You've been watching those late night Steven Segal movies again haven't you Stu? I knew no good would come of it...

Your site's coming together nicely, my friend!

I'll send you some of your old art next week when I have the advantage of works Broadband. I'm guessing you probably don't want to display the Primary School stuff eh?

Just sent you a new three pager. Look forward to seeing your artistic interpretation.

It's the highlight of my year to be working with you again. Welcome back, Stu!

Viva ROK! ;)

I adore your stuff. I'd kinda like it if these comics came to life, personified as a human being, so that I could marry it and make it happy forever. So, good work!

Much appreciated.

Though I fear that if you were to marry any of my strips, it would lead to a very bitter divorce, and a custody battle for the deranged mutant children.

Dave, I think you and Stu are evil twins, love what you have done so far, cant wait for the rest of Red Bleeder, its brilliant mate, its great when cunning plans start to come together

Might be a while before I get the chance to do more comic scripts, due to the other big project we're all working on together (which is going very well indeed).

Should have more time free after Halloween though (as that's also the date for release of issue 2 of the 100% Biodegradable anthology I'm working on).

You and Stu Smith came along at just the right time, it seems.

Thanks for the add!

The Jesus Hates Zombies anthology seems to be shaping up nicely. I always enjoy the previews. You've marketed the series pretty well, and recruited some damn fine artists by the looks of things.

Excellent stuff. :D

The Fuzzmeister joined up yesterday, and can be found at comicspace.com/phuz

Presently he's experimenting with 3d packages, so I'm sure there'll be some right good eyepopping art from him soon.
