Now I’m sure you’re all too diplomatic to say so, but inking isn’t one of my strong points. There’s only one way to tackle that, though, isn’t there?  Practise!  So this is a fully inked drawing using several different types of line.  Yeah, I went for something insubstantial just to make it easy on myself!...

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Sadly I don’t have time to do a special comic for Valentines Day, but I hope you enjoy this. I don’t think he’s try to commit suicide, he just wonders what it would be like to fall in love and is willing to take the risk of getting hurt! Heck, aren’t...

Ben X is an emotional and thought-provoking ride by first-time Belgium director Nic Balthazar. Watching the trailer you might be forgiven for thinking this is a movie about the dangers of online gaming. In fact MMORPGs are portrayed realistically and in a positive light.

Specifically I could not switch from ‘pen mode’ to ‘mouse mode.’ A) I’m used to mouse mode B) I have a rather small tablet and two somewhat large monitors which led...

Aww, guineapigs are sooo cute!...

In fact there are more than a few cameos from the Atlantis cast including Hewlett’s real-life sister Kate (Jeannie), Paul McGillion (Dr.Beckett), Christopher Judge (Teal’c)...

I was interviewed about Epic Fail on Y2CL Radio and you can listen to or download the podcast here.  Aside from me talking about fascinating things you can hear some great music by Sam Letts (my sister) and Dave Letts (my Dad). A quick warning – it’s 18+ and deserves that rating...
