Neill Cameron and Howard Hardiman get that Christmas spirit

Saturday, December 5, 2009

It’s Christmas you know. Which means a chance for comic folk to enter into the spirit of things. First up we have Neill Cameron’s Advent Santas. Last year Neill posted as many different Santas as he could think of on his blog. This year, building on the ideas of his A-Z of Awesomeness and the instant [...]

Forget the monkey, we talk to the Organ Grinder

Regular contributor to the blog, the Megazine and many others spots, Matt ‘madman’ Badham has been confusing the Twitterverse recently with multiple references to needing more artists and some project, ominously entitled ‘Grinder’. Intrigued and not a little alarmed at the title (visions of giant robotic meat grinder stomping across the land devouring humanity; I [...]

Following his A-Z of Awesomeness, which recently featured on Pete Ashton’s blog as an example of social networking success, Neill Cameron has returned with another daily “fun, stupid Internet thing” that he’s calling Hashtag Funnies: (Neill Cameron’s Hashtag Funnies – #gotacrushon.

Regular readers will know that we’ve been following Garen Ewing’s delightful Rainbow Orchid series with great pleasure for some years, in limited print versions and online and we’ve kept up with Garen as it progressed, so it seemed right that now Egmont have published the first Rainbow Orchid book (I’m tempted to use the European [...]

Rob Davies posts some useful and quite candidly practical tips for anyone trying to make a living from their art, ten suggestions to try and get paying work rather than the starving in the artistic garret approach, ranging from getting an agent who will get you a fee for pitching ideas (even if not finally [...]

Neill Cameron’s A-Z of Awesomeness, where readers of Neill’s blog and Facebook page suggested suitable characters for the letter of the day, is now collected together in one place on Neill’s website. Each letter has it’s own page and there’s that wonderful poster displayed above in all it’s Awesomeness! The complete A-Z poster above, although unlikely [...]

Meet the new Who

Neill Cameron is fast off the starting blocks with this artwork of Matt Smith as the Doctor just hours after the BBC allowed us the first public glimpse of the costume Matt will be wearing in next year’s new Doctor Who. I think in this one he looks almost Patrick Troughton-esque.

Possible Buffy movie – but don’t get too excited…

The Hollywood Reporter announces that there may be another Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie – normally that’s something that would have most of us at FPI jumping up and down with pleasure and running around with our Mr Pointy stakes. But further reading gives much cause for trepidation. Why? Because its got nothing to do [...]

Goodbye to the DFC

Friday saw the last DFC comic published. Today I thought I’d just showcase some of the lovely images and messages we’ve gathered up from various creator’s sites with them saying goodbye… Emma Vieceli: What’s important is to remember that the DFC did not fail. It achieved so much and, if economy hadn’t stuck its smelly nose in, [...]

Neill Cameron posts up an unused sketch for an aborted Rich Johnston project called Political Creatures, a zombie version of Margaret Thatcher. I love Neill’s art, but I have to say, could any of us really tell the difference between a vicious undead version of Mrs T and the real one?? Quite interesting timing too [...]
