Considering I write for a living, I really need to post to my blog more. Apologies to both my readers. From now on I'm going to make an effort to post at least once a month, which is exactly the sort of thing people always say on blogs and is generally followed by another 6 months of silence. Let's see how it goes. So here's what I've been up to lately that I can talk about.....
I'm currently in the middle of a colouring job for a 32 page comic, literally in the middle, I'm on page 16. I'll post some pages from that when it's published. I set up a page with a few samples of
my colouring work here. I'm still, several years in, helping out on Aidan Lacy's Infinite Timelines project, reimagining (literally) hundreds of comic book covers as Legion of Superheroes covers.
You can see those here.
The world's greatest living poet, Jim Templeton has a book of Poetry out next month that I edited. It's a collection covering the last 40 years of Jims work."The Ramifications of Felix". Here's the cover-
I'd talk about the book I'm working on with John Watson, but it's become such a complicated tale. It started as a DC project, then an indie comic, then a novel, then a series of novels. Now we're writing a book about writing the book, as well as writing separate books. If any of these ever get finished, they will be great.
I got a kitten, who is ace, everyone should have a cat. Cat's are great. Here she is....
I'm also very excited that I'm due to become a Grandfather for the first time this year, hard to believe I know, but despite my appearance, I'm not actually in my early twenties.
I spent a few days at Elstree Studios recently, waiting to appear on a Gameshow, but it was a rollover type show so I ended up enjoying a nice hotel and Green Room snacks for 3 days and then got the train home without actually being filmed, so complete waste of time, but I did meet some nice people.
The new Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis movie
"Yesterday" is out in a couple of months. I spent a day on set pretending to be Russian, so look forward to finding out I've been cut out of any scenes I'm in.
I'm doing a week as an "artist in residence" next month, so that should be interesting, I'll let you know how that goes. I will be a guest at a couple of comic conventions and one literary convention in the next few months, I'll post a list soon. If you would like me as a guest/speaker at your event, drop me a line using the form on the right. Or visit my
lit fest profile page for more info.
Thanks for reading. See you next month....probably.
