Bear Thrills

Has another week gone by again already? Where does the time go?

Well tomorrow is Wednesday and that means Dandy time again. So that also means you get to see a new Korky story. But wait, there's more. I have a brand new strip debuting in this issue, which incidentally is a massive Christmas special like you used to get in the old days before the internet and when there was only four channels on the telly. Bear Thrills follows the adventures of this scout leader extraordin-bear and all the zany scrapes he gets into. It should be loads of fun, and I should know, I've seen his first ten adventures. So catch up with his first scrape in The Dandy tomorrow. It's a double page spread too. You've never had it so good.

Pig kebab

Piglet kebab anyone? This was going to be a screen print based around the tale of the Three Little Pigs. It never happened though and I haven't posted anything a little disturbing up for ages so here you go.

The Sheriff of Dottingham

There's loads of exciting things happening in the Dandy at the moment. This week sees Korky go full page and next week my new strip, Bear Thrills starts. As I was thumbing through this issue I noticed my little dot to dot page has snuck in. Not one to shy away from puns I present to you The Sheriff of Dottingham. I used to love dot to dot puzzles when I was tiny. I remember my Grandad making me do them with a ruler, which kind of took the fun out of it.

Korky goes full page

Tomorrow is my first full page Korky Strip for the Dandy. This is quite an achievement as he was almost dropped from the comic and it was only the constant whinging of me and one of the staff artists that saved him from the chop. This would have been a massive shame for the nation so it's good to see that he's been popular enough to have been given a full page again and continues as one of the longest running comic characters in the world.

Tomorrow's adventure sees him going to Banarnia as I cash in on the popularity of the Chronicles of Narnia franchise for my own ends. So be sure to get the comic, just look out for Harry Hill (I'm confidently guessing) on the cover and brace yourself for chuckles.

Dead pets

December is upon us and snow is falling heavily in Hove tonite. So as the advent month begins how about a picture of some dead animals. This is from an exciting project I've been working on since about May and it has been a lot of fun. Reader's voice: "What could it be?"

I'm not saying yet, but keep it Corbett to find out. All will be revealed soon enough (if all goes to plan).

Tricerablobs

Look at this adorable plush monster I made. Like a modern day Frankenstein I bought a load of old charity shop cuddly toys, cruelly dissected them and then restitched them back together again into this monstrosity. I think it works.

Spiral pterodactyl

This is a print of some kind of flying monster I did. this turned out to be one of my favourite prints as when it came out the colours were amazing. You can't go wrong with a blue & pink colour scheme though.
