Jabberwocky

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!


I'm having huge fun with Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. This take on the titular beast may well be a cover version of John Tenniel's frankly quite fearsome original, but I've tried throwing in a bit of extra whiffle and burble to highlight the absurd comedy lurking alongside the weird terror.

Musical Batman


I'm not entirely sure what this is all about, but a friend asked if I fancied submitting something, and the answer was never going to be "no", was it?

Huge Website Update!

'Just finished burdening nelson-evergreen.com with roughly twelve month's worth of illustrations and comic strips. It's the longest I've ever gone without updating the site, which is purely down to the existence of this blog. It's so much easier to just shove new work up on here as and when it happens.

So as you'd expect, most of the "new" stuff has already been showcased 'round these parts... although happily there are a few exceptions:



'Damienne Hobbs Reflects'
This appeared in New British Comics #1 earlier this year. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, but had to admit that I'd bitten off more than I could chew in regards to juggling the rendering with the deadline. So it made good sense to hurl some spit and polish at it for it's online debut. Think of it as the director's cut...



'John Henry - Hammerin' Hero'
A kids' graphic novel for Stone Arch Books. I posted the cover recently, but you can now see a selection of the interior pages too.



'Burn Zombie Burn'
A five page comic to promote the PS3 game of the same name.



'Dishcloth Of The Damned'
Another collaboration with Mr Paul O'Connell; we knocked out this demented one-pager for the second (zombie themed) issue of Slave Labor Graphics' "Fat Chunk" anthology.

Elsewhere, the childrens' illustration section has received a particularly hefty boost to it's line-up - it's just about trebled in size! Feel free to have a good rummage.

And finally, there'll be a particularly revolting new episode of Shadowquake & Shnookie appearing in the next few days...
