From the United States! It was a fantastic month, and I had a great time seeing some cool places, meeting new people and catching up with friends. I also got engaged, which I’d describe as the high point of my trip (which was itself fairly full of high points to begin with)!

In other news, I fixed the blog — again — as apparently none of the recent posts were displaying to anyone but me, for some reason. Since I’m usually logged in when visiting my own blog anyway, it wasn’t drawn to my attention until the other day.

More (and more interesting) news to follow in the coming week! For now though, time for me to get back to work :)

My Neighbor Totoro Baby Shower Invite

Here’s something I did last year for some friends of mine; they needed an invitation made up for a baby shower and wanted something a little different, so they asked if I could do something with Totoro and pals from the (fantastic) Studio Ghibli movie My Neighbor Totoro. This was a lot of fun to do, even though it was fairly simple, and apparently Travis & Jessica were very happy with it too!

(I actually finally got to meet their kid a few weeks back, and she is just adorable!)

Birthday Hobbit sketch

A little doodle I did in a birthday card earlier this week — think they’ve got it by now so ought to be safe to post!

(Birthday Hobbits are the done thing these days, right?)

Fun with Wheatley

Click to see animated!

More Portal 2 art! Animated pixel piece of Chell and Wheatley this time, kinda inspired by oktotally’s kickass stuff.

As far as I’m aware, this is my first attempt at pixel animation (or pixel art at all for that matter), kinda happy with how it turned out!

Chell

So I drew Chell from Portal 2 during a sketch warmup, and then got a little carried away with it. (Click to embiggen)

Posted this up on my new Tumblr, where I’ll hopefully be uploading some extra stuff from time to time, on a more casual basis!

Every year I do some silly Christmassy illustrations in the cards I send out — I only managed to scan a couple in before sending them all out, but figured I’d upload those anyway! I think it’s clear that I have the spirit of Christmas down in these cards:

For the kids!

Happy hunting!

I hope everybody has had/is having a wonderful holiday, whatever you celebrate, if you celebrate at all! And if you don’t, then have an awesome weekend!

Probably not the best sign when, out of two options, the Muppet is the most convincing. Just sayin'.

A short while back I was able to watch the Star Wars movies again, all the way from I through to VI. Both trilogies were very different, in the way they were put together and executed, and it was interesting to take a retrospective glance at those differences in production. That retrospective glance led to this comic, which in turn led to the following post, which gets kinda nerdy/ranty — consider yourself warned!

UPDATE: Well that was kind of fun. May try it again sometime, if I think more people might be interested.

This week sees the return of my dad, who is awesome.
Expiration dates, however, are somewhat less awesome!

This week’s comic sees the return of Mister Kent, and takes place in a cocktail bar in Manchester.

I’m not really sure what else there is to add. There are just those times when you just gotta squint. Y’know?

You know.

Had two ideas for this week’s (belated) strip. This is neither! This kinda happened and then it kinda was a comic.

Also a couple of notes about this comic:
-It’s the first strip to be drawn and inked traditionally since number 100!
-It’s the last strip for at least the next two weeks to be mainly Chris-focal! Rejoice, for you get a break from my freakish mug!

OHGODTHEFEAR

I got home today, and found this note waiting for me as I walked in. Nice!

The good news is no, that isn’t actually my Hard Drive.

The other good news is that I now have an old HDD and circuit board to play around with for my design experiments, which is always fun!

The latest comic is up, and deals with the very real issue of certain, specific things happening. Which is an issue that affects more of us than we might think!

Maybe.

Okay, evidently my auto update schedule was full of fail and ended up not working – the comic updated on time yesterday, but this blog post never went up. So here it is! Taste its bloggy goodness! Mmmm…

Goes down smooth.
