Finding a few hours here and there to work on the Finding a few hours here and there to work on the illustrations for my new book, Timothy the Dead Boy.

You may be dead but your Daddy still loves you.

Who said this book was dark?

Well, after all my big talk of finishing this last Well, after all my big talk of finishing this last night it took today to see it through.

And now we're BOTH finished.
They can sweep around me.

Tonight's the night I wrap this up...probably.

I think that's enough for one day. Didn't get as I think that's enough for one day.

Didn't get as far as I'd hoped but it's taking shape.

I had Tori Amos to get me through the last few hours, it'll take Iron Maiden to get me home!

I've never used this little brush before but it's I've never used this little brush before but it's perfect for getting sharp, straight edges.

Hard to do at the best of times, even harder while listening to Peter Kay's audiobook 🤣

Started the second of the two murals and spent the Started the second of the two murals and spent the entire day with tri-squares and spirit levels drawing lines to hundreds of measurements.

No paint on yet, I think it's the first time the drawing has taken a full day.
Worth it though.

I had Little Richard, @thepoguesofficial and Sorry and the Sinatras to keep me sane.

I proudly proclaimed in January I was illustrating I proudly proclaimed in January I was illustrating my new children's book to be released at @enniskillencomicfest1 in June.

Well, these past few weeks have made clear that deadline isn't going to happen. There's just way too much painting still to do.

Disappointing but I always have a plan B so without further ado, please say hello to Timothy, the Dead Boy. Don't shake his hand, it may come off.
This book is probably (almost definitely) not for children, it's for the same grown up weirdos who liked The Twins' Little Book of Death.
You know who you are, WE know who you are.

So, literally back to the drawing board but this one I can get done in time...hopefully! I can get back to work on plan A after that.

Even if I end up looking like young Timothy come June, I WILL be at ComicFest with my new book, come with me into the darkness once more.

As it's International Women's Day I thought I'd sa As it's International Women's Day I thought I'd say thank you to the two who loom largest in my life - my mother, Maureen and my wife, Jo.
Both of you have shaped my life in so many ways and are the strongest, funniest, most gentle and clever people I know.
Happy World Book Day. As a treat to myself I'm spe Happy World Book Day.
As a treat to myself I'm spending the day working on my own book, a tribute to 1950's sci-fi.
Here's a very small sneak peek at one of the illustrations.
Whatever you're reading (or writing) at the moment, try to find a few minutes to get lost in a story.

I also got a preview of the songs and they're going to blow the roof off the place.
Bodhi had fun too.
Good music and good friends, that's a good Saturday.

I've always wanted to paint a big farmhouse next to a cornfield so I wrote one into the story.

WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY? WHY - IT'S A FLYING SAUCER WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
WHY - IT'S A FLYING SAUCER!

This week last year I sketched out storyboards for a new book. I wrote the story during the first lockdown while binging on 1950's sci-fi and now, finally I've given myself another week to begin illustrating it digitally.

I've been looking forward to getting stuck into this for a long time, working from home in my socks, listening to @typeonegativeofficial - a rainy Monday well spent.

One of the jobs I've loved most these last few yea One of the jobs I've loved most these last few years is illustrating the Cavan/Monaghan Science Week website. Those lovely people just let me be me.
There are lots of events on for those of us interested in the mysteries of the universe.

THE DANCE Through rain, hail and snow (well, not THE DANCE

Through rain, hail and snow (well, not quite) I finally finished this mural three weeks after I started. Many parts were painted, washed down the drain and painted again.

There'll always be compromises with a damp wall but I'm happy with how it's turned out and it's a lovely hidden mural to just stumble across on your walk under the bridges in Enniskillen.

Thanks @experience_enniskillen for once again letting me loose, I've loved it.

I hope you love it too.

That is unless I go check today and it's all washed down the drain...again.
