A few more doodles I did for peeps at the show...

Okay, so those of you who read this thread regularly will already know that despite my endless rambling in here, I don't actually write any of our comics. No, the fountain pen to my crayons is my ole' brother Robin, who creates and pens all our adventures. Up until now he's been fairly quiet on the web, but all that's about to change! A little while ago we were approached by top man Michael May from Comic World News, asking if we'd be interested in running a Blink column on their mighty site. The answer? Sweet baby cheeses!! Damn right! So, you can now catch my bro's thoughts on all the things that make us love comics each and every month in his "Comics Have Never Been so Much Fun" column. Go there, peeps!

Secondly, another sketch from the Bristol show here, produced for good buddy Super Monkey Boy over on DA...

Hey forum folks! Two more new-uns today!

First up, ahead of the huge LONDON MCM EXPO this weekend (26th-27th) I'm excited to announce that we're gonna have a load of copies of the fresh-out Sasquatch anthology, featuring an exclusive 15-page MOON! Adventure! Below is a little piccie of Ratt introducing an unknown "friend" to this awesome anthology, along with some snaps I took of the book and some of our story pages...

I've also posted a map on The Blink Blog along with a stock list for those of you coming to the show who want to know where we'll be/what we're bringing.

Secondly, the last of the Bristol Expo sketches for now, and it's girl for once! Yey!

Cheers, folks, see you at the show!

Lorenzo!

Whoooooo-eee! What a show THAT was!!! So, I'm back in Bristol after spending the bank holiday weekend tooling across London with Bo-bo in the ole' Amazon to and from the MCM Expo at the Excel centre. As usual, we had an awesome time, met a lot of new Malcolm and MOON! fans, saw a ton of regular Blink buddies and generally larked about in the name of selling comics.

Thanks to all who came and chatted to us, you guys make the shows for us so cheers, and we'll see you in October at the next one, but right now, bring on the summer!

Whoooop!

Oh, and I did a bit of sketching too, here's the first of 'em...

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, time for a little more Sasquatch, methinks! Here's a page of pencils...

More like this in but a moment, folks!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Hey folks, some random ones today! First up, the Blink were recently featured in uber-coolio Brit listings mag Venue, here's some shots...

I also just wanted to nip in and say that Fat Chunk, the awesome 60-page b&W monster underground cult indie SMASH, is now on sale allll over the world! Just GO HERE (and click the "COMICS" tab on the left of the page) and grab a copy! It's dead cheap (ONE DOLLAR!), as I'm sure you'll see, though postage costs a little due to current exchange rates and the fact that it's so darned PHAT! Here's some snaps of the book and our three-page exclusive MOON! tale...get some, kids!

Finally, another sketch from the recent London show...

More soon, peoples!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Hey-hey, folkses!!!

Well, Bo-bo's second column over at the awesome Comic World News is now up! This month he talks about French comics writer Jean-David Morvan and in particular his series "HK". GO HERE to enjoy the images, soak up my bro's genuine love for great comic books, and learn a little about a title you may not have come across before...!

Next up, another London con sketch. This one was for a long-time Blink reader who's had a few sketches from me before. He asked for something a little different this time in the form of a Lorenzo-take on a Transformer, and, well, here's the result! Note in particular how I was doing quite well until the final stage, where for some reason the front fenders disappear altogether! Still, real rods should always fun fenderless anyway, right? Haha!

More faster than you can say: "Damn it Lorenzo, quit slacking and update, you Chump!"

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, today is an exciting day in the world of the Blink, as for the first time in the three or four years we've been making comics together, my bro Robin and I are actually gonna live in the same city! Yes, today Bo-bo officially moves to town! Alllllright! Good to have you here, brother!

Next up, here's a little piccie I did for my wonderful girl for our 6 1/2 year anniversary, which we celebrated this weekend. As ever, Esty is the greatest thing in my life; she continually fills my days with colour, laughter and smooches! Thank you baby, you're purrrrfect!!

More new piccies just around the corner, peeps!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, I was rooting through the Blink Library the other day and it struck me that I'd never taken a pic of all the Blink Products together, so...here they are! Lots more on the way too! Ha-zaa!

Next up, to see you into the weekend with a smile, two more sketches from the London MCM expo we attended in May. These both feature dear ole' Ratt messing around in veeee-hicles! Both are drawn in humble ole' blue Biro, (or ballpoint pen). Enjoy!

Lorenzo!

So, those of you who are web-savvy will of course come across the awesome Deviant Art, one of the internet's biggest and best free on-line gallery sites. Never one to shy away from a great creative community, I've been posting new work up there for a little while now, and today I posted our 400th seperate image!!! Lordy! Anyways, I'm always up for chatting to folk in there, so why not drop by and say hi? Alternatively, just have a root through the gallery, which you'll probably find a little easier to navigete than this thread. The Studioblinktwice Deviant at page is RIGHT HERE.

Secondly, another look at art from our Sasquatch story for Viper comics. Regular readers of this thread will remember I posted the sketch design of this robot a while ago, and here it is in the final mix!

More soon!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Okay, so unusually I can't show you anything new this week, since I've been hard at work on various projects I can't post just at the moment. Obviously posting NOTHING would simply not do, so I wandered down into the vaults here at Blink Towers and found some stuff which for one reason or another is unlikely to see the light of day in any kind of finished format. Hope you enjoy,

What a load of old Tosh indeed!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, to start with, just a lil' ooooooold one here, a web flyer for the original Space Log, the first in our series of MOON! companions. If you live in the UK, you can pick it up in the store HERE at SBT!

Next, another sketch from the Bristol con here, this one for Uber-super-fan #1, Mikey! The image depicts the little penguin with the lollipop and the toy duck that I hide somewhere in every comic we produce; that's right, he's tucked away in every copy of Malcolm, Tusk, and MOON! Get searching, folks!

And finally, more pages from our MOON! story in Viper's Sasquatch Anthology, here Bigfoot prepares for his opening scene in "It Came From Over There!"...

...he's like, SO method!

More soon, cup-cakes!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

A few more concepts from the first season of MOON! here, featuring a re-design of Rector's hover chair, an idea for the look of an audition booth from the opening scene of issue 1, and a Tug Truck from issue 2. More in a bit, folkses!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

Three from totally different schools of thought today! First up, another Sasquatch page, part of which was you may have seen in full colour around these parts before, but here’s the full page in pencils, dig those villains!

Next up, some would-be actors from the world of MOON!

And finally, just a little doodle of a slightly cross-eyed girlie with something funny in her ear!

Ah, and today is moving day, so we shall say goodbye to dear ole' Blink Towers, the place where Malcolm Magic and MOON! and ONITC were born and raised! But fear not, for we're heading to Castle Blink, and I’m about to get Medieval on yo’ a$$, Holmes…!

Ooh!

Lorenzo!

[Lorenzo]

So, my ole' bro's gone and written another Doozey over in his "Comics have never been so much fun" column at the mighty Comic World News. The theme this month focuses on great children's comic writing, and as he mentions the genius that is Watterson, I thought it was a good enough excuse to rustle up a little Calvin and Hobbes biro sketch. Don't waste time looking at my pic though, GO HERE to read his great column, and hey, don't just take my word for it, GO HERE to see that those kool kats over at TOP SHELF dig it too! Great work, broski!

Following that, two more concepts from MOON! today, the first of Ratt's rocket pack, as used in Issue 1, and the second of Serenity in one of the many costumes she'll be wearing for her roles as Lead Starlet for MOON! movie studio's various properties.

Enjoy!

Lorenzo!
