Falling: The Allure of the Femme Fatale in the World of David Lynch

A few weeks ago I was asked to do a short comic for the excellent online magazine, Electric Sheep.  I had a pretty busy January planned but had to make time for this when I discovered what the project would be about.  Femmes Fatales in David Lynch’s movies and TV shows: that’s pretty hard for an old David Lynch fan to turn down!

So I cranked up the Angelo Badalamenti soundtracks to get me in the mood and dived into the strange, funny, scary world once more.

I’m even watching Twin Peaks from the beginning again and loving it!

David Lynch Femmes Fatales

 

Rosie and Jacinda Website now online!

I’m very pleased to reveal the excellent new Rosie and Jacinda website.  For those of you not familiar with the comic I created with Manga artist / Fashion Illustrator supremo Zarina Liew, Rosie and Jacinda is a teenage romantic comedy with a hint of fairytale.  It tells the story of school outcast Jacinda struggling to handle her first friend in many years… the effervescent new girl, Rosie!

Check out rosieandjacinda.com for interviews with Rosie, Jacinda, Daniella, Benjamin, Kyle and Aaron plus much more…

Whoever shall fit these shoes…

I’ve been working on a short comic project for Electric Sheep Magazine.  Should be online in a couple of weeks or so but here’s a tiny teaser image.  Serious Cookie Points for anyone who recognises the TV show character from this preparatory sketch!

First blog in ages!  Going to be posting loads more now that I’ve tidied up this page.

Web & Mini Comix Thing March 2010 Pix

This year’s thing was my best yet! Thanks to everyone who bought my stuff, bought me a drink, asked me questions and didn’t beat me up.

I picked up some killer comics while I was there, including gems of great beauty by Luke Paton, Claude T.C, Saban Kazim, Strange Biros, Josceline Fenton, Jenika Loffreda and the groovetastic Francesca Cassavetti.

Another treat at the show was seeing some more work in progress from the most excellent Aaron Smurf Murphy – that story coming to a Tempo Lush comic soon!

Also took some pix which are seen below for your pleasure and entertainment. Couple of apologies – I still haven’t fixed the bug on my site which that means the footer of this page appears somewhere in the middle. It does work on Firefox but not on Opera or some versions of Internet Explorer. I’ll sort it out soon – promise! Second apology as it seems my camera adds the most extreme red eye ever. Enjoy!


Neither of these people are Lizz “Gleeeee” Lunney. One of them might be Sean Azzopardi and one of them is looking forward to a Snickers.


Tozo creator and amazing illustrator David O’Connell. Good times, good times.


The magical world of Daniel Merlin Goodbrey and Douglas Noble.


Watch out folks the Bastards sirens are calling you to their table. Don’t let Francesca Cassavetti and Sally-Anne Hickman trick you. If you go near their comics you will crash your ship on the jagged rocks of their comic goodness.


Peekaboo – it’s… Timothy J Winchester!


Smile Jenika Loffreda – I’m taking a pic for my blog! Ooh – I think I’ll buy that lovely cat T-shirt too!


Josceline Fenton and Claude Trollope-Curson right before they head off to their Hoola Hoops Anonymous meeting.


What kind of hip cats are holding the Tempo Lush Cosmically Enlightened Gift Set these days? Why it’s hip cats like Lando and Dickon Harris!


My great discovery of this year’s thing – the very talented and pleasant to sit next to while crazy comic folk wander past for several hours Luke Paton


They’re fun! They’re lovable! That’s right, they’re Oliver Lamden and Jake Harold!

Phil Spence, he’s not that dense, and for a few pence, he’ll start to make sense! Sorry Phil – it’s late and I’ve run out of decent photo captions!

Dino-Saw-Us Passport Stickers

This year at the Web & Mini Comix Thing, the fabulous Lizz Lunney and the equally fabulous Timothy Winchester have organised a fun little something known as the Dino-Saw-Us Passport!

The first 180 Visitors to the show can pick up a special passport when they come to the show and many of the comic creators exhibiting will give away free stickers for the passports! Very cool! You can see a list of all the lovely artists taking part here, and a sneaky peaky of the Tempo Lush stickers below…

Aaron “Smurf” Murphy Pencils

Check out the start of the pencils by Aaron “Smurf” Murphy for the first page of a short story we’re working on together. So exciting writing a script, then watching an artist knock it out the park. Then you think, I wonder what the story would look like if I’d drawn it myself. About a zillionth as good, that’s what!! How do you think that makes me feel?!! Bloody selfish of you, man. Thanks Aaron. Thanks a lot!

Alternative Press Fair Pix

Had a great day at the extremely buzzing Alternative Press Fair on Saturday. Always cool to hang out with lovely comic friends before they all get too big and successful to acknowledge my existence.
Thanks to everyone who bought my comics and gift sets and prints and box sets.
Here’s some pix…

Wowzers! What a busy crowd of sophisticats.
