Swedish

Lately I've been working on writing the text for the Swedish translation of 'Clusmy'. This is what a page of the text looks like... it's kind of weird to do, especially with a book I haven't actually picked up and looked at in a few years.

I guess almost ten years ago. Anyway, I think this'll be the first and last time I draw the text for one of my own books...

Sketchbook

Bighead Vs Chocolate Hands

Here's Bighead facing off against Chocolate Hands, a villain created by young Sam Bell of Ireland. Early on I loosely based many of the villains in Bighead on friends and people I knew, so it's fitting that Sam reportedly based Chocolate Hands on his brother...

Earwax

A while back Nick, the owner of Earwax, had an idea for this ad, which I drew in exchange for coffee and food. The original Earwax logo at the top was designed by Dan Clowes.

Not yet

No, I haven't seen Watchmen yet, but I did read the book.
