Reasons for No Updates, Pug and Crumbs 2000 Rap Cover

Good to see my lack of creativity for title's still hasn't changed.

Yikes, it's been a little while since I last updated this blog. I remember when I did a couple of updates a week and kept it constantly fed. I'm a terrible blog mother. Then again, this blog must be about... blimey, 4 years old now. Where does the time go?

It's not without good reason, however. I aim to only really update when I have artwork to present and as most of my work has been based on either Crumbs (which is already hosted at its web page) and projects that are still in progress, I haven't been able to share anything as of yet. It's mainly been business planning, comic pages and illustration projects.

Speaking of the later, I'm hoping to be able to share something exciting with everyone in the next few weeks. I'm not entirely sure when but it'll be up ASAP once I get the green light. Only a very small handful of people know about it so far, which will hopefully change as I will be doing more work for this project. Sorry to be so vague at the moment.

On the Crumbs front, the comic is going well, still quite quiet and still only once a week. But I'm aiming to start uploading twice a week as I organise my work better and properly plan out a buffer. Tomorrow I will only be sharing a Halloween image on the site, which should bide me some time to create a collection of pages in the meantime.

Oh yeah, no surprise to anyone, there's a pug character in Crumbs. Her name is Tita. She's adorable. I'm gonna colour this eventually, I sketched this over a month ago.


Now, I don't know how many people will be aware of this picture. I saw it on tumblr earlier this week and I've had a number of people show it to me. Now, look at this and tell me it's not the most badass thing ever.


So naturally I had to completely recreate this picture using my own pigeon characters. It was kind of a no brainer, especially as it just seemed to fit the whole theme of Crumbs in a way. I could even decide what pigeons could go were pretty much instantly.

Its not finished just yet and it probably won't be for a while. I've already coloured all the pigeons and planned out a background but I need to do shading and textures and details still. And even once its finished, it probably won't be seen until I finish the first story arc. Maybe I'll do a poster design, depending on interest.

So yeah, thats all I can show so far. Fffff, I can't wait to talk about this illustration project, keeping cool things secret is the total pits. In the meantime, read Crumbs HERE!
