Pikachu..?

So one time Ash got stuck in the dark cave for about a month. Forced to battle for his life against a seemingly endless parade of bat pokemon it was inevitable that his ball dwelling companions would eventually die.

The death of Pikachu hit the hardest. Ash spent a week cradling his broken body, occasionally using it to bludgeon a passing Zubat to provide a quick meal, until his mind cracked.

No one knows exactly what happened in that cave but when Ash finally emerged he was changed. Gone were his pokedex and collection of balls. Gone were his baseball cap and denim jacket. In their place was a ragged suit of Pikachu skin, a wild look in his eyes and a constant grimace as he desperately attempted to use Thundershock.

Ash was never the same again...

Ghost Foetus: Birthday Special

It was my birthday today (or yesterday I suppose, it's nearly 4am). This is a pretty accurate representation of how my day went (except for the party hat, I never wear those).

Actually I lied, cake has no soul so Amy had to do without. She was not best pleased.

Casey Jones

I got my first ever comission! The Thought Bubble convention is coming up soon and my friend Shaun told me he was going to be getting TMNT sketches from as many artists as he could. He asked me to draw him Casey Jones so I did this:

I'm really pleased with how it came out and hopefully he will be too. I'm also thinking maybe I should watch some TMNT. I've heard the new series is pretty good.

Pints and Pencils 07/11/13

Regular Pints and Pencils update. We were back to the 'bowls of chaos' this time. I got dancing 66 Batman and 'your mum' taking a lizard to court for GBH on the set of a porn film. I didn't really want to put my mum in the story so I made her the exact opposite of her real character. I have heard my mum swear precisely once in my whole life and it was pretty mild (and I'd been a total shit at the time). Anyway...here it is...

I drew some other stuff but none of it made it out of the pub. It was kind of crap though anyway.

Zombre

For those of you that are interested, a book featuring one of my stories is now available for pre-order from Borderline Press. It would mean a lot to me if you ordered one (or bought one from the Borderline Press stall at Thought Bubble).

The anthology looks like this:

and my story in it looks like this:

Sketchy

A few random sketches I did a couple of nights ago:

There's a good chance that some or all of these will end up in a comic at some point. I prefer writing stories around a few character designs and then fitting other characters in around them. Pretty much everything I've ever written has been based around a random doodle or sketch.

Old Man Future and the Clock with the top hat will definitely be showing up in a Seth and Ghost story somewhere down the line.

It's Steve the Brick

Steve the Brick was supposed to be in the Seth and Ghost story I did for the Zombre anthology (available later this month from Borderline Press) but because of space reasons I ended up using Pyramid Cat for his part instead. I liked the idea of the character though (Is he alive? Did someone just draw a face on a brick?) so I drew this and have made plans for him to play a part in the next Seth and Ghost story.

Steve the Brick will return!
