Nutso Special Offer - Coming Soon!

I've been approached by the site, Game du Jour, and as a result will be offering Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso for half the regular price for one day only. This fantastic event takes place on the 27th May, but I thought that I'd give you plenty of advanced warning. Be sure to mark your diaries! However, don't worry too much about that as I'll be posting further news nearer the time

Mr. Smoozles - something new

I was on the verge of putting Mr. Smoozles on hold for a while as I was a little unhappy with some of the scripts I'd written, then I had a minor brainwave. Today (Wed 25th April) sees the start of a longer ongoing story for Mr. Smoozles and the large team of characters. I hope you'll find the time to check it out on my website.

So Blonde - an interview

The Broken Sword fan site, Broken Sword Rus, has just posted an interview they conducted with me about the game, So Blonde, which I've been working on for Wizarbox. This link will take you to the English version, so there's no need to polish up your Russian skills. :)

0.5C and Mr. Smoozles

The fourth episode of 0.5C has just been posted on my website.

I'd like to apologise for the lack of Mr. Smoozles updates during the last week but I've had an incredible amount of work to complete for a very tight deadline so I just couldn't spare the time. Back to normal this week.

Thanks for your patience.

0.5C - a third strip

I've just posted the third episode of my new comic strip. In spite of being overloaded with work I squeezed in the time to pull it together. Got to try and build some momentum :)

Seeds and Bridges - concert series

For those interested in music that goes way beyond the bland nature of much of today's popular offerings, why not try out a series of concerts in my home town of Hull. More information about the Seeds and Bridges concerts can be found on their MySpace page. Some excellent tracks on the page, too, to act as a taster.

0.5C - the irony is too much...

There is no new 0.5C strip this week. I must have been tempting fate too much by creating a comic strip about people approaching fifty - I injured my back on Saturday doing some digging in the garden and I'm too uncomfortable to sit at the drawing desk and pull the strip together.

At some point, when I've thought about it a little more, this will probably become the subject of one of the episodes. :)

In order not to leave you completely devoid of new updates, I posted a sketch I did of a new character who will appear in a couple of weeks.
