The AHL in "The Case of Doc Whirlwind and the Shrinkeriser"  

A short four-page story introducing two new characters into the world of Candleman!

Short Strips 

Sometimes one or two pages suffice. Especially good for short attention spans.

Candleman Shorts  

Like animation, but done in real time. The results are startling.

Will you gentlemen be attending the Bristol Comic Expo thing on May 12th? If you can get your friend to come "in character" I’m sure you would get in for free and then you could get him beaten by local youths later in town. Not only would it be funny but if you film it you have another short for youtube. It’s a winning combo.

Me and Dylan will be attending, possibly Brian will pop along too. We’re going mainly to drink and point at people that we HOPE are more nerdy and less attractive than us.

[ Posted by Candleman on Mar 7th, 2007 7:10 PM ]... Why, thankyou. The more types the better. We must be doing something right, then. Candleman keeps getting shinier and crazier all the time! I like your idea of pasteable comics. Catchy. It's just a pity that ComicSpace doesn't allow object code (yet?). Candleman's still stuck mostly in Old-Skool Web 1.0 Land, if you don't count this site and our YouTube vids. Cheers, Geoff

	[ Posted by Candleman on Jan 26th, 2007 8:00 PM ]... Thanks very much. I'm still working through your archive, there are some very subtle and touching stories at work - the combination of those plus the rather shocking ones kind of keeps me on my toes emotionally. "First Kiss" is great. Don't miss the next two Candleman pages on Saturday. I reckon they're the best yet. (I'm improving...)
	[ Posted by MtMoriah on Jan 27th, 2007 11:08 AM ]... I'm glad you are enjoying the archives. I will be back to updating soon. I'm in the middle of a move, and I had to break down the studio. AND, I will be sure to check in with Candleman this weekend. Great stuff.
	[ Posted by Candleman on Jan 27th, 2007 7:17 PM ]... That's interesting, seeing as I'm in the middle of getting together my own little studio. I'm trying to learn to draw better, so I can realise my own stories - and possibly draw a Candleman story or two myself. My drawing style is very different to Chris'(Who draws it) style.

I am very impressed by your on-line presence...Candleman is very solid. I can learn a lot from you guys! Thanks for the Add!

[ Posted by Candleman on Jan 21st, 2007 2:16 PM ]... Thanks. Finding other flash comics is always a challenge. You just came to us! Been reading Oxblud, it's got some great colouring. Still looking through your website. Every flash comic we see is really different from everyone else's. I think they have the potential to be the most interesting form of "infinite canvas" style comics, as well as the other unusual elements like animation & interactivity. Our work has improved vastly over the past year, but we've still got far to go. We're also trying for a short B&W print story this year, so look out for it!

Neato! Your art style reminds me a bit of Jim Mahfood.
