Tea Time!

My dad funded a pottery painting adventure so we borrowed the paints from the shop and set to work!

It took me about 3 days to paint my teapot and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Now I can finally have a cuppa tea! XD

I also painted a plate to put cake on while enjoying my teabreak, it stars Tao and Zen my gerbils. To stop them nibbling on my snack I also painted sunflower seeds on the plate for them.

Ryki TPB!

In a far and distant past life I was a comic book artist! X3

Ok so I still could be one, but well recently my creative urges have taken me in other directions.

However my first ever proper comic was sitting sadly neglected and unpublished and I decided it was time to get it out there into the world.

So after a long wait the Ryki TPB collecting issues 1-3 of my and Chris Sawyers comic Ryki plus loads of extras such as sketches and pin-ups, is avaliable now.
It's 124 pages B&W with full colour wrap-round cover and suitable for all ages.

Here's the blurb:
Brash and advanced, the Teku control any aspect of the mystical Eeko they wish. These conditions have done nothing to dampen the spirit of the Eeko. From their distorted past, looms a broken present and a questionable future. One brave Eekoian sets out on an adventure that will change the fate of an entire planet and will lead him back to the one place he does not want to return. Home.

It's 170 pages B&W with full colour wrap cover and suitable for all ages.

Well, there's only so much room on my fridge for bateria, and since I'd feel bad disinfecting such cute bugs I've decided to sell them on Etsy instead!

That's right, you can start your very own bateria colony with these Bateria Buddies sets!
