Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Maybe it's because of the cold weather and all the talk of snow in the UK, but I just did this quick drawing based on the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back and playing around with brush pens and Photoshop...

Its a me, Mari-snow!

So, while Snow-maggedon continues, I thought I'd draw a Nintendo-themed Christmas picture, just for fun...

28 Comics Later... Day Nine

...I'm sure a Psychiatrist would have a lot to say about today's comic!

Thanks to Paul Giles for his comments to one of my previous comics, which served as my inspiration. From there the idea sort of developed and what started out as a 3-panel comic, expanded to first six and eventually nine panels. I'm happy with the final work and think that it benefits from the slightly slower pace the extra panels creates.

28 Comics Later... Day Seven

So the snow has melted quite a bit, but with news of more snow on the way before the weekend, I was feeling a bit fed up today. And that got me thinking about my 4-year-old self that loved the snow and got so excited when it did snow...

28 Comics Later... Day Four

Okay, so it's all gone a bit bloody meta... I blame the snow!

I've been inside all day, updating my CV, filling out a few job applications, and scribbling ideas for today's comic. I had quite a few different thoughts, and they all seemed to revolve around the snow, but nothing that really formed into a complete idea. My final comic was a reaction to some of my more abstract concepts...



I'm rather pleased with how this comic turned out. And it was also rather fortunate that my recent experiments with using a more monotone colour palette for my comics enabled me to visually differentiate between fiction and "reality".

I really will go out tomorrow, regardless of the snow!

28 Comics Later... Day Three

...but it is now! Okay, so this morning when I woke up and saw the distinct lack of snow outside, it gave me the idea for this comic. But then while I was drawing it, it did actually start to pick up a bit, to the point where it was like a mini-blizzard outside at one point. Typical!
