What's Your Sign?

Good Monday! January is over and it's nearly February...and we all know what that means - Valentine's Day! Uh oh. Should we place bets on how many times I'll end up crying at my desk? Should we start stockpiling microwave-meals-for-one now or later? Either way, here's a romance-themed drawing for you!

IN OTHER NEWS: I had a lovely weekend with lovely people. I'll write a proper post about it later but thanks to everyone that was nice to me.

Angry Birds!

OMG! It's Friday! YAY! And to celebrate - here is a brand new drawing about two very popular things - Justin Bieber and Angry Birds. I'm assuming you all know what Justin Bieber is but if you're not familiar with Angry Birds then don't be sad. It's a popular app game thing on the iPhone (and maybe other platforms too?). You are in control of some birds. They are angry because some pigs have stolen their eggs. I think? And you have to destroy the pigs (and their hideout) by hurling a limited number of birds (angry ones with a variety of powers) at them.

Does that make sense?

Either way - have a great weekend.

The Middle Game!

Today's drawing is more than just four badly drawn panels. It is actually a fun game for you to play with your friends.

It's based on the idea that Beyonce was pretty much always in the middle of all the Destiny's Child (remember them?) photos. Whether this was because she was the most important member or not isn't for me to say. But whenever you're in a group of three, try to worm your way into the middle. Then yell "I'M BEYONCE!" - thus proclaiming yourself the winner of a game that your friends probably weren't aware of. It's up to the other two to decide who is Kelly and who is Michelle. But the important thing is that YOU'RE BEYONCE! HOORAY!

IN OTHER NEWS: I worked late and rushed to a pal's get together. I had a lovely time and met some lovely people. There was a distressing point when I thought I lost my coat (my precious coat!) but it turned up. Phew. And I didn't get to eat dinner. Boo hoo. But yeah - nice people FTW.

Wizarding Wednesday #14

It is WEDNESDAY! If you don't like wizards, you should probably leave.

Right then - only wizard fans here? Phew. Aren't wizards ace? They have hats and robes and dragons and stuff. And I have some more plans for them too! Maybe I will make some wizard badges! Would you like some wizard badges? Let me know!

I don't have much exciting news to report today. I am going on an adventure this weekend! And I'm seeing some pals this evening.

Oh - and for people that only read this for the RSS feed (and don't visit my actual site) - don't forget that I have a Facebook group! HOORAY!

Have a wizarding Wednesday!!!

Terrible Jokes. Worse Drawings #2

BONJOUR! Remember that time I uploaded those Terrible Drawings with even worse jokes? Well - here are some more! Both of them are jokes I was using for real life...but it turns out that the people I tested them out on were NOT amused. The Rihanna joke in particular - which I personally find HILARIOUS, was met with incredible disdain. I was pretty mortified. Seriously.

You know what though? The next time you listen to that Rihanna song ("What's My Name?"), sing along but replace the "oh na na" bits with "ba-na-na." It's so catchy! If I wasn't scared of all the mean comments, I'd record a cover version myself and put it on YouTube...

Speaking of comments - thanks for the support about me pigging out on the chocolate. Today, I had some cookies - but only little ones. Phew.

Toby: Cross Words

Happy Monday you lot. I know you're probably sad about going back to work/school/ninja training camp - but don't be. This week is full of possibilities! Anything could happen! We will totally win this week! YEAH!!

And to help matters, here is a drawing of Toby and Christina. I hope it helps get your week off to a flying start. I spent a lot of the weekend drawing and...um...catching up with television. I watched some amazing stuff. And I drew some cute stuff too. I've cleaned up all the pages for People I Know #12 and have started to colour it in. Normally, this wouldn't take long but I want to try some fun stuff with the colours so it might take a while. And I drew a week's worth of comics...some of which I'm really happy about.

IN OTHER NEWS: I caved in and ate some chocolate. Shame on me...

Real Life: A Serious Drawing

Good day to you! It's Friday! I am so excited about this weekend - I get to see a pal I haven't seen in ages and I'm making them take me on a MEGAWALK around town. I might not have told them about the walking part but I'm still super excited about seeing them.

But yeah. Here's a drawing about friends. It's meant to be a bit of a 'serious' comic because it's about people being mean and there isn't a punchline. I also used it to test out a colouring arrows - something which will be put to further use in a future comic.

What else is there to report? Not much really. I felt a bit weird on Thursday, which is never fun.

IN CONCLUSION: Have a lovely weekend! And don't forget to look after your friends!

Pirates: A Valid Question

Ahoy! It's Thursday! You get pirates today! They've appeared before but this is the first time they have a valid question that needs answering. What do you think the answer is? I would like to know.

Wednesday was fine. It turned out my friend was playing a gig so I went to visit them but I felt a bit weird and ended up going home in a funny mood. Did I already say that I've scanned in People I Know #12? Well I have and will start work on cleaning it this weekend. I'm hoping to have it all sorted in time for the Small Press Expo in March...

UPDATE: I didn't realise, but this Pirate asked a question a while ago. I can't believe I forgot!

Wizarding Wednesday #13

Hello! It's Wednesday! And there's a NEW WIZARD in town! Who is he? What does he do? Will we ever find out his name? Do any of them even have names? Where am I? What's going on?

I'm sure we can all agree that these are very important questions. I should probably answer some of them at some point. But not today because it's Wednesday and we have better things to do with our time. Like looking at drawings of wizards!

I had a busy Tuesday evening. I was meant to meet up with four people at the same time - two of whom I know, and two who I hadn't met before (but the other people had so it was fine). Due to bizarre circumstances, I eventually met up with one I did know and one I didn't. The other two were AWOL. But still, we went for burgers (uh oh) and they were amazing and our waitress was cool and we sat in a nice booth. Then I got an email from one of the AWOL pals (the one I did know) and went to visit him - but only briefly because it was late. I mean, that was a mega busy Tuesday in my books.

IN OTHER NEWS: I registered my interest to have a table at May's MCM Expo. And I'm also booked into a table at this event in March. Hope you can make it!

Being Mooned

Hello! Good news: you survived Monday. Bad news: it's Tuesday. Sorry about that.

So Monday was fine. I slept *really* badly the night before and it was raining when I woke up - but that's just Monday, right? The fun news is that a pal is over from California so we'll get to hang out after work and maybe eat sensible food. Not burgers. Totally no burgers. None at all... Well, maybe one burger?

And here's today's drawing. It's an awful pun and I apologize.. but at least tomorrow's Wednesday, right? And we all know what that means...
