this is a weird comic. i know. it was strange to write, but i felt like it was needed. sometimes i find that if i don’t do a strip for a while it’s like those characters are still out there, maybe wondering why i’m not around. drawing a strip like this one convinces me that they are still okay and makes me feel better for not having done any in a while. does that make me crazy? maybe…

well it’s been three years since the first little world posting on this website and about 9 year since i started drawing these little fellas. i want to give a huge thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years on this comic. As a little thank you I’ve put together a short ‘behind the scenes’ video that includes a sped up section of me drawing comic 317. I want to do more videos and if you like it, please subscribe to my youtube channel to stay up to date.
I’m also posting some preview pics of my 24 hr comic over on the facebook fan page. So head on over there if you want to check those out. The comic itself will be available in mini-comic for in April, as well as Issue 4 of The Little World main series.
I hope you enjoy the video and the previews and that you keep checking back for new comics in the new year.
cheers!

well the leaves have changed and are falling and the temps are going down. i realized it’s been over a month since my last comic posting. for shame! well, in my own defense i started a job this fall. man’s gotta eat. unfortunately that’s cut down on my drawing time (not to mention acting, writing and music time). i have managed to fit in a few gigs here and there. A wonderful radio show called Three Tales of Terror by Phillip Goodridge last month was a treat. As well as a few performances as a 18th century fife playing british soldier with the Dept of Tourism. love wearing a kilt!
when last we spoke i was gearing up for Artfusion with the Arts Assoc of Mount Pearl. It was a splendid time and I even did an on the spot commission on a fellow artist’s jacket. that was a lot of fun to work on. the Penninsula Fantasy Con has come and gone and apparently it had a great turn out. i really hope to get out there next year. i was supposed to do a workshop on sept 15 for AAMP, but unfortunately we had to cancel. hopefully it will be rescheduled soon.
two days ago i had the privilege of giving a cartooning workshop at The Arts Work Conference V, a teacher’s conference held here in St. John’s. I did a 2 1/2 hour workshop with 20 teachers and i really enjoyed it. there was lots of positive feedback and i do hope to be invited back next time.
the 24 hour comic challenge has also come and gone and i put together a comic for it. i did the challenge two years ago as well and you can check out that comic here on the site. the new comic “Circle, Square, Triangle” turned out so well that I’m going to offer it as a mini comic, so keep an eye out for that here on the site or on the facebook page.
christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat and i’m putting together a bunch of new painted pieces. these will be offered through the facebook page and would make a great and unique gift this season!
while you’re on facebook, why not check out Blast Processing? it’s a video game podcast that i co-host with two local lads. we just sit around and talk gaming news and it’s a bit of a laugh. nothing too formal, just a good time talkin’ games. if we get to 100 likes on the page we’ll be doing a giveaway. and everybody likes free stuff so you should check it out.
well, that’s it for now. i hope to get back on the wagon soon, so keep your ears to the site and to the facebook page.

Hey folks!
Well I’m back from my adventure in Grand Bank and hopping back on the cartoon horse. I’ve got a bunch of things coming up in the next little while and I hope to see you at one of them:
-First of all a shout out to the Penninsula Fantasy Con. I was supposed to appear there Sept 17 but had to cancel due to other commitments. If you’re in the Marystown area definitely stop by. It is the first year for this group and they could us lots of support. I’ve sent some signed Little World merch out their way so keep an eye out for it.
- Artfusion is happening in Mount Pearl this year on Sept 10. I’ll be in attendance selling comics and art and would love to see you there. I’m also performing that day and will have some copies of my last CD on hand. And yup, that’s a pic of me and my red guitar on the website!
-I’ll be giving a cartooning workshop on Set 15 as part of the Artfusion festival. I’ll update this post with a link to the event page as soon as it goes up.
-I’m also giving a cartooning workshop at the 2011 Arts Works Conference in Nov. This is a teacher conference, so it’s not open to the public. Still very exciting and I’m really looking forward to it.
-Breakdown Comic Jam is coming up this Friday. It’s my first one since I left for the summer and I can’t wait! If you like to draw and are in the area come on down!
that’s it for now!

Hey folks! Well it’s been a while since I’ve had a new comic online. I’ve been away doing summer stock theatre and am without my scanner of doom but I’m hope to get it in within a month and can get back to the webcomic. In the meantime I’ve been taking photos with my phone of my sketchbook and uploading lots of previews to The Little World Facebook Page. So if you’re a facebooker it’s a great place to get lots of sneak peaks at The Little World, as well as other drawing projects I’m working on (including Octopus P.I.). I also have an album full of comic art for sale and if you’re interested in any of those pieces you can contact me directly on the page or through this website. There are also a couple of preview pages of The Little World vol 1: Invasion of the Beanies. I’m very excited about that project and hope to have it wrapped up in the fall.
that’s it for now!

Hey folks! well the weather is changing and things have been a bit busy. Here’s the latest:
- Cartooning Workshop: I’m giving a Cartooning workshop on the 21st of May! It’s being hosted by the Arts Assoc. of Mount Pearl and I hope will be lots of fun. The ’shop is an hour and a half long and I’ll be covering a lot of the basics, with some focus on self publishing. It’s open to anyone from 10 and up. I’ll be in the Sir James Pearl Room, Mount Pearl City Hall. The ’shop starts at 1:30. It’s free, but you need to register by sending an email to the Arts Assoc. at info@aamp.ca. There’s also a Facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=210510432314092 Hope to see you there!
-Local Press: I was delighted to be interviewed by Shannon Duff recently for our local monthly paper The Irish Loop Post. I was even more delighted to find it was the headline story! Wowsers. Big thanks to Shannon and the Post for the coverage!
-Facebook Fan Page: Facebook has recently been making changes to their group pages and I decided this would be a great time to switch over to a Fan page. I like the fan format much better and have been doing much more with it. All you have to do is hit ‘like’ on the page to receive Little World updates in your news feed. I’ve already uploaded the first two pages of Octopus P.I. as a preview , as well as a number of art pieces that I have for sale. I’m also planning on uploaded a few preview pages of the ‘manga’ edition of The Little World 1-3, which I’m calling The Beanie Invasion. So the fan page is well worth looking into for additional news! Here’s the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Little-World/185368998180887
that’s all for now!
