Con in August! This is something I keep meaning to mention but never get around to doing so a personal win for me right there!

Secondly we’re off to Cardiff this weekend for Cardiff Independent Comic Expo! I’m super excited about this and not only because it’s also Small Press Day 2017! I missed out getting a table last year and was really disappointed but this time table got and the communication and updates with the organisers have been awesome so feeling really good about this one! Plus hey, I’m going to be in Cardiff so that in itself is a win!

Lots of wins in this post! So yeah, if you’re in or around Cardiff this Saturday please come and see us!

More soon! Bear hugs!

Our Penultimate #FursdayFump – wait, what?

So just over a year ago I was talking to a friend who suggest I should try posting out random pictures of Bear dressed as famous comic characters.

I had a wee think about it and decided upon having Bear dress up as if he was doing cosplay and with that in mind every Thursday I posted a different pic of him on Twitter and Facebook and went with the tag #FursdayFump

Now hey, did I mention that I was going to do this project on my page here? I….. don’t think I did? Humph. Yeah, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. #idiot

The whole thing was going to start in a weeks time with Bear as Bananaman but as is usual with me I broke my own rule and did a cheeky early pic referencing the World Cup! Now in my heart I’m still saying that next week is the year anniversary of doing #FursdayFump’s and also the end point of this project.

What do I do next? Don’t know! I do know that I’m going to see about putting all the pictures (along with any extra ones I did along the way) and auction them for charity but it’s going to take me a wee while to put that all together!

So yeah, please check out the ‘Fumps – here’s today’s one which is the AWESOME Spider-Gwen!

More soon! Bear hugs!

PS. I’m ending #FursdayFump in style with a double one that’s also a pun and will also (hopefully) make a sister-in-law of mine well chuffed!

PPS. I’m now thinking maybe I did mention #FursdayFump on here…. I’ll need to check!
