I was a little apprehensious about this particular episode because of the decision to switch from Letter-o-matic’to Eurocomic fonts, the first being a free font from Blambot and the latter being a paid font that can be used outside of free comics. As I’m a professional comic artist I need a font I can guarantee…Read more

I’ve had the final panel for this story going ’round my head since I started work on this version of Pie Noon last year. I think it’s pretty good, all things considered, and it’s pretty close to what I envisaged in my mind all those months ago. We’re nearing the end of the story now…Read more

The new colouring technique is working out very nicely now and I’m starting to see a benefit in terms of speed of production for the strips.

Some readers may…Read more

I’m starting to get ahead of myself now with these comics. Traditionally I script them in advance of drawing them but recently I’ve also begun drawing them ahead of time, too. This means I’m starting to get a few comics ready before they need to go up, so hopefully I will be able to avoid…Read more
