Yes, I have now finished drawing...now scanning and lettering!


Okay, well at times I did not think that I would get there but despite all the things messing me about....

I have just finished erasing any pencil work showing on Year o0f the Werewolf and everything is complete at 87 pages. Yep, I went and did another big 'un -well, it is a comic album so 48-90+ pages is acceptable. Not one of my infamous 300+ pagers!

I'll start scanning on Sunday or Monday and begin lettering once that is done. Then I just have to letter the 130+ pages of Parallel Motions and then I need to finish the second part of the 1986/87 Earth Beat story for the Special Globe Guard first issue (issue 3 is already lettered).

Unfortunately I doubt I will ever get to draw any of the other stories I have in my head as I am only one aging old fart so it's a case of do what you can. So stay tuned!

UGH! Slight delays. Roof repaired and a new guttering fitted now I have to wait for the man to come cut a hole in our ceiling, replace the board and then wait again for a plasterer a week later.

All this delays things but I will catch up especially after three weeks of the worst eye strain I've had.
