Slow and steady wins the race... of remembering to pimp such lovely things! XD

UK-manga-ka-club reports, June 8!
Laura Watton DA interview

Here is information about the UK manga-ka club on DA, too.

Hope the read is enjoyable. I even created a DA acocunt to comment (!) and say my thanks (however my gallery is blank so far, hahaa. I may use if for fanart slurge purposes only... one day...)

Oh yes, and because of the above fact, there are no illustrations of mine in the article. However it made me ludicrously happy to realise that it *had* been illustrated with works by numerous other people!!

Thank you very much everyone, this is a great honour. 

I'm a bit shocked at this! *o* Biomecha got shortlisted for the Eagle Awards this year for Favourite Brit B&W comic. Click here to vote!

*Has a bit of a sit down*

Here's some drawins wot I dun!



( Moar under cut )

Thanks for lookin'!

How do you go about producing comic pages? We talk to seven Sweatdrop members as they discuss their methods and rituals for getting pages done, and how they cope with the doldrums of comicking. In this episode we have rare podcast appearance from Fehed and Keds, and even provide live musical interludes.

I was super-obsessed with Real Ghostbusters! But only 20 years later I can actually draw them. (Kinda.)

You know you want to!

Release date is 10 June 2008 though, which is unusually late. Better late than never??

I sporadically post a quick review of what manga sparks my interest (or distaste) on a thread on Sweatdrop, appropriately named "What manga are you reading now?". Some of the beginnings of my links will not make sense as they'll be relating to the posts above it, so ignore those bits ;D

I heard some people who read Sweatdrop don't read that thread, which is a shame. I thought I'd post up my ramblings here because they seem LJ-able. It funny how long and rambly they get. XD

Densha Otoko // Train Man (Del-Ray)
Ecole du Ciel (Tokyopop)
Iron Wok Jan (ComicsOne)
Pitchi Pitchi Pitch ~ Eyeshield21 ~ Boys over Flowers // Hana Yori Dango (Del-Ray / Viz / Viz)
Dolis (Tokyopop)
The Embalmer (Tokyopop)
Loveless (Tokyopop)
Ikebukuro West Gate Park (DMP)


Randomly, Sweatdrop was down for a bit, but is now fixed and back up, working as normal - complete with sale ending 10th February!!!!



This means you can buy my 200-page Biomecha GN for a mere £3 and nominal P&P (IIRC it's around a quid or so) so if you've been putting it off now's your chance to buy it - as well as any other comic or book in the Sweatdrop shop, of course, by all of the SD artists and writers!

Nekofairy666 is no more - I renamed my journal pinkapplejam.

Pink Apple Jam was the name of my comics imprint when I was self-publishing before Sweatdrop began and I'm creating a smaller website/online portfolio soon, using www.pinkapplejam.com :)

Just so you know =)

(...Now I need to make new icons!)
