Update on Everything Elblondino

10/9/2013

0 Comments

 
Hi everyone. Hope you are all keeping well and the dice gods are shining upon you. These last few weeks or should i say months have been totally hectic and I have neglected you all. So here is an update on all things Elblondino. 
Firstly last weekend was Nerdfest in Nottingham which for those who don't know is the first Nottingham comic con run by illustrator Kev Brett. As with any first time event you never know quite what to expect, but by god did he do a good job. It was a well organised affair with some fantastic exhibitors there. I myself was between Mike Jackson and Reckless Hero who are both awesome artists and I highly recommend you check out there work. Here are a few of the bits i managed to pick up from the day. Just need some frames for the prints to go up in the office now. :-)

Off the back of Nerdfest I had some fantastic feedback about 'Rise of the Zombots' which has made me realise i really need to ramp up Project Cornelius. Which is now exactly what is happening, with new people coming on board and research underway to setup a kicksatarter hopefully within the next year. 
Finally there are to be some changes with the Clumsy Pickle side of things. I am in the process of building a new website which will be blog based and therefore much more dynamic. In conjunction with this I will be incorporating Elblondino  into Clumsy Pickle. This website will still exist but a lot of the game and comic stuff will move over to www.clumsypickle.co.uk 
who knows there may end up being clumsy pickle games. ;-)

Speak to you soon guys

Cornelius update

6/19/2013

The last few months have been very hectic times. After making the massive leap to set up as a freelance Illustrator / Graphic designer I have been dedicating nearly all my time to Clumsy Pickle. This is fantastic as it means I'm getting paid (albeit slowly) to do what I love, however it has meant that various projects have had to take a sideline. 
As the year has rumbled on I have become acutely aware  of two big events I'm attending at the latter end of the year, 'Nerd Fest' and 'Thought Bubble' both of which I am immensely excited about and can't wait for. This does however mean I need to get some of the aforementioned projects done. 
Fear not dear readers as good news is here. The new Cornelius comic has been started  and here is a little sneaky peek of one of the pages to prove it.

On top of this I have been making head way with the Cornelius game too. With the possibility of some very cool miniature related news!! But I'll save that for another post. ;-)

Anyway I'd best get off and make some stuff.

Evening folks. Apologies for my absence of late. Things have been really busy over on the other side at www.clumsypickle.co.uk which is my new illustration and design business. I haven't totally forgotten about you guys though as have started with some new cool stuff.
Firstly I have booked up for a new comic con in Nottingham called Nerd Fest which looks like its going to be really cool.

For anyone who came to Thought Bubble last year there are some familiar faces like Jennie Gyllblad and Corey Brotherson attending. Plus if you live anywhere even vaguely 'up north' you'll save yourself hours in travel, so hopefully see you there.

Secondly I have started work on the post apocalyptic models with lots of scratchbuilding and some new painting techniques thrown in too. (more updates to come) 

Anyway, that's enough from me for now. I'll bother you all with more posts soon.

TTFN

Me and the Pickle

Evening all. Remember me? Its been a while since I last blogged or for that matter even got into a conversation on Twitter. Well that's because I've been busy trying my hand at the world of freelancing. After loosing my job just before Christmas, it was sink or swim time. I needed to earn money and the only job available at the time crippled my hands, back and general well-being. Or so I thought!! Since the new year I have officially become a freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer and I have to say so far it's one of the best ideas I've ever had. 
You may have seen it on facebook or twitter where I've been sharing etc, but the name is 'Clumsy Pickle' and business is slowly and steadily building up. If you want to take a peek yourself then its www.clumsypickle.co.uk or you can find me on twitter @clumsy_pickle 
Don't worry this doesn't mean I've turned my back on comics or miniatures, far from it. In fact I should hopefully have some cool stuff being updated onto the site very soon. 
Anyway ciao for now from me and the pickle.
