Orful Comics News: 4 November 2011
4 November 2011
Hi all, how’s things?
Despite a few cock-ups with the scheduling, today’s comic is UP! go check it out here!
What else is happening at Orful Comics HQ?
Well it was MCM Expo at the weekend. Had a thoroughly good, if not tiring, time. I’ll do a proper blog post about it when I’m somewhere with internet properly so I can upload pics etc. But in brief, had a great time and thanks to everyone who came along, bought stuff or just said hello.
Been hard at work on my Paper Science entry too. REALLY happy with how it’s looking and can’t wait to get it finished and sent off to Matt. Not sure of exact release date for PS7 yet but will let you know as soon as I do. You can pre-order them here though
I very nearly ran out of Scene City 1 at the weekend! I’m down to my LAST 8 COPIES!! Who’d have thunk it eh? Thank you so much to everyone who’s bought one and made it the success I’d never even dreamed of! I’ve loved hearing everyone’s feedback on it at shows too. That said, it is time for a re-print. Thought Bubble is just three weeks away (two weeks maybe? I forget) and I’m well gonna need more than 8 copies there. So last night I was hard at work re-doing the PDF for the second printing! I’ve changed a few bits that I wasn’t entirely happy with the first time around but otherwise it’s the same story and artwork with slightly better layouts and hopefully an improved cover. Still not sure if it’ll be ready in time for Thought Bubble but I will let you know.
Also, I am supporting Movember this year! I will be letting my moustache grow throughout this month to raise cash for research into prostate cancer. I’ve never tried to grow a moustache before so no idea how well it will go. Anyways, I’d really appreciate it if you could take the time to DONATE what you can to support this fantastic cause!
Anyhow, that’s all for now
Hope y’all have a good weekend

Orful Comics News: 21 October 2011
21 October 2011Hey all!
New comic up over at the website
What’s been going on lately at Orful Comics HQ then? I’ve been pretty hard at work actually on various things. Most recent of which is preparations for MCM Expo next weekend. Since I’m still technically homeless and all my stuff is in boxes, I’ve spent the past few hours tearing apart my parent’s garage trying to find everything I need. Made quite a mess, oops! Regardless, I think I have everything. Can’t really take as much as I’d ideally like to though as I have to spend the next two weeks living out of a suitcase and so need to fill SOME of it with clothes.
I am however taking ALL THE REMAINING Scene City 1s with me! There’s only 35 left and although I won’t get rid of them ALL at MCM, I will most likely be rid of them by the end of Thought Bubble. Time for a re-print I think!
You can find me at MCM at table A5 in the Comic Village, just opposite the signing table
What else have I been doing?
Been storyboarding the comic wall for the Ben Kinsella Exhibition I mentioned last week. It’s looking good but it’s just started to sink in how much work there is to do on it! I sense quite a few late nights in the up-coming months…
Also been working on a page for WAW+P‘s Paper Science 7. I’ve had all year to do this, the deadline is December, and I only just start this week. Bloody typical eh? Did a rough storyboard for it last night and quite happy with the direction it’s going in. Can’t wait to get it finished up now.
As much as I’d like to be working on it, Scene City 3/4 is kind of on hold (again) for a bit while I get other projects out the window. Also sad to say that I might have to miss a website update soon. This being homeless thing has gone on for longer than I was hoping and it’s making it difficult to stick to usual schedules. It’s rubbish, I know, but hopefully back to normality soon enough
ANYWAYS, that’s enough for now
Toodle-oo
