Shortcrusts 2

There we go. Finished. In the bag. Bosh. Like crap out of a goose. Shortcrusts 2 is finished. This story is a bit different to my usual in terms of drawing style and absence of dialogue. Ooh and there's a little bit of sauce. Hope Rob's ok with it.

Not sure if there's a shortcrusts 3 in me though, I'll have to see if I get any brainwaves. Maybe another oversized pasty night will spark the imagination...

First one done

Okaaay, finished digesting. Spent some of this weekend doing my first of 3 stories for Rob Jacksons Pasties anthology. Here's a couple of sample frames. I was concerned I've done Thomas Wogan to death, oh yeah I guess I already have, titter, but I couldn't resist. The next two stories, also under the title 'Shortcrusts' will be very different from each other.

In the line of duty...

I feel research is very important when undertaking any project. That is how pasty night came about. Not only did it spark a few ideas it was rather pleasant evening of grub and homebrew. I opted for the cheese, potato and onion and my colleague, Dr Thomas, went for a rice and lentil filling with wholemeal pastry. Bloody hippy. Eagle eyed observers will notice a variety of sealing techniques: the Birketts style side crimp and the classic cornish style top crimp. I was so full at the end of it I could barely walk home, I'm never eating pastry again.

I think next year pasty night will be a possible rival to the UK Webcomix thing. So er, look out!
