And that is page 38 of chapter 4 of JINGLE SQUAD inked - now for some colours & lettering, & then on with the final 2 chapters - It's been a long journey for @rorydraws4.bsky.social @andylanning.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social, but it's starting to feel like the end is in sight... maybe 😀

Waited 40 years to buy a 'new' M.A.S.K toy. A little sad the rest of the order hasn't appeared as this one is a touch underwhelming as a boxed item. Fingers crossed the mainline items arrive soon and hit that vintage collecting spot...

Production on JINGLE SQUAD passed the halfway mark over Crimbo & to celebrate (but also so @rorydraws4.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social could enjoy the fruits of their labours over the last year) the folks over at Shift ran off some sample copies. Very Cool.

My first toy purchase of the year. Fantastic set to complement the 2 Target exclusive Order 66 waves, now to get those...

Before Crimbo I shared part of the bonkers page from Chapter 4 of JINGLE SQUAD that @rorydraws4.bsky.social was working on. Post Crimbo @robjoneswrites.bsky.social has gotten his mitts on it and ratcheted up the bonkers even more... Can't wait for the colours...

Just to prove that Stephen Sansweet's Action Figure Archive is a bad influence on me.... More SW figures I probably didn't need (but had to have) arrived today....

My wife bought me this 27 years ago - it has proven to be both the best gifts she's ever bought me and the worst... Best because it amazing, worst because it encourages me to spend money on SW toys every time I open it 😀

This may be the final page in ANGEL EYES (theshift.store/products/ang...)
But it's probably my favourite page in the entire book....

Moving from Inks to Colours is always a joy to watch.
@rorydraws4.bsky.social @andylanning.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social are doing an amazing job bringing JINGLE SQUAD to life.

After a long week away with work, getting home to find this waiting was a lovely treat. I am lucky enough to have met Brian Hickey a few times and saw a few early pages of this back at Farthest From in 2024, so to get the final book in had is great, and it is amazing - a real treasure trove.

End pages.. Whats the deal? as JINGLE SQUAD is only my 2nd GN I'm learning a lot as we go. For example, the chapters are all different lengths so @rorydraws4.bsky.social & @robjoneswrites.bsky.social needed to get a creative ensuring each chapter started on an even No. can anyone say wrapping paper.

The most important element of creating anything is the team you put together & for my first All Ages Graphic Novel - JINGLE SQUAD I couldn't ask for a better team than @andylanning.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @rorydraws4.bsky.social - Comic Book Gold 😀

As a battle hardened, black-ops unit in the elf army JINGLE SQUAD needed one thing, an insignia... @rorydraws4.bsky.social knocked this out the park & I think he, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social should get this tattooed somewhere secret once the book launches & goes mega...

A little real world share and an early Crimbo present to myself: 5 down 1 to go... These Saga Deluxe sets are great, but surprisingly hard to track down a full set these days....

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring... Except for Santa, his cohort of trusty elves a hapless human & a platoon of Killer Robot Snowmen, guns ablaze... Merry Christmas
