K-9Lives Episode 2

I am taking a break from the comic. At this point in time I don't know whether I will continue in the new year or not. I have a number of other obligations to address including two other comic projects which are proving more satisfying and popular than this so we will see.

In the mean time I have started work on the next animated episode of K-9Lives. So if you want to see more comics then help spread the word about the films. Below is my new show-reel for 2010, which I am currently using to find a job in character animation. If you watch till the end you will see the first minute of animation on episode 2. SNEAK PEEK!

I'll keep the blog updating with progress on the film.

K-9Lives: Episode 1 is now online and you can watch it here! It is the first strip I did of this series and hopefully it will draw in some new readers to the comic. Please share the link with friends! I Directed, Animated, wrote and performed the music, recorded the sound effects and everything else on this film! I hope to do more and explore these characters on this different platform.

So the film is instead of today's comic but next week we'll be back to normal. I’m changing the layout of the blog a bit from here on out. From now on I will put each story arc into one blog post, that way you can read it from top to bottom of the page rather than reading backwards. I think when some people are coming to the blog they get a little confused about what’s going on because they’re reading everything backwards! So in order to try to make it clearer for new readers we’ll try out this new method. I will also number each page for further clarity and each story will be given a title.

Everything up to this point is in the book K-9Lives. So head to the store to pick up a copy. On Monday we are treading new ground so I have altered the layout slightly and changed some of my drawing tools to get a nicer look. If anyone is interested it is a faber-castell brush pen that I’ve adopted.
