COUPLEDOM IS HERE!

Finally, the long-awaited (by me at least) follow-up to Melanchomic is out.

While the last comic was very much about being in your early-to-mid 20s, unlucky in love and socially inept, this volume is about being in your mid-to-late 20s and in a relationship with someone who's simultaneously the love of your life, your best friend and a crazy mental person who has broken into your house and is holding you hostage with a homemade shiv.

In truth, it's just and excuse for more swearing and stupid conversations, but if you're the kind of person who gets a kick out of the autobio work of James Kochalka, Marc Ellerby or Liz Prince you should get a kick out of it.

Copies are available via my online shop.

I'm the only illustrator in NARC. again this month - illustrating both the 'Opinions' page at the back, and the 'Pub Quiz' page with a Bruce Springsteen illustration.


Make sure to check it out if you live in the North East.

I'm in NARC. again this month - illustrating the 'Opinions' page at the back with a Michael Jackson illustration.

The original concept for the piece was a lot more elaborate and offensive, but I cut it down - not so much to censor myself, but because it was getting too cluttered to work.

I think the published piece works well to illustrate the article.

Make sure to check it out if you live in the North East.

I have an illustration in the July issue of NARC. the fantastic (and free) music paper.  It can be picked up from numerous outlets in the North East.

I'm on the 'pub quiz' page, illustrating a question with a picture of indie legend Jarvis Cocker.

I have a couple of illustrations on art blogs.

Firstly, I did an illustration of Serge Gainsbourg for Jonathan Edward's Draw Serge! blog.

Then the reimagined comic book cover I submitted to Robert Goodin's Covered blog got posted.

Both of these illustrations can also be seen in my Photos.

robots...and that anthology


This year I have become a member of the Newcastle comics group Paper Jam Comics and am proud to be a contributer to their fifth comics anthology "Robots...And That".  The launch will be at the Star And Shadow Cinema in Newcastle on Friday 29th May, from 7.30pm onwards.


As well as being the first place to bask in the glory of the new comic, there will be film screenings and live music (from SquaresDie Narcissi and Sleepwalk) for your entertainment and cakes and sweets to fill your stomach and make you feel a little bit sick.


Entry will be £3.00 for cinema members and £4.00 for everybody else.


Come along and show your support!

The beginning of 2009 has had a strange effect on me and I'm attempting to get all productive and that.


The results can be seen posted regularly(ish) on my new blog .



Apologies for the lack of a link, but Myspace seems to be unnecessarily suspicious of my blog. Jealous perhaps?


I have also set up an online shop, where you can pick up copies of my previous effort Melanchomic as well as any future comics and other creative endeavours.
