THE WHALE HOUSE continues

Just a quick update, to report that my illustration of The Whale House, part 3 continues, and has even accelerated in pace a little - I'm getting much more comfortable with the drawing of it, and am beginning to enjoy myself a little. This is the longest single comic I've ever drawn (not to mention all the issues to come after), and building up a momentum seems to be key.

Also, although the next few issues are already written (and have been since Chris Doherty was illustrating the series) drawing it myself would seem to relieve the need to fill the scripts with the sort of minute details that Chris needed to know, so I'm probably saving myself hours of writing down the line too!

WEST and THE WHALE HOUSE, in progress

Both Tim and I are now well into drawing the next issues of both West and The Whale House (that is Mississippi Shuffle and Part Three: Ordinal, respectively). Below is a page of West, showing the setting of the next storyline - the Deep South, riverboats (which Tim has been aching to draw for years), and some faces old and new - and a Whale House panel of Diggory discovering he may very well be in the wrong place at the wrong time. At time of writing, both these issues are scheduled for the ICE International Comics Show in September.
