A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Finally got around to watching, "The Devil's Backbone" the other night after having it sit in the to-watch pile for far too long. And that visual of Santi as a ghost was still hanging in my mind.

"Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You--", quick dinner procrastination and working my way through M.R. James' short stories.

It's the middle of the year. Been over a year now since I last created a sequential page and over 2 years since I last actually broke a complete story... I'm kinda itching to create *something* but have nothing to actually really to say or draw.

My favourite game at the moment is to see how wildly priced my books are from different retail/online vendors.

In unrelated news, "Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror" (ISBN: 9781925956917) is now available to pre-order through your local bookstore (or online!): newsouthbooks.com.au/books/bristl...
Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror
Tense. Unsettling. A haunting, yet ferocious body horror story in a rural setting, with a cast like no other. Amelia is a young woman haunted by deep trauma, but what hides in The Cove will dwarf thos...

My PHP skills are rusty & I spent an hour fixing a caching issue, but now the site works.

So if you want to read the first book I published &/or you're interested in #comics about #depression & #mentalhealth, check out "Kinds of Blue", my anthology of short comics:

Cover for "Kinds of Blue: An anthology of short comics about depression", featuring a woman standing under a raining umbrella against a dark cloudy background.

Spent all day (and last night) trying to clean up the pre-press file on the next Art Book (transparencies and greyscale conversions were giving me grief).

Finally get it sorted, start uploading it to the Portal and while I was waiting, did another pass and found some text completely covered.

UGH.
