Once upon a time, I worked in a shop and I met a man called Dick Hogg who is a proper graphic designer. People pay him with money to make things for them. REAL PEOPLE give him REAL MONEY for him to make REAL THINGS!!!
Aside from being an all-together top guy, Dick also likes pens - which is why his Jessica Fletcher makes me laugh. His picture is what happens when his passion for pens and my (purely innocent) passion for Jessica Fletcher collide.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Look! It's a Jessica Fletcher drawn by the ever lovely Lizz Lunney!
HOORAY!
If Lizz and I formed a band, it would be be very polite and the artwork would probably involve lots of unicorns or cats.
Lizz owns a Murder She Wrote puzzle which I imagine is the toughest sort of puzzle known to mankind. She sent me a photo of it to prove it exists. I wish I had some Jessica Fletcher stuff...
Baz and I work together and he is a proper DJ on the side...whilst I'm a two-bit drawer with low self-esteem. Still, he's super ace and submitted this Jessica Fletcher for Jessica Fletcher Week - made entirely on Microsoft Word. In your face Photoshop!
YES! Howard Hardiman of Cute But Sad fame sent this along as part of the "People I Like Draw Jessica Fletcher." Jessica looks pretty sassy in this picture and I like the fact she's wearing both make up and her trademark sleuthing coat.
Juan totally drew this. He won't let me link this picture to his blog or anything though. Weird. He claims he could do better with a proper a pencil rather than one of those Ikea ones. Regardless, I think it is amazing. Good work Juan!
I've emailed other drawing people I know/admire so hopefully this will be the first of many Jessica Fletchers!
Following on from the awesomeness of the last comic, I've decided that next week (as of tomorrow) is Jessica Fletcher Week. There will be a different Jessica Fletcher related comic each day (unless I forget to upload it).
Just made it back from Comiket at the ICA. What a peculiar day!
It got off to a pretty weird start since the ENTIRE train line I normally use was down. There were no trains. None. Zero. Zilch. Still, using my Super Bus Powers I got to the ICA a bit later than planned. Still, I had a quarter of a table and found myself between Aidan Koch and a girl who I thought was called Blossom but was actually called Joceline. It was a little squished and pretty awkward at first but it turned out that they were both lovely. Phew.
I wasn't selling anything new - just the stuff I took to MCM Expo really...but pushed together to fit across a 30cm wide space. Oh dear. Still, I did my best and gave out all my flyers and sold a little. The most exciting thing about the whole afternoon was meeting lots of new people. Some had beards. Some had stories. Pretty much all of them were awesome. Hooray!
Speaking of awesome people, Lizz, Bryony, Phil and Howard were all there too. HOWEVER! There was a SHOCKING DISCOVERY! Neither Lizz, Bryony or Phil had ever heard of one of the greatest pop songs of all time! I am, of course, talking about this:
So yeah. We went for food and I had a really nice time. The little money I made was spent on a taxi home because of the stupid trains and tomorrow is a new day.
In regards to drawing and stuff, I've been making some new characters/rejigging some old ones. Here is one of them:
Are you ready for The Super Virgins? The answer is probably no. Better get ready!
