Animal Bubbles

Item! Comical Animal has launched, "a bi-monthly online publication for comic, cartoon and kids books afficianados" that is, as you might guess from the title, all about animals.

I've got a couple of strips in it that have been coloured especially for Comical Animal (or in one case, recoloured since the colour version was lost to a computer mishap).

Item! While at Thought Bubble, I was filmed by Geek Syndicate where I got to plug Bahala Na! and Square Eyed Stories. Video at the link.

Jim McGee suggest Cubism, but it ended more abstract.

Her Majesty

I've used this colouring technique on small doodles, but this is the first time I've used it on a full size strip. I don't know if I'll be doing it much in future. I still have no idea whether this will print okay in greyscale.

Update: After my computer got borked, I found out that the orignal work file hadn't been backed up properly, and the coloured version had been lost. This picture is all that remained and obviously isn't print quality. I'll eventually get round to recolouring it at some point.
