Cat Cassidy on ICN

The good people over at Irish Comics News are currently doing a spotlight on some Irish comic creators, and last week they were good enough to post up a story from issue 3 of Short Sharp Shocks, The Adventures of Cat Cassidy. You can go have a look here:

It begins again!

Here's the first page I've done for the next installment of Short Sharp Shocks. I was going to say something amusing  but its waaay to early in the morning... enjoy!

Back from the abyss....

OK, so its been an embarrassingly long time since I updated this blog, so I should have loads of stuff to write about right? Well.... probably. I have been doing a lot of stuff in the last while, but mostly for other people so there's not too much to talk about. I did two strips for the first issue of Lightning Strike (the second issue is out now too!), and a cover for Abandoned Comics Blackstar Issue 1 (also on sale now). I've also been doing a lot of private commission stuff, which is cool to do but I don't get to show it off.
As for my own stuff? well Short Sharp Shocks is three issues old now and I'm going to start on issue four (soon, I promise!), but they are all on sale in most Dublin comic book shops. If you haven't picked them up yet, here's a link to a couple of reviews to help you make up your mind:

I'll be updating the blog a bit more regularly as I go along with the production of issue 4. I'm also taking down the dedicated Short Sharp Shocks blog to kind of streamline things a bit (and because typing in www.shortsharpshockscomic.blogspot.com is a pain in the wrist!). So stay tuned! And since you have been so good in reading all the way down to here, here's some pretty pictures!
