I'm ashamed to admit this was drawn using my girlfriend's mac.

Theme 038 Abandoned

2011-07-10T13:32:00.000-07:00

I did draw another comic for this theme that I hadn't got around to posting, but then I got a WACOM tablet and this happened.

Theme 037 Eyes

2011-07-01T19:02:00.000-07:00

Geneticists are crazy ass.

Theme 036 Precious Treasure

2011-06-28T13:40:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I missed a few updates.

2008 - bought Xbox.

2009 - Got girlfriend and grew a beard.

2010 - Moved in with girlfriend.

2011 - Survived the rapture.

London Underground Comics: No Barcodes

2008-05-30T14:56:00.001-07:00

Well tomorrow I'm going to try and sell my comic, Eyetopus at No Barcodes. Here's something that I decided not to include for looking too crap. I quite like it and may redraw it.

Theme 035 Hold my hand

2008-05-17T14:39:00.000-07:00

I should probably point out that Dave is not a homophobe, but I don't know that for sure.

Theme 034 Stars

2008-05-10T10:33:00.000-07:00

Eyetopus fun!

2008-04-24T14:44:00.000-07:00

An Eyetopus is something I drew on an evelope while on hold.

An Eyetopus is also a comic collection.

An Eyetopus is also something you can print out and make.

I am not dead.

Theme 033 Expectations

2008-04-01T12:39:00.000-07:00

Back in my after school club days I trained the kids to shout yay every time I said "Hi I'm back" much to the annoyence of my coworkers. I'm tempted to do it with my new class now that I'm a teacher.

Theme 032 Night

2008-03-31T14:53:00.000-07:00

Night bears are like vampire bears but bigger.

Hate Mail

2008-03-30T11:55:00.000-07:00

Why are you so mean to Rabbit Eating Monster?

Currently I'm moving and have not yet hooked up a scanner. Now I have to prepare for my first day of work.

My Trip to Bristol

2008-03-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

Despite using a blog site, most of what I post here is fiction. This however is not:

How to make awesome dip:

1)put some natural yoghurt in a bowl

2)add grated cucumber

3)add mint

4)add a tiny bit of sugar.

Theme 031 Flowers

2008-03-28T14:45:00.000-07:00

You may have seen these guys before:

Theme 030 Under the Rain

2008-03-27T14:39:00.000-07:00

To my knowledge, neither Simon or myself have attempted this technique of picking up girls.

Also for the record, I have never got myself locked out in the rain. I locked myself out once in the snow, but not in the rain.

Theme 029 Happiness

2008-03-26T10:23:00.001-07:00

Dave and I are huge turtles fans. Our friendship started when he got the first movie on video.

Sadly, in reality, there has been no word on a TMNT sequel since June.

Theme 028 Sorrow

2008-03-25T05:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry Dave. Terrorists made me do it.

A comic for my brother David

2008-03-24T16:57:00.000-07:00

In addition to holding my SNES power adapter, Dave is holding the photoshop CD hostage.

As a teacher, one would expect me to spell parade correctly. It's a bank holiday. I'm not being a teacher right now.

Theme 027 Foreign

2008-03-23T16:48:00.000-07:00

Simon and Nick are afraid to admit that I am Canadian because they are xenophobes and that would mean they'd have to fear me.

Theme 026 Tears

2008-03-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

I don't know what's more depressing:the fact that 50 Cent is still being put in movies or that my brother Dave doesn't see anything wrong with that.

Theme 025 Trouble Lurking

2008-03-21T06:24:00.000-07:00

Nuclear scorpion bear doesn't really lurk. It rampages spreading death and destruction.

Garald

2008-03-20T13:08:00.000-07:00

This is Gerald. Gerald is an aspiring actor, but has found it difficult to get work since another zombie ate half his face.

I drew this years and years ago and looking back, it surprises me just how weak it is. The er.. meaty bits came out really good, especially the lower gum, but unfortunately it's ruined by everything else.

Theme 024 No time

2008-03-19T12:44:00.001-07:00

I hate it when this happens.

Theme 023 Cat

2008-03-18T12:51:00.001-07:00

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who think cats are evil, and those who are wrong.

This comic was a quick replacement for one ripping the s- out of Pikey. Damn conscience.

Theme 022 Mother Nature

2008-03-17T02:42:00.000-07:00

Captain Planet is the bomb yo.

Theme 021 Vacation

2008-03-16T13:45:00.000-07:00

Vacation? Bah! In the real world we say holiday.

On the off chance that some American reads this, I'm sorry and I mean no offence by it. Also, STOP CALLING TROUSERS PANTS! Terrorist!

Theme 020 Fortitude

2008-03-15T13:37:00.000-07:00

I lack fortitude, but I have awesome sideburns.

Attention

2008-03-14T12:29:00.000-07:00

Turtle Goat Man will f- you up.

Turtle Goat Man was a doodle I scanned and coloured back in the Ingestre years (long time 'go).

Theme 019 Gray

2008-03-13T12:14:00.000-07:00

I know this should be "grey", but the list was probably made by an American. I've kept the wrong spelling even though it burns my skin.

