Update: 20 January 2008
Happy New Year to you all, hoping you all had a great Christmas break. As you can see we’ve been updating the site a little, behind the scenes I’ve also been busy working on Scottish author Matt Hamilton’s debut novel ‘Strathcarnage’, the book will have about 16 chapter illustrations, accompanied by smaller illustrations throughout the text. Set in the mythical Scottish village of ‘Strathcarnage’, founded beneath cliffs by shipwrecked lunatics generations before, the central narrative concerns itself with a number of deaths of the debauched inhabitants as detailed in the town’s very own ‘death books’, yet these tales are encapsulated within a greater storyline unfolding though out the book. Something in the vein of television’s ‘League of Gentlemen’, told with fantastic pace and imagination. The official release date for the book is still not confirmed, but updates with news and teaser artwork will be posted very soon. For anyone who can’t wait that long and would like a little introduction to Matt’s work, and mind, he has set up his own website for the town here: www.strathcarnage.com ‘Abandon all hope ye who enter…’
After ‘Strathcarnage’ will be another picture book written and illustrated by myself, a sort of a macabre take on Bonny and Clyde, We are also working on a new online comic, intended to be updated on a weekly basis, called ‘Lucky-Paw’, more very soon on that as well.
Happy 2008!
