The Kinks - Tumblr Posts
Two of my favorite franchises—one being Ted Lasso, the other being The Raven Cycle—both using The Kinks to tell us something about the sharp, observant newcomer to the inner circle? (Trent Crimm and The Gray Man, respectively.) It’s good. It’s very good. Despite being very different characters (in VERY different mediums) they are both definitely The Well Respected Man.

Song #134
You Really Got Me By The Kinks
It was released in 1964 as a single
Fun fact: Although it was long rumoured that the Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page had performed the song's guitar solo, instead of Dave Davies Page himself has debunked this.

Happy New Year, peeps! I thought I'd make a post with what I think is my best work of this last year. In chronological order, these are:
The Mysterious Land of Under-Noodle, from the Inspired Eat Me! anthology
The Mystery of the Night Boy, a Patience mini-comic
The Hyaku Monogatari feature from the Hallowe'en issue of What's the Time, Mrs Woolf?
This Is Not A Serious Music Publication, a collaborative music zine I made with Sammy, which is probably my absolute favourite thing I did this year.
Two postcards from my Autumn 2012 set.
I think what I learned this year is a) I do some of my best work under extreme time pressure, and b) I also do my best work when I'm really excited about it. (Both apply to the music zine.) Possibly also c) due to being willfully contrary, bad reviews only make me draw MORE COMICS.
Unfortunately I also learned that it's very easy for me to get caught up working on small press comics and zines because they're a lot of fun to make, neglecting the work which would get me closer to illustrating actual books. Hence my plan for next year is to manage my time better and prioritise book-related work, even if it means making fewer comics. This was a really difficult conclusion to accept because I really love making comics with my friends, but I only have so much time in the week after going to my day job, and I just can't do comics (in the quantities I've been doing this year) AND do the work I need to break into book illustration. Not until someone starts paying me to draw things anyway.
So... I hope 2013 brings me people who pay me to draw things?
AW YEAH NEW YEAR!
