the little world

well hello there folks, i’m writing to you from the lovely town of grand bank on the burin peninsula! i’ll be out here all summer long working for the grand bank regional theatre festival.  hence the lack of updates the past two weeks.  i expect my updates to be pretty sporadic until work starts to calm down a bit, but i did want you to know that i’m still here and i’m still drawing.  i’m hoping very much to get the third issue of the little world mini comic series done over the summer and be ready for sale in the fall.  so definitely keep an eye out for that.

also you may have noticed a new menu item at the top of the page.  it’s a comic i had put together an entry for a local comic competition called Meanwhile.  since it didn’t make the cut i’m now offering the strip on the site.  i’d love to do a mini comic version so let me know what you think.

cheers

well it’s been a crazy time.  especially if you look at that little calendar to the right.  it’s been two months of very spotty posting.  but Sci Fi On the Rock went really great so it was totally worth it.  i met lots of great people and my presentation went pretty good I think.   A big thank you to the organizers for a great con, especially Darren and Steve for inviting me.  I also want to thank Jennifer for all her help, from folding, cutting, photocopying and helping at the table during the weekend.  I also want to thank Ali and Chris as well.  I really couldn’t have gotten everything together without all the help.   Here’s a pic of Jen at the Little World booth on  the first day:

we did much better than expected at the con and still have merch left over.  i’ll be giving the webstore an overhaul over the next week or so so those of you who couldn’t make it will still have a chance to purchase some of the goods.  i should also be getting back to an ordinary update schedule now.  I had plenty of time to draw at the con and have a ton of new strips all ready to go.

thanks to everyone who stopped by and made the weekend fantastic!

Hey folks!  So this weekend I’ll be at Sci Fi on the Rock IV.  I’ll be set up in the dealers room on both days and I’ve got lots of new little world merchandise:

-The Little World Issue 1 (reformatted)

-The Little World Issue 2

-The Minimalist Takes a Walk

- Little World Collected Strips vol.1

-The Little World Tee Shirt!

-a selection of bookmarks

-a selection of matted watercolor/ink pieces

Most of these products are brand new and not yet available on the website.  So Sci-Fi on the Rock is your best place to get these.

In addition I’ll have two small demo decks of the Little World TCG for those who are curious. These aren’t for sale, but you’re welcome to try out a round or two with me a the table.

I’ll also be in the Lucas Room at 11am on Saturday giving a talk on cartooning.  So if you’re interested in being a cartoonist, or looking for some tips or if you’re simply curious about the process, then come along.

It’s going to be a great weekend at the Holiday Inn and I hope you can all make it out!

Heya folks. Well February was a little spotty in the little world. I was working on two other projects that really took a lot of time. The first was an album for RPM 2010. if you like you can check that out here :http://kevinwoolridge.rpmchallenge.com/
the second project was a board game. yup i’m pretty geeky. i’ve posted a pic of that project here:

but now we’re into march and i’m back on the cartooning horse. the next strip will be my 200th and I’m holding a give away. the first five people who comment on the strip on the site will get a prize. i’ll contact the winners via email to arrange mailing details. how easy is that?

next month (April 17-18th) is Sci Fi on the Rock IV here in St. John’s. I’m a guest of the convention and will be giving a talk/workshop on cartooning. I’ll also have a table set up for the weekend, doing sketches and selling little world merch. i’m expecting to have three minis for sale there as well as some t-shirts, bookmarks, buttons etc. it’s going to be a great weekend so come on down!

details on the convention can be found here:

lastly, i’ve started archiving all my political comics for the Current online. The comic is called The Opposition and you can find them in their temporary home here:

well that’s a lot of links and a lot of news. thanks to everyone who’s supported me over the last 200. i hope to be drawing these for a long time to come!

cheers

well Hourly Comic Day was two days ago.  It was a blast and I’ve uploaded my hourly comics under the gallery section of the page.  or if you don’t want to look up at the menu you could always click here.  It’s something I’ll definitely be doing  again.

Friday is the first local Comic Artists Breakdown.  I’m really looking forward to it, but I’m also a bit nervous.  I’m still relatively new to the comic strip game which means I’m still in that insecure stage. I’m going to bring down the second mini that I’m working on and try to get a page or two done on it.   I’ll let you all know how it goes.

This month is RPM month and I’m participating in that.  It’s a challenge to record an album in a month.  Once I get some demos up on the official site I’ll link it to from here.

that’s about it for now.

cheers
