Comics incoming

Getting ready to cartoon again.

I ordered a new graphics tablet from Amazon last week and am just waiting for that sucker to appear though the post. I am at university at the moment have been working on a new website to host it in my down time. I am working with a quirky design, but it will be centred around the comic and therefore gives me more incentive to keep up with it at least on a regular basis.

I have also been looking into having it placed into the student newspaper. It would be such a boost to my confidance as an artist and cartoonist to have my comic published, even if the paper is free and tends to come out whenever it feels like it rather than on a regular basis.

I am working on a new format for the comic. I will continue to do the full page ones which I am used to doing, but will also be producing short strips about a 1/5th of the height of an Af page (like the ones which normally appear in a newspaper.) Much like some of my favourite online web comics such as Ben, Faux Pas and the like. Full pagers like Awkward Zombie, Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and VG Cats still have a warm place in my heart, but I like what Tim over at Ctrl+Alt+Del has done; producing a regular full sheet comic and seperate 'sillies' in news print format. Of course, this is a very casual hobby (though not as casual as it was in the past) and so it won't be updated as much as the professionals do so.

Gonna pull out some tasters soon, I have only a few weeks of uni left to suffer through and then its a long summer with a few projects to work on.
