This is taken from some photos of Hatsumi Sensei demonstrating a ninjitsu disarming technique for those occasions when you get attacked by a sword.

This is a panel from perhaps the craziest of my self penned webcomics, and that is saying something as they are all a little (lota) bit zany. Its called the Streatham Quartet. I used to live in Streatham so naturally I drew a comic about mites that get enslaved by one of their kind who has evolved into an evil crab. They loose their ability to procreate (except asexually) which is no fun at all, and must travel through time in a tree (trees are time machines didn't you know) to reverse the terrible effect of this schism in the natural course of things. It involves some funky technology and weird mite mythology which leads them to recruit all sorts of creatures from a roto-bug (an adapted stag beetle) to a crow, a colony of mice, to Merlin himself in the course of justice. All is well in the end when Crapoctopus is shrunk to a manageable size before disappearing altogether when the mites true parents finally get it on, as we can see in this fine illustration that I have snazzified for your eyes' pleasure. Its difficult to follow and a bit rough round the edges, but like so many things ONE DAY I will sort it out and RULE THE WORLD - I mean, try selling it or printing a copy or something.

I know I draw Merlin more than almost anything else, but if you knew him like I do you'd draw him 9 times out of 10 too. He's got me so well trained he doesn't even meow any more (for food) he just sits and tilts his head in the direction of the bowl. He meows to say hello or what's up, stuff like that. If I deign to be busy when he thinks its cuddle time, he just walks across my computer and sits on it. I know this is common cat behaviour but it still amuses me every time. It's just cats, they've had our attention for thousands of years, and each generation evolves to be that little bit more enthralling, Eventually all we'll do is lie flat while our cats sit on our chests and purr, occasionally indicating when its time for food. GOD KNOWs how we'll earn enough money to feed the blighters what with all the lying down and such.

Looks better in green.

My Tetzuka character just hit LEVEL 3! DING DING DING. Yes, This a User Interface sample, =)

I went back to look at the art in Longship, to see how I would draw it now. To see if I learned anything since I completed it in 2013, I picked two panels I loved anyway, and made them nicer. 

Went sandy today,

I thought I'd brush up on these ladies as there was a lot of work packed into this little comic - Vert about an old circus elephant that was buried in our town 100 years ago. Also that elephant was sweet, it got lost a bit I think in the comic strip though it was a nice idea!

This is a vector based version of a painting I did in 2000. 

This is from a painting I did a thousand years ago, in case you thought you'd seen it before...

I always thought 'Poison' was a strange brand name for a perfume.

Homer or Kubrick?  Is this furniture or a concept game or what? Are you still wondering? Is this a New Years card to comfort you in your intergenerational stresses or an invite to a mega battle round at Simon's. He takes his gaming seriously. Perhaps it's a metaphor for marriage, or a very posh garage sale poster.  Maybe its interactive and they are doors to different worlds? I'd like that, a game where you sit in a chair and the environment manifests according to the deign principles of that chair. You can get up and walk around in that world and go back to that chair to return to the menu. 

I made this one because I am quite partial to a bit of roller skating. I haven't roller skated for quite a while to be honest but the idea of it still makes me happy. If you happen to be currently near a roller disco and in need of some ridiculous fun, I say get your ankle warmers and sports jacket on and go go go.

This one's a canteen where your Tapas comes to you on a conveyor belt - as in Sushi.

I like to do my bit to promote things that will make your world a better place. Somethings are so good they are timeless.

Felt like saying something about something today.
