I was thrilled to find this fan art by long time commenter Karlos in my mail. I really love his take on the Dark Ink and Shark Dog. I also find the soft colours he used
really nice for the picture. Thanks Karlos it’s really cool.

During my move I came across a couple of cartoons I had forgotten I had done, so I thought I might post some of them. Here is one I did in 2004, its based on a true event, me fishing with my buddy Jeremy. I think i had just discovered alternative comics and I wanted to make my own. You can see that Aldous’ design is something I have used before. Actually Aldous and “me” in the fishing story are both based on my first comic strip I started called Castor, which I will show everyone some day.
I was lucky to get draw a guest strip for Skar the awesome cartoonist behind Mojo comics. It comes out Monday, Sept.5 so go over and check it out and since it’s labour day take some time and read through the Mojo archives and have a good laugh.

It so happens I have gotten a new job in a new city, I’m commuting 50 min each way until we move in Sept. so I’m really busy. To help me through this busy time I have great people doing guest strips for me and I will be posting them as I receive them. I feel really lucky to get the help and support from so many talented cartoonists, I hope you all enjoy seeing them as they come up, as I do.

Tom Dell’ringa’s comic strip Marooned is one of those strips I have always meant to get around to reading but never did. Well I was missing out! 3 weeks ago I finally sat down and traveled through his archive, What great stroytelling and characters. After reading 180 strips I was so involved in the storyline that I felt the urge to draw his characters, and fired off some fan art, which you can see there today. Tom is a crafty storyteller and innovative cartoonist that is always striving to create the best comic he can, It is definitely a website worth book marking! So don’t be silly like me , check it out right away.
