Moose Kid Comics Christmas Special

Jamie Smart's all-ages anthology Moose Kid Comics has a Christmas Special out today, and I'm one of the 27 artists contributing seasonal strips.  This time in Big Things Hiding Behind Small Things, Sir Tiny Smallbottom is on a pun-infused wintery expedition in search of the Yeti...

The full comic can be viewed for free at moosekidcomics.com.  Jamie has also set up a brilliant scheme to get printed copies of Moose Kid into children's hospitals and similar venues where they can help brighten the lives of kids having a rough time of it.  Please contribute at crowdfunding.justgiving.com/moosekidcomics.

Drawing In Colour

I've been dissatisfied with my working practices (and the end results) for a while now and have started putting some changes into effect that will hopefully make creating artwork easier and more enjoyable for me.

Part of this is a renewed focus on proper experimentation in my sketchbook.  I've started dicking about with cheap felt pens, building up characters in blocks of colours, with limited line work.  It's pretty rough at the moment, but I'm feeling reinvigorated by the process, so it's definitely doing some good.

Moose Kid 2 in print

Behold Jamie Smart's Moose Kid 2 in glorious print.  It really is beautiful - massive and printed on lovely paper stock.  I've got a one-page story in there, continuing the questionable adventures of Sir Tiny Smallbottom, short-sighted monster hunter.

This is one of a short run of contributor copies, but there are some limited stocks available at the Cartoon Museum and Gosh! Comics in London, so get to it.  Otherwise, you can read the whole thing for free online.
