Twisted Tales, Hero Killers and I’m gay

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

First off a big congrats to Dec and Andy for scooping an Eagle Award for Hero Killers in Bristol over the weekend. Big thanks to you all if you voted through here. Seems like a lifetime ago that he timidly dangled a copy of it at me at the Irish Comic Showcase thing, now we’re bumchums and even going half on adopting a little black kid.

Here’s a page from an upcoming Twisted Tales in full jaysis colour. Still don’t know if they’re running back to back but they’re running and that’s all that matters. I’m moving house tomorrow so prolly no posts for a week or two. Jesus lads, talk about a reversal in good fortune, I moved in here a broken man, absolutely devastated and ruined but I’m leaving as a human. Found love and the wonder of life has returned, all the comic shit is great and all but I’d easily swap it all for just one day with her. Yeah, expect a super gay post soon to balance this one, detailing my epic comeback and the detective work/surveillance that proved Jabba the Slut was lieing and really did have another man the tramp.

Droppin’ Loads all over your fuckin LEGO

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

I have a list of stuff that I need to re-post such as the interviews I done with imfamous Irish cartoonist Scratch and the genius Nicholas Gurewitch. Still can’t work out how to post images in wordpress without posting them to my flickr account. Anybody know?
So here’s a popular comic which I neglected to put back up. In fairness, Lego have sort of redeemed themselves since I made this but here it is anyway:

The ‘Dropping Loads’ bit comes from a running joke on Howard Stern. It cracks me up. Listen to it once and it will ruin your sex life.
Definitely not work safe or for kids (so if you work in a creche, that’s a double no). I was pouring milk on my breakfast this morning and couldn’t help shouting ‘Dropping Loads all over your fucking Shreddies’. So there.

Just got word from Tharg that my first Twisted Tales will be in the next prog; number 1536 bitch. I’m doing a signing in Sub City next week on the 11th or the 12th I think so come down and get a back rub off me. There’s another signing in Sub City Galway in June too for Freak Show.

Going over to Aberdeen this month for a launchy signing thing with Dec for Your Round too.

Dubliner comics

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Whaddup goons. Was talking to a bloke yesterday about the series of comics I done for The Dubliner magazine a year ago. He reminded me of them as I had completely forgotten about it and never mentioned it here. Written by the obscenely talented Cian Hallinananan, I think they went in under the name ‘Saint Stephens Green’ or something. All drawn on the sly in work, I’m happy with most of them but think the art is generally ropey.

It’s mad, when they were running a relation commented that she had seen them and was impressed. No offence but fuck these comics, what about the hundreds of pages I’ve drawn over the past 6 years? I think because they were in a legit mag they valued these more than the rest of my output.
