Happy Birthday Your Majesty!

Queen Elizabeth is 90 today, here's a little comic dedicated to our beloved monarch.

2016: Oozing Wound Fascination

Hello hello. I've been working continually on a lot of quite in depth projects over the last couple of years, so it's with some excitement that hopefully 2016 is the year when some of these will see the light of day. I'm thinking of also taking a bit of an ill-advised step into the world of lo-fi illustration zines, though feel free to talk me out of this. In the meantime, here's some collected shonky photos of some dubious work that's seeped out on Twitter over the last few months. Onwards and upwards!

 

Cavernous and crepuscular opinions on The Apprentice. Serious kvlt shit. As it is, this benighted young man called it early and backed the winner.

An official Khorne Berzerker Product review for yet another excellent Williams Brothers beer. For completion's sake I should probably do the other Chaos Gods, but I don't know if I want to draw a bunch of Slaaneshi Penis Marines.

You can simultaneously indulge your interest in making profoundly stupid art about ridiculous things while shamelessly baiting for RTs and Faves on Twitter by combining a current topical issue with a hugely successful and beloved television program. But you won't necessarily get those Faves, and then you'll just feel cheap.

I thought I'd have a go at The Mooks' Draw Stormtroopers project. There's an abundance of incredible stuff here.

 

Sheldon. Ghnuzunga.

Sometimes you just lose your fucking mind and hold up a Greggs.

 

A reflective self-portrait. I watched Attack On Titan and it led to some profound thoughts.

 

Positive vibe emanation at MCM Birmingham.

He's not wrong though.

 

Sweet mood ring, Bro.

It was National Burger Day back in August. About a week later it was National Cheeseburger Day. No one's flying the plane.

 

Getting in on that "Draw Andy Oliver of Broken Frontier" action. Sorely tempted to write some of those ludicrous comics whirling about him.

Lurching Toward Legitimacy...!

It's possible but unlikely that you might have seen my ill-conceived prank in which my "successful line of children's adventure fiction Foes Forever" was presented on the shelves of Waterstones...

Well look here if it isn't me and Iain Laurie's books, genuinely and legitimately available in Waterstones of Argyl Street Glasgow, and the Graphic Novels of the Month at that!

A sincere thanks to Waterstones for having our work in store, and for the generous feature spot!

FutureQuaking

You can find a new strip by me in the new issue of one of the UK's best-known indie-press stalwarts, FutureQuake. Issue #21 is out now and features a haul of talented folks including Gibson Quarter and Dave Thomson and is available from the FutureQuake Shop.

 

"Monster's Brawl" - a five page strip written by me, with art by the very talented Sam Weller and lettered by by Bolt-01. Oddly enough this was originally for sister publication Something Wicked, but was bumped into its futuristic shelf-mate to plug an untimely gap. Here's a wee preview:

I'm aiming to look just like this guy in a few years from now.

Many thanks to FutureQuake Chief Bolt-01 for having us over!

A Fabulous Voyage Through Time...

Time Travel is a dangerous business, and should only be used for the most serious of purposes.

With the temporally troubled talents of Paul McCann, a man who would most certainly like to be living in the world 100 years from now.

You'll Kill Us All!

Is this a bit clever - or just a bit shite? Only in your heart can you decide...

And here's what became of the doomed pair. What an ignominious end...

I can't possibly be the first person to draw a comic on a balloon. And it is kind of shite. But what you gonna do? Thanks to Sarah Connor for the borrowed dialogue.
