Happy with my work?

Hey all.
Have you worked with me in the past? If so, I'm looking for testimonials / soundbites to put on my site because people don't seem to believe how awesome I am. That's the only reason I can think of for my present state of poverty. Email me or comment here to contribute. I think the page may be covered in little creatures with the testimonials in speech bubbles, so if you have a creature preference please let me know, and include a business name/website where appropriate (there will be a link to your site as a thank you for your help). This includes people I have worked with on a paid or voluntary basis. And creature preference can include mythical ones too.

Making webcomics

Just working on some new webcomics at the moment. Painting up a new Monstrum strip that will go up on www.comicspace.com and then I'm doing one for a new comic retail site. I did a series of web strips for Indie review but they haven't put them up yet, I think they're making a new section or something.
It's taken me a while to get back on my feet after Christmas, I came down with some horrible virus and it really took it out of me. Although I did get to spend all day on the sofa watching DVDs, which was nice.

Christmas 2007

Christmas was good this year,
Lots of nice food:


Mmm...Christmas Trifle


Festive animals:

(That's a bull made from jelly beans.)
This Christmas had it all.
We went for a walk around Greystones beach on Christmas day and saw a robin sitting on the old pier, how seasonal!:

Unfortunately the plans have now been signed to turn this beautiful old harbour in to a spangly new marina.
Turning it from this:

They've also closed down the cinema (as seen in 'father ted'). This cinema is next door to where I grew up, and I saw many of my favourite films here:

It wasn't a very good cinema, but it had character and my love of film was probably spawned by the many visits I had there as a child.
There was also a trip to the aquarium, which I have to admit has improved a LOT since I was a child. The Lego staff seem to be doing an excellent job:
