Yes, that Alan Partridge quote can only mean one thing… More audible ramblings from me.

First up – An interview with the lovely fellows at Indie Spinner Rack for their latest podcast about politics-related comics. I talked to them about My Fellow Americans just a couple of hours ahead of the final Presidential debate last week. They’re based in New York so the phoneline quality is fairly poor and we had some technical difficulties during the interview but hopefully you can hear enough for it to make sense. We recorded it quite late – to accommodate the time difference – so I doubt I make much sense anyway.

Listen to it here.

Next up – if you’re not sick of my voice already – is another podcast for Electric Sheep Magazine and Panel Borders. Alex Fitch and I review a collection of David Lynch shorts and discuss the use of animation in his work, the relevance of experimental short films, and the back catalogue of Lynch’s work. We recorded it outside a pub in New Cross – hence the regular interruptions from police sirens.

Listen to it here. Or read a transcript of our conversation here.

That’s all for now.

Bit of an odd post this.

A few months ago I started drawing rough ideas for a regular, weekly strip cartoon. The theme was to be music and I drew some very basic ideas out – playing with colour schemes and layouts. For one reason or another I moved on to other projects and forgot about it all until recently. So, here they are (spelling errors and rough drawings included) – I’d be interested to hear what people think of them as this is something I’ve not tried before.
