New and (hopefully) improved

The new look site has been launched. It has less green. Check it out: www.lomoore.com and please let me know if there are any mistakes or problems!
In other news:
Malcy Duff has a new comic out: The Blackest Gnome, and it's excellent. He has a new publishing outfit but I can't get the link to work. I'll post it up when I find out the proper address.
Also there's a neat zine dedicated to contemporary female artists, here's their myspace page:

New Website - Coming Soon

Got a new card from the stupid bank, the blog is saved!
My website is getting a much needed overhaul and will be relaunched (fingers crossed) on Wednesday the 28th of February. Write that in your diary, then go check it out and let me know if there are any mistakes. I've tried out some coding that I haven't used before so there may be a few hiccups and I don't kow what the browser compatibility will be like, so please let me know if you have any trouble with it.
Here's my new finger puppet (you may remember the Jack and Kim Bauer puppets and the President David Palmer puppet previously blogged):


Apollo Creed

Apollo Creed finger puppet


Apollo was a birthday present for Bear (Happy Birthday Bear). As you can see I've tried googly eyes instead of beady ones (actually my very earliest finger puppets had googly eyes, so I guess it's kind of a googly comeback) and he also has arms (again, som early puppets had arms). In the past I've made a finger puppet zoo (each animal had its own rhyming illustrated story, this was a family Christmas present when I was a poor student), the cast of Star Trek the next generation (for a friend who had become briefly obsessed), Hansel and Gretel (for an illustration), and me and Andy (for a friend who was going travelling and was unsure whether or not she'd see us again). I'd like to start scaling them up a bit, making stuffed toy versions. I'm getting quite into knitting too, so I might add little knitted accessories. I'm far too busy with drawing at the moment (hurrah!) as I've got some more freelance work in (Yay!).
Don't forget to check out the new site! www.lomoore.com.

Now you see it.....

Soon you proably won't. Due to having the worst bank in the world this blog may disappear for a while. Apart from screwing up my credit card (hence all the awful pop up ads on my main site) they have now neglected to issue my other card in time, so I can't pay for this blog anymore. Words cannot describe how angry I am with this rubbish bank.
In the mean time check out spleenal. It's updated more often than my blog and has actual drawings.
