Ollie and Quentin

These are some examples of a typical storyboard for one of my “Doodle Ads.” These preliminary sketches sit on a music stand next to me so I can copy them as we are filming.

For those of you worried about the end of the World on Friday…

Many thanks to Facebook’s “Santa’s Helpers” for this fantastic Icky McGee (The Beast of Bigley Bay) pumpkin. Brilliant and terrifying don’t you agree?

Today’s Ollie and Quentin comic on GoComics is probably the riskiest I ever got through. Glad it did because it’s one of my favourites.

You can read my comic every day here. It’s free and there are loads of other strips too. Some are nearly as funny as mine! I highly recommend “Bewley” by Anthony Blades. It’s British and hilarious.

So go on, visit GoComics and subscribe to Ollie and Quentin.

Most of my time is taken up with my fantastically exciting new Doodle Ads venture (which is really taking off) but I still manage some illustration work for my regular clients when I can. Here’s what I’ve been doing lately…

If you live in the UK you can get 20% off the Ollie & Quentin Book until 7th September by using the above code at the Lulu website checkout. Click here if you’ve been putting off the moment because it’s just been too expensive to date.

(US readers, your version of the book is already much cheaper than the UK version so don’t feel left out. Long story). Click here to check it out in the US.

A difference between newspapers and the web is what’s deemed acceptable. The ‘Warm Patch’ comic above was allowed in newspapers but the ‘Twinkle’ one wasn’t. Both are pretty tame INMHO. In fact I would say the ‘Warm Patch’ comic is ruder.
