Been very much enjoying HP Podcraft podcasts lately. Brilliant stuff.

Big news for WJC

Big news for me posted on the Tank Girl FB feed this week. I will be getting the chance to work with Alan Martin himself, on an upcoming Tank Girl strip. Not much more to tell just yet, of course I will not stop banging on about it any chance i may get but here are a few pieces that I have done so far.

I'm very excited but this is a serious business. TG has a big old following and only few (high caliber) artists have followed the incomparable Jamie Hewlett (Jim Mahfood, Mick McMahon, Rufus Dayglo) so it's going to be a big old experience, looking forward to it.

BIRMINGHAM ZINE FESTIVAL

Very excited about joining in with the Birmingham Zine Festival tomorrow. I will have a table at the Independent Publishing Fair from 12 but am hot tailing it to take part in 'Make It And Tell Everybody' between 2 and 4, a panel hosted by the splendid Dan Berry and a grand collection of artists.

AlsoWith regard to the mention in the previous post, here are a few recent Instagram pics.

Also, of course are the regular Passenger of the Day updates and pictures of food because it is Instagram after all.

What's going on.

Ok, things are not going as planned. The summer is coming to an end and I have got very little done in terms of books and artwork. I had higher hopes for accomplishing the targets that i had set (though they do constantly wander 'just a few more weeks' regardless) but these have not been met.

Drawing, making stories, sketching ideas are things I have always done and always enjoy doing. And wether I have art jobs to do, commissions to finish or responsibilities to projects to fulfill, I still would find drawing the best way to take a break from a drawing workload. But somehow, this time has not been available. Summer holidays, day jobs and night jobs have all been factors but also, fairly wayward working practices. To my great shame, my two books for Blank Slate, Gungle and Hunch Parsons are still far from ready. I have spoken to plenty of people over time, assuring them (perhaps you) that these are on the way to completion, maybe now so many times that you're wondering if they will ever appear at all. They certainly will, but I m certainly testing the patience of those guys who have been so good to me, which as I say, is to my shame.

There are projects that I am keen to get on with after those books too. Writers who are interested in letting me work with their scripts, and I'm dead excited to do so, in time.

And this blog too has been neglected. Though partly as fancy phones and apps are moving ahead. Twitter and instagram are more streamlined to post up a quickly rendered sketch, while out and about and far from my desk and scanner (@warwickjc on twitter but @wocco on instagram, long story)

I suppose i'm just wanting to let you know that 'i'm on it'. This time of year has often shown a marked change in improved productivity and I need to improve.

No sea today, had some pencil time and got a page further.
