banal pig 4 cover!!!!!:-OMFG!

Filed under: BANAL PIG IV, banal pig, banal pig 3

oh yes! what a mouthwatering titbit! dont get your purse out yet though, he’s still a couple of months away. i had to finish the cover to include it in the availabe titles in the collected banal pigs 1-3, which is virtually finished and will be ready in a couple of weeks.

as pig lovers will be aware, its the first banal pig proper with a full colour cover, and the back cover will be more of the same with the rest of the 40-odd characters that appear in it, innit. bear with me friends, nearly there!

Round Michael Douglas’s House

round_michael_douglas_house

So, as described previously, here is the audio recording of Round Michael Douglas’s House, as read by Sleazy Dan Lester and recorded by Gemma Cantlow (apart from writing it, i didnt have much to do with it really). You can still listen to the entire broadcast from the archives of at www.resonancefm.com i think, to hear fun things from Gareth and Dan Locke, plus some very avant garde music. anyway, enjoy, put it in on your ipod, send it to your mum etc.

ken maynard and the wireless

Filed under: Uncategorized

this is a linocut i did recently of ken maynard, who was a cowboy. i like to do linoprints from time to time, it’s a nice media, and i am a trained master printmaker (as you can tell). as with all my artwork, its available to buy, so let me know if you’re interested.

fans (or toleraters) of my series “round (someone’s) house” may be interested that a brand new adventure, Round Michael Douglas’s House, read by Sleazy Dan Lester will be on the radio on thursday. to be precise, on thursday at 5pm on resonance fm and online as a podcast at www.resonancefm.com. handsome gareth “man man” van brookes is also on there, plus other small press faces from the uk, and its put together by friend of the pig and small press aficianado Gemma Cantlow. should be well worth a listen.

Filed under: Uncategorized

so here’s the nearly finished cover to the collected issues 1-3. he’s going to be reading the very same comic. ha! shouldnt be too long until this is finished, it’s gonna be handy A5 size, 80 pages. Banal Pig 4 is still rumbling along and should hopefully be ready for the birmingham con in october, but definitely the leeds thought bubble in november. i know it’s taking a long time pig lovers, but it’ll be worth it, i promise youse.

I’ve fancied it up a bit though.

seeing the original post, i realised i’ve let this blog’s 2 year anniversary pass by without noticing. thanks for reading pig lovers! cheers!

another banal pig 4 preview

Filed under: Jolly Bear and Fun Coconut Summer Special 2, banal pig 4, untitled cat

here’s another preview from banal pig 4, the beginning of the jolly bear old testament story, and is the link page from the untitled cat strip featuring good old untitled ghost. it’s the same ink wash style i used for the jolly bear summer special 2, although i’m drawing over it in pen too to give it a tighter finish, and each of the images will be a full page. i’m doing a bit of digital grayscale on one or two of the strips too to give things a different look. nice.
