Lately I've been making up lots of patterns. My goal is to make up a selection of pretty, yet simple designs which I can use in my own projects. I've found that making patterns sort of soothing and meditative to me - kind of like quilting by hand. And they are time-consuming, too! I create my patterns using Adobe Illustrator. I draw simple shapes such as dots, hearts, or stars, and add in any colours...

Whilst reading through blogs I have come across the illustrator Dave Quiggle . I've seen some of his work before, but never knew who actually produced it. According to his website Quiggle, "resides in southern California where he creates designs for a myriad of independent hardcore / punk / metal acts, intermittently devoting time to tattooing at Soul Expressions Tattoo in Temecula, CA."...

A PACKED WEEK The last few months have been fairly quiet but things have started to pick up. Although subbing has been absolutely dead for me, I've started to make money from my photos and I've been doing a lot of features and writing. It's very satisfying that the photography, something that I started doing just to get reference for a comic project, may well turn into something more substantial. It...

A short, plucky, and notoriously choleric Frenchman, who celebrates all things French and fiercely protects his country from foreign invaders. Who does that bring to mind? Napoleon Bonaparte? Nicolas Sarkozy? Now imagine a tiny dog and a burly Frenchman next to this hero, and even before this sentence has ended, many would be thinking of Tintin. (Never mind there was no mention of a weird quiff, or...

In 1975, cartoonist and children’s book illustrator Stuart Hample had the bright idea to take the luckless, lovelorn, philosophical persona of Woody Allen—then famous for what the aliens in Allen’s Stardust Memories would later call his “early, funny films”—and turn it into a daily newspaper strip. Amazingly, Allen agreed, and even offered to provide Hample with...
