The lovely Jamie McKelvie will shortly be releasing issue one of his awesome comic goodness, Suburban Glamour. If the 6 page preview on his site is anything to go by, it’s going to be fantastic!
Yours truly was lucky enough to be asked to supply a pinup for the issue and I happily obliged.
Check the image out and don’t forget to buy the comic! ^__^

Well, barely have I set foot back in the country when I’m getting ready to set off again….I love my house and my man, I really do! >_<
This time, Japan is due to fall prey to my geekness as Sonia and myself prepare for a whirlwind book tour.

It’s going to be HOT over there and I fear I’m going to end up looking like a sweaty Gaijin no matter what I do. haha. Luckily the hotels, studios and wherever-we-gos should all have air con. *phew*

We’re heading over courtesy of SelfMadeHero (the publishers of manga shakespeare) and I think it should be good fun as well as hard work. we’ve been allowed one day for PLAY and that means buy buy buy - oh yes indeedy!
On a serious note, it’s a little scary - once again we’re treading where no UK manga artist has trod before..eeep! How did I get here again?? 0_o

So - take care all and see you on my return! ^__^

It’s known to several of my friends that I ADORE the Bonelli comic series, Dylan Dog. In fact, long before manga got a look in, the works of the Italian artists on the DD project were enthralling me. It’s a series that has seen many different artists, from the wonderful to the downright ugly, but the writing is always fabulous and Dylan’s character deserves so much more recognition in the world of comics beyond Italy’s borders. Sadly the comic’s only foray into english was a rather annoying 6 book Dark Horse deal where Dylan’s manservant and friend Groucho (Marx) was changed into Felix and had his tash removed - negating so much of the series’ humour >_<

Anyways, I'm always on about more recognition and yet have never actively done very much, so I joined a fanlisting! haha - at least I get to spread the link around and maybe just a few people will get curious?

There’s so little on that site ;_; So little in general….even work by my favourite artist, Giovanni Freghieri is so hard to find!! >_<

Something a bit fun….and risque. Oooer ^_~

I’m back in the country for a whole 2 weeks before Japan!
And lookie, just managine to squeeze in an event. ^_~
