The archives are still housed at this address, so if you want to know what questions I asked Bryan Talbot in 2005, if I passed my Filipino martial arts grading in 2007, or what my thoughts are on the work of maverick director Danny Lerner, please check out the old posts on the right.

Some of the new pictures I'm exhibiting in Washington DC in May/June.

New postcard. I'm hoping to exhibit work in Washington DC in May, and this is a new postcard I designed to take with me as freebies. I might put some around at the Bristol convention too.

Inbetween drawing comedians and doing some new paintings (really, that's my freelance work at the moment), I managed to find time to watch and (by popular demand) review a shark movie.

Raging sharks.

Another amazing Danny Lerner Bulgarian shark movie (the man who also brought us the classics, Shark attack3, Sharkzone and Shark in Venice.
Let me share it with you.

Normal service shall resume soon. I'm working on some new stuff and once my 'studio' (i.e. freezing cold mess of a box room) is sorted out there'll be some lovely new artwork for you to gaze upon. If you can't wait for free art, please defy the credit crunch and buy one of my nice comics: http://stores.lulu.com/leonieo

I only just found out about this. Look how amazing it is! It's on at the science museum in London, just like everything else. (I mean everything's in London, not specifically in the science museum.)

First of all some animation:

Graham Annable is one of my favourite comic book writers/artists. He has awesome comic timing. So imagine how happy I was when Andy showed me that he now animates stuff too!:

I'm totally going to start animating stuff once I get this computer situation fixed. Oh yeah. Then I'm gonna bag me an oscar. You'll see. You'll all see.

Okay, now some photos:

I came across the Smithsonian Institution on Flickr, there are some great photos, and the comments are interesting. People are kicking off about some of the images being racist. I guess some people don't get how Museums or photos or history work.

I also found the National Martime museum on there, which is more my sort of thing. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationalmaritimemuseum/
The National Galleries of Scotland have some beautiful old pictures of Edinburgh: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationalgalleries/
I'm currently trawling through the links for the other museums and galleries. It will take a while.

Kids show:

Another link from Andy because his job seems to consist of using the internet. Concept indeed. This is one of the best kids shows ever! I think it was on boingboing or some such site, so you may have already seen it:

That's all your links for today.

I'm working on some more comic stuff, obviously by now you'll have bought the new issue of Monstrum and although it won't have been delivered yet you will be eager for the next issue. So I'm working on that. I'm also doing a one-pager for an anthology that won't be out until 2010. They like to be organised.

Here's the shark cake that some kind people surprised me with for my birthday (it's part eaten in this picture, I didn't get to photograph it in time, it was super yummy):

Okay. It's done. You can buy it now!

Monstrum Horrendum Vol. 2 Book 1:

Available from Lulu

I had an awesome birthday, which stretched from Friday through to Tuesday, and included a trip to York (a really great city, lots for tourists to do!), some Ewoks, Obama, pitching to Current TV, Jack Bauer and a shark cake.
check out Flickr for photos.

Also, I got Monstrum back from the printers, it was a bit of a mess. I've sorted out all the problems and I'm just waiting for the new proofs. Then it will be available to buy. I know everyone will be super excited about it. I was going to realease it on the 20th, but I didn't want to steal Obama's thunder.

This years Christmas cards come with felt decorations. I have only made 6 because I left it too late to start making them, but I'm sure that just makes them more special. Sorry to whoever gets the scary pudding thing.
