Malaria 9 Sequel: Progress!

The original cyberpunk/horror action thriller Malaria 9 introduced us to the quirky team of Angela 'Dawn' Saxon, her tech-head buddy 'Skidd' Marx, and wolfish dog, Cromwell. The book ended with the assurance that they would all return in a future sequel, which for various reasons has been languishing in oblivion since 2013. Other projects came and went in the meantime but the idea was always there on the backburner.

Even though graphic art is now Chaz's main focus, the sequel is back in production with fresh ideas and a storyline which picks up six months after the revelations at the end of the previous book. With over 50 pages of text previously in the bag and provisionally titled Londinium's Burning, here's a sneaky preview of the latest cover concept - albeit a composite of recent drawings, the elements seem to work well together. Dawn and company ought to be back out there on the streets by early 2016. Watch this space...

'Sword of Lochglen' Issue 4 - Still In Progress

A whole bunch of stuff (mostly uninteresting, non-arty and non-Scottish) happened since work on Issue 4 of our historical (and sometimes hysterical) Caledonian comic, The Sword of Lochglwn kicked off...but that doesn't mean that Lochglen issue 4 isn't progressing well. It's now come off the backburner again and Chaz is busily working on brand new pages right now (well, not right now, since he's writing this blog post...). And here's a few samples of recent finished pages and art just to prove it! Aiming for completion by the end of the year or early 2016, and then we'll be gearing up for the final, concluding issue - which may well prove to be a bumper-size edition. More news soon!

As ever, keep an eye on the Lochglen blog for more info and news.
