Fish Tale... Begin!

Well here's a page from 'Fish Tale's' story, which will be at the beginning o' the novel... 

I set m'self doon last week and drew... a day of drawing, t'is unfortunately a rarity, but all the more welcome for it... Abe also finished Mathew Thurber's 1-800-MICE, which was a wonderful example of world building, with a lovely streak of absurdist black humor running throu... blah de blah... I highly enjoyed it. 

ho humm.

Anyhoo, heres one o' me favorite songs for your ears... Pascal Pinon's "New Beginning" 

No Sign Yet

Heres a page from a 9 pager Abe finished over the last week "No Sign Yet"... It's an empty tale of a fella wandering a deserted landscape waiting for a sign, and a sign of his friend, who is missing... Wow. Sounds more profound then it is in reality... (oh the joys of posting single pages!)

It was drawn with the idea of it possibly being included in the longer 'novel... Ho humm.

And lastly, here's Monsieur Gainsbourg with "La Javanaise" 

A Wee L'il Comic

Here's a wee comicy comic made in this self same A.M  Abe was just experimenting with layering et al... 

really nice article on the british comic publishing scene over at the comics journal.

 Fills me with excitement... gotta jump on that bandwagon! ah ha!

And for your ears... "Bury the Hammer" by "Beat Happening"

Abe in Brussels

Heres a little doodle I doodled yesterday in me sketchbook... t'is my time in Brussels last month... not sure if it needs another page... its only a wee thing for the interweb anyhow. I did have a vision of a four page epic chase across Belgium... but the best laid plans...

In case ye didn't know... the cowboy is a bad depiction of Lucky Luke, who "draws faster then his shadow" 

Just Listen to Hall & Oates... Just do. Because. du dum.

Holy Holy Holy Style!

Well abes back on track! ah ha! got his six pager done on thursday... my style... its ... its just right 'gain.

Been reading a lot o Jason comics of late... the colour scheme above is influenced by some o' the pages in the 'Werewolves of Montpellier'... Should be included in the next issue of nervous in a cape... building quite a large selection o work to be selected from...

In other news... happy new year et al!

why not celebrate by watching Sam Cooke singing his version o' Basin Street Blues...

Ego battle or what?!?!
