Hey there!

So apparently i haven't updated this in over 8 months?! How did that happen!?

Well i'm back.. not that i ever really left, with some updates and the likes.
First off i just wanted to thank everyone on their feedback on the work i have put up (not much i know, there'll be more i swear!)

The majority of my year has consisted of being a dad, (the boy is 2 years old in a couple of weeks) and working on my comic 'Coal Nation'. After a multitude (that's right a multitude) of rewrites and stuff-ups its finally getting somewhere. I've figured out how i want it to look, and of course have chosen the hardest way to make it happen... At least all those portraits i did at the start of the year have come in handy. I uploaded a page from the comic a while ago and have since totally changed it. I'm submitting it to some publishers over the next few weeks so fingers crossed people!

I will upload some images and pages after the submission has been sent off.

Hmmm.. i thought this journal would be heaps more exciting than this..

I hope all is well in your worlds, feel free to drop by and say howdy anytime. I'm on here pretty much everyday.. lurking in the shadows...

Peace, love and respectahhh!

Luke.

... and a big warm welcome to 2009!!!

I hope you all have a safe and radical New Year. Your support has helped me a lot this year, i can never thank you enough.

If you get a chance, check out the 4 new deviations i just uploaded. A bit different, but i hope you like.

Take care, be safe and be happy. I hope all your dreams come true this year and in the near future.

Luke

PS. I have never had a new years resolution before.. so this year i plan to learn to play the piano & how to speak Spanish.

Hey all,

I just wanted to apologise for my lack of updates of late. It would seem i temporarily fell off the edge of the planet.

I have spent the last couple of months writing, drawing and being a full time dad basically.. it's been pretty damn awesome.. I just uploaded the first image from, 'Coal Nation' my new comic i've been planning for aggggeeessss. It's all coming together and i wanted to show y'all at least a little bit of it. It's going to be a challenge, but i believe in it.. so it's all worth it!

Sorry that seems a little wanky.. Hope you like 'The Girls' and enjoy my new stuff as i get it out there!

We started after midnight on Saturday morning, and i finished uploading just after midnight Sunday morning!

Honestly, it was just a hell of a lot of fun.

It was good to work with someone as well, just for some ideas, etc. Really cool.

The Comikaze 24 hour Challenge is on again!

For those unfamiliar with the challenge, you basically spend 24 hours straight creating a comic book. The prizes are pretty awesome, but unfortunately only apply to Australian residents.. Wait a minute! That's me!!! The main rule is that you MUST begin and finish within a 24 hour period. There are numerous prizes for 24 page, 16 page and 8 page entries so there's no real excuse not to have a go at it! (Aside from that whole lack of sleep thing.. pfft! What'd sleep ever do for anyone?!)

Even if you don't live in Oz, it's a great opportunity to get your work out there. Hundreds of people compete, judge and simply view the comics as they get uploaded.

The event is held annually and seems like a hell of a lot of fun!

This year will be my first year competing, and i am teaming up with a writer friend. The results could be good.. or terrible, but it will be a laugh either way.

The Comikaze 24hr Challenge is held over the Queens Birthday weekend in Australia, which is only a week away! So log in to the forum, sign up and get crackin'!!!!

Check it out here -->[link] (or click the banner).

Make sure you let me know if you're gonna compete, so i can see what you come up with!
