Been seeing all the photos of my new comic Cuckoo that I've been RTing and wondering where to get your own copy?? Well wonder no more, because you can order both it and the new Homunculus reprint at shortbox.co.uk!! They'll go out after the KS rewards, around 11th March!

It's now less than a week until I'm at for the launch party of my new comic Cuckoo this Friday night! I've drawn a bunch of these lil illustrated sketch cards for it. They're unique and limited obviously so if you want one be sure to get in early!!!

sometimes you get a bit of anti-aliasing fluff at the edges that you have to clean up if the lines are too fuzzy (a bit of the colour beneath showing through or something) but for a first pass at flatting it's dead good & fast

i get that we're kind of locked into using CG for most film vfx nowadays but i do wish people would attempt more uncanny weird stuff like this. twin peaks s3 had a few things like it, just like warping/masking footage and photos, bits of stop motion

i know open job callouts on twitter are a bit annoying but - anyone recommend any London-based artists who do (or would be interested in doing) 2d prop design for animation? trying to expand my knowledge pool a bit. feel free to DM or reply! may delete this later.

i wanted a couple more of these done before i started posting them but i just had that feeling like i've not really posted any personal art in like half a year or more (outside the comic obvs but that's different somehow)

Thinking about the kid at school who had the inspired idea to sing along to Eifell 65's Blue (Da Ba Dee) but replacing every time he says "blue" with "shit". Shit his house with a shit little window... Shit corvette... Had us ROLLING
