***HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG***
Hello all, no art or nothin' today, i just wanted to mention that this blog is a whole year old as of today.
Seems wierd that i'm so used to posting now. I originally started it just so i could leave abuse over on Bob Byrne's website. He told me i should start posting but i dismissed the idea since the internet scared and confused me. Also, it required effort, and i wasn't so hot about that either. However, i was soon heading to San Diego (unlike this year) and reckoned giving my art some net presence couldn't hurt in case there was any interest in me at Comic-con. As it happens, i still don't have a website (in the process of startin one up tho) and i'm pretty sure no editor stateside has been stalking me since.
However, i've been getting into a good habit of getting work done, just so i have something to show for myself every couple of days. Also, i suppose it's worth mentioning since i started this blog, i have:
Gotten a proper job drawing comics,
Moved to a different country,
Gotten my own studio,
Done a handful of signings,
Did a couple of covers for other folks,
Created my own self-published comic,
Won an Eagle Award,
Gotten fatter,
And made a few friends on the way....
A lot has changed in a year.
So, Happy Birthday blog, 'tis been a year since i first posted on thee.....
Since it's been a year, and as far as i know, 4 people actually read this blog, so if you do check this blog the odd time, do me a favor and post a comment, to wish my blog a happy birthday, or just to curse my name and tell me how much you hate me. At least i'll know how many people read this. And hate me...

Fuck you Dec
Howdy,
Congrats Dec, you really are living the dream -- drawing and getting paid for it...can things be any sweeter? Well...I'm sure that there shiny EAGLE AWARD does add to the overall sweetness like a capsule packed with too much sweet-type-sweetness. Oh yes.
Seriously though, it's amazing what can change in a year...here's hoping the next year sees you going on to even better things. The best of luck man.
Hi Dec,
Sorry I missed your blog birthday, congrats anyway. Just thought I would drop you a line and say hi.
Names Rich been chating with Will the last few days and have just set up a blog there's a link on his page.
Just had a look at your work and have to say I like it alot. Keep it up and I'll wish you a happy birthday in a years time. Good luck.
Dec, any chance you could stick a link on your blog page too mine?