What the hell?

Rejected comic

2008-03-12T13:44:00.000-07:00

Naughty word warning: The following comic contains a dirty naughty word which is not suitable for under 18s!

This comic was rejected by my editor on the grounds that it's got too much pop culture.
I guess this is a hidden blessing because it's replacement comic is so awesome. I can't post that here because it's so awesome it'd make your eyes bleed. Also, my editor has instructed me not to post it on my blog till the issue of Decadence it appears in is out.

By my editor, I mean my brother. Fight terrorism! Buy Decadence! Peace out homies.

Theme 018 Rainbow

2008-03-11T15:32:00.000-07:00

For those who do not know:
Zippy
Bungle

Now I have to go watch Transformers.

Theme 017 Blood

2008-03-10T13:30:00.000-07:00

Xop Man

2008-03-09T07:46:00.001-07:00

Xop Man was a superhero. His super power was that he drove the Xop mobile. This was drawn in the early 2000s before he sold the Xop mobile and became a terrorist. His nemesis appears in tommorows' theme!

Theme 016 Questioning

2008-03-08T06:57:00.000-08:00

Anti-climatic concluding post.

Theme 015 Silence

2008-03-07T06:26:00.000-08:00

Part 3 of this epic tale as part of the 100 themes challenge. Concludes tommorrow.

Ted

2008-03-06T13:43:00.000-08:00

I drew this back in '02

This is Ted.
Ted likes walks in the park and places with waterfalls. Ted is also a keen tennis enthusiast.

Theme 014 Smile

2008-03-05T14:47:00.000-08:00

Part 2 of this epic tale as part of the 100 themes challenge.

While down in my little sketch book is rough, I haven't finished it and right now I'm kinda keen to get another project done and find a place to live so tune in tomorrow for stuff I did in the past! Woo!

Theme 013 Misfortune

2008-03-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

Thus starting an epic story over a multitude of themes. Tune in tomorrow when we see what happens next.

Theme 012 Insanity

2008-03-03T05:44:00.000-08:00

People who choose watching sport over movies are insane.

Tattoos for Rob (or other people)

2008-03-02T00:45:00.000-08:00

So my mate Rob asked me to design a tattoo for him. He had been drinking at the time. Here are 8 possible designs. Feel free to use one if you want a tattoo, apart from number 3, which requires a application form to be filled in, a written exam and a fee. Fee is non-refundable even if application is unsucessful.

Theme 011 Memory

2008-03-01T12:49:00.000-08:00

Captain Slicer and Monster Bander love avacados.

Theme 010 Breathe Again

2008-02-29T02:39:00.000-08:00

Sorry this one's a bit crap. It's partially because I didn't want to be boring and do a fart joke, but mainly because of terrorists.

However, tune in tomorrow for the greatest comic strip ever TM.

Theme 009 Drive

2008-02-28T03:20:00.000-08:00

Theme 008 Innocence

2008-02-27T13:23:00.000-08:00

In reality, while I might turn down "coffee", I'd never turn down coffee, unless it was decaf.

Theme 007 Heaven

2008-02-26T01:07:00.000-08:00

Today's theme features Simon. Simon likes cars, rugby and ruining Christmas.

Theme 006 Break Away

2008-02-25T13:36:00.000-08:00

I keep asking people for jobs, but all they want to give me is forms. Terrorists!

Theme 005 Seeking Solace

2008-02-24T13:59:00.000-08:00

I used the wrong pen!

The 10 scariest things in the world

2008-02-23T03:44:00.000-08:00

I drew this about this time last year in a particularly boring lecture when the lecturer mentioned fears. This was the birth of Nuclear Scorpion Bear. He's been stalking me ever since.

Theme 004 Dark

2008-02-22T06:27:00.000-08:00

Thus concluding this shocking two part adventure.

Important

2008-02-21T06:11:00.001-08:00

Hey!
If you haven't seen this trailer yet, something is very very wrong.

Theme 003 Light

2008-02-21T04:49:00.000-08:00

In reality I would never break into Dave's house to play his xbox. My Wii is better.

Hello!

2008-02-18T21:34:00.000-08:00

So this is my new blog. I've had other blogs before, but they all kind of died out due to boredom, bears, the great Buncefield fire of '05 and/or terrorism.

So this blog will be a place for me to post images and comics I have made through the ages and write a little about them, much like this image here and what I am about to write about it. Also I'll post my entries to the 100 themes challenge and whatever else I feel like posting.

Umm anyway, the picture. This is a self portrait I drew back in 2002. On that day, my housemates Simon and Dee went with some other mates to a car show leaving me in the house with the guy downstairs who among other things, wanted to call the police because trick or treaters came to the door and put frozen sausages in his computer in the belief that it needed extra cooling while he installed Windows. On this particular day, he had computer problems and I was left trying to fix whatever he fucked up so I could get online. It was a good day though because Si and Dee came back and gave me a plastic bow and arrows. I accidently shot the guy downstairs, but I didn't mind too much.
