The Osprey of Hope

Saw one of these beauties at Leighton Moss last week.

Norman

..whilst excited with the results, realised he had bought the wrong little blue pills off the internet.

Thanks to Andy for this one, though we shouldn't chuckle too much as this is based on one of his true life experiences. Fortunately it was during the winter so he could wear heavy jumpers to disguise them.

If you want to see some fine art photography and musings, why not pop over to his Decoding Static blog.

Norman

A bank of thank to Graeme Williams for this one. Absolutely brilliant. Done in Excel according to him.

Zommmbiiiieeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss

A few sneak peeks at my artwork for the upcoming Accent UK Zombies 2 anthology, or rather 2ombies. I was provided with a fine script by Ryan Doman and eventually got cracking on it. This is my first time drawing somebody elses writing so I was apprehensive, I'd say it worked rather well though.

I wonder if I should have researched this more thoroughly, y'know by watching dawn of the dead, putting greasepaint and masking tape on my face and wandering around slowly at night. Having said that, perhaps my lack of zombie knowledge has helped to produce a story that's a bit different.

I'm also pleased to say I didn't have to confront any zombie 'don'ts', like should they run or traipse around, and that was thanks to Ryans imaginative script.

All in all, great fun!

Goblin Hall

Not been buying many books of late, so got myself a copy of Goblin Hall by Rob Jackson. A good read, I found myself returning to some chortleworthy bits a few times afterwards, especially a bit about worshipping a magic pig. I like the new, larger size and covers that bleed all the way to the edge. Well worth 3 spond, available from his website.

Norman

..hadn't realised he would be modelling swimwear at the charity fashion show.

A google thanks to Sarah Taylor for this one. Show me a person who doesn't find the concept of a 'mankini' funny and I'll show you a liar.

It was the 22nd of June and Norman's internet purchase wasn't all he'd hoped for...

...he'd wanted 'Three Lions' on his shirt and not 'Three lines'. Still in a couple of days it's turn out to be a wise purchase.

Thanks be to Dave West of AccentUK for this Norman. I was hoping Dave would do one as the Norman stuff fits very nicely with the style of his weekly webcomic.
