MMXV Year Overview
This dying year of 2015 has been one of extensive creativity..as well as upheavel and turmoil.
Here is a basic overview of my cartoon undertakings throughout this past 12 months, and looking back it has been a pretty creative time.
JAN-MARCH 2015 :
---the year started off well enough, with me on extended holiday, beaming in a fresh gag [ in rough sketch form] into a UK Cartoon Forum: it was only about one sketch per day, but it seemed a lot more for some reason: it was during this period I came up with THE FLY and MEDIEVEL WORLDES, both of which have moved on to 'polished glory'. The fun stopped abruptly, however, when those utter spoilsports banned me for Life from their forum. [ details of this farce can be viewed on the Unseen CCGB Forum Cartoon and CCGB Public Forum Ban postings from March 2015, on this site] .
I asked the Mods to remove all my posts and drawings from their site, but as far as I know, they are still on there, on a thread that runs to 15 or so pages, which is probably still the most-seen thread on that sites' history, for better or worse...I am still not happy about having my material very reluctantly shown on the CCGB Forum, though, despite my repeated pleas to those running the site at the top to have the decency to do so, hence my ongoing bias against that site----------
.......dunno WHY they wanna keep my stuff on there, against my will....it is no good to them, and I do not want my name or drawings associated with that site........it just seems like sheer bloody-mindedness, or perhaps uncaring neglect, on the part of the folk running that show, but there you have it. The work I am doing continues on here,-------------unaffected by pointless, anti-artistic , petty bureaucracy of that type.
APRIL-JUNE:
------the Public Forum Ban never drained my creativity, it has to be said, and if anything I am more prolific since getting the boot from the Maggie Thatchers' Starched Undies site: brand-new enterprizes from this period include ADULTOONS and KONGTOONS, worthy ventures both, the only drawback with these being they require a fair bit of time to produce properly.
JULY-SEP:
--------------The most Significant New Feature within this period was my decision to start including my own stylized versions of JUDGE DREDD as well as another new enterprize, detailing the achievements of top D C Thomson artists from the 50s-70s period. Initially, I hoped to avoid the use of copyrighted characters, full stop within this sites' content quota, however these postings have achieved the highest-rated viewing figures on this site yet, bar a sexy drawing of my own creation VERONICA out of BABY BOOMER, an image which has generated many hundreds of hits........yes, sex sells, as they say.
OCT-DEC 2015:
---------MORE new directions, including a tendency for me to veer towards more savage material, including some near-the-knuckle satirical offerings: I toyed with the idea of taking up this theme more extensively, however I have rightfully relented upon this, deciding to add in this stronger material more sparingly. I also converted the site content to contains some adult material, as will have been noticed by recent patrons to this site--------the year ended on a surprizing note [even for me] with the decision to start adding in some raw unseen material from 1989, which had languished unseen for two-and-a-half decades.
I estimate I have only screened [on this site] around a quarter or so of the drawings I have turned out during 2015.
