The Dark Cover In TechnicolourSo I finally finished colouriong this cover for the first issue of Chris’s ‘The Dark’. But… There’s 2 versions, one has a bit more of a green hue to it and I’m not sure which I prefer.

An Evening with Monkeys with Machineguns.If you happen to have a spare couple of hours, then why not go check out the “interview” we did with Bones and Marshall on the first night of the Bristol SPExpo. I say “interview” because it descends into me and Chris blathering fairly sharpish, before turning into 4 nerds having a chat in the bar! Seriously [...]

Death and Microblogging. Michael Jackson?s Last Audience.I have just lived through a bizarre experience, watching news of Michael Jackson’s death propogate across the Internet in real time. I saw the news first on Twitter, where microbloggers tweeted and retweeted the news that had been broken on the TMZ website. Whilst traditional media, such as BBC News 24, tried to confirm the story, [...]

GI Joe: Resolute (YouTube Playlist)For anyone who hasn’t already heard, GI Joe Resolute is an eleven episode animated series based on the ‘Joe franchise written by UK scribe Warren Ellis. Originally broadcast on the [adult swim] network, this is certainly a more mature take on the franchise, the cartoon that adult fans of the ‘Joe franchise will no doubt refer [...]
