You can apply all this to comics by the way...
“The comedian Simon Munnery, who invented top-selling computer games for the ZX81 whilst still a teenager, was reviewed, favourably, by the Guardian recently as ‘the closest stand-up comedy gets to art’, and has pointed out himself that this suggests that however good stand-up gets, it can never really be art. There is an impassable canyon between the two. Munnery has since...
unicornflakes asked: ELLERBY Use it to collect inspiration! That's what I use mine for. And to collect stupid stuff.
I don’t always know what to use Tumblr for, but hey if you want to ask me something you should do that. It might even be entertaining (it won’t) or well informed (nah-uh) or kinda self loathing (yeah that’s the one).

Digital comics
Okay some quick thoughts…
Some retailers got arsey with Dark Horse’s supposed plans to release their comics digitally on the same day as the print edition and a reduced cost. Some figures were thrown around the internet like 99c/$1.99 for the digital version, $2.99/$3.99 for the print. So these retailers caught wind of this and decided to cancel all of their Dark Horse orders as some...

Anthology Fear
Image from my contribution to Solipsistic Pop #4
This post is probably going to make the most sense to the artists out there, but does anyone experience soul crushing fear when drawing their comic for an anthology? I do. God, always. Pretty much every time I get invited to submit work for an anthology it leaves me confused, grumpy, and self aware of all my faults.
Why? Well, with...

Re: cosplayers and those MCM Expos
It seems like I’ve seen a whole bunch of moans and gripes about cosplayers and about the MCM Expos recently, so for no reason I thought I’d write a looooong blog about it.
Expo is not a full on comic convention, and as long as I’ve been attending them it’s never pretended to be one, it’s a pop-culture event that has a growing comic element (mainly thanks to the...

singittothesky asked: Hey. I'm the girl whose friend asked you if you have tumblr yesterday and I thought your illustrations were so awesome that I hunted you down and followed you :) Kudos on the comics, they seem really awesome and I might just have to buy one from your store. Yours might just be the first comic I ever read.
fymeg asked: Hey
My girlfriend said your comics are a bit like Daria so for that you get an intant follow :)

The Ellerday
I’m gonna start putting up some comics and bits and bobs here that don’t really belong on my portfolio site or have been lost in the internet.
This was for my pal Adam Cadwell’s webcomic The Everyday which ended last year.

Facial lines
I’ve been thinking a lot about my face at the moment, well, my cartoon face at least. You see, I’ve been working on and off on a print collection of my autobiographical webcomic Ellerbisms (which you guys know about, right?) and at the moment I’ve been drawing some new strips that take place some 4 years ago, so it’s been a little weird to go back to how I used to draw vs...

T-shirt help
I’m doing t-shirts for the MCM Expo in May but y’know I just can’t decide on what colour scheme to go for. I’ve whittled it down to navy blue on ash grey, cream on black and cream on maroon. Which takes your fancy, or do none of them work for you?
Here’s a close up of the print without it being all squished…
Hey, also I guess I have a tumblr now. Another...
