&lt;p&gt;I’ve updated the Comics section (see right of page) with .CBZ files of each comic so they can be read at higher resolution in a posh comic book reader. (&lt;a href="http://comical.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank"&gt;Comical&lt;/a&gt;’s a good free one, if you’re without.) I also took this opportunity to make a picture! At least it was more fun than sitting around making puppy-dog eyes at comics on Amazon all night again .&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/24029281029</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/24029281029</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2012 20:12:00 -0400</pubDate><category>comics</category><category>independent</category><category>british</category><category>horror</category><category>sci-fi</category><category>dinosaurs</category><category>plague</category><category>london</category><category>ww2</category><category>free</category><category>downloads</category></item><item><title>New Comic Preview!

&lt;p&gt;I’m working with a super-awesome artist named &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://aerion-the-faithful.deviantart.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Nicolás R. Giacondino&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on a brand new horror comic. This idea’s been rumbling around in my head for a while - since January of 2010 says the battered notebook - so I’m buzzing that it’s finally seeing the light of day. The story’s inspired by the accounts of Father Gabriele Amorth, the Chief Exorcist to the Vatican. Hopefully, it’ll be set to print well before the end of the year. I look forward to spamming you then!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/20039680109</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/20039680109</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Mar 2012 21:25:19 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>New Film!

&lt;p&gt;This was my second comic. My first, &lt;em&gt;Paralysis&lt;/em&gt;, was all about the atmosphere and the plot, so there was a lot of talking and grim faces. For this, I wanted all-out violence and a completely different setting. So, Indians attacking a train! The artwork is by Roy Huteson Stewart, an insanely ace British artist. I wanted the comic to be black and white initially - that and its short length were a money-saving measure and to just get something done super-fast - but Roy’s colour work was so amazing I thought, “Fuck it.” I also tried my hand at lettering for the first time on this (not as easy as it sounds!). I love how the comic looks, though I think my script is a bit wonky. Tried to cram too much into too few pages, definitely. Great experience though, and the art is ridiculously cool. Love how he nailed the texture of Old West photos. I have a big poster of page 11 on my wall at home!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/18727756786</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/18727756786</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Mar 2012 10:23:00 -0500</pubDate><category>comics</category><category>art</category><category>independent</category><category>zombies</category><category>indians</category><category>america</category><category>western</category></item><item><title>A DOCUMENTARY I MADE!

&lt;p&gt;Still plugging away at making a film a week with my group in the media production module at Aber Uni. This week I made myself the behind-the-scenes film guy. I got to run around pretending to be a ghost or stand around holding a tripod over my head to get an invisible giant’s POV. Some liberties have been taken with the truth. Some sounds have been stolen from &lt;em&gt;The Evil Dead.&lt;/em&gt; It’s about 11 minutes long and features one squirrel, two swans, and a dog. That’s quality you can’t beat!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/18493045119</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/18493045119</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:36:27 -0500</pubDate><category>video</category><category>documentary</category><category>aberystwyth</category><category>university</category><category>filmmaking</category><category>short film</category><category>student</category></item><item><title>A ROPE AROUND YOUR BROKEN NECK: PAGE DEVELOPMENT

&lt;p&gt;My third comic, after &lt;em&gt;The Mutilated Dead &lt;/em&gt;(which I’ll post bits for soon), &lt;em&gt;A Rope Around Your Broken Neck&lt;/em&gt; was another crack at Gothic stuff. The comic had two artists: R. Ricardo and Nicolas Brondo. Ricardo was an awesome Brazilian dude who had done a lot of adult comics. He had to drop out after doing all the pencils and half of the inks, so I asked Nicolas, an ace Argentinian artist, to jump in and complete the comic. I did the lettering myself in Photoshop. It took about a year all told from the beginning of the artwork phase to being print-ready. Receiving awesome artwork of shit that absolutely dominated my brain for up to a year at a time was seriously badass. I miss that little paperclip next to my emails! Anyway, hope you dig the artwork! You can read &lt;em&gt;A Rope Around Your Broken Neck&lt;/em&gt; for free as a .pdf file if you click on the comics section.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/17735938266</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/17735938266</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:02:00 -0500</pubDate><category>comics</category><category>art</category><category>independent</category><category>horror</category><category>london</category><category>plague</category><category>free</category></item><item><title>PARALYSIS: PAGE DEVELOPMENT

&lt;p&gt;Thought it would be fun to post a step-by-step account of the art process on some of my comics. &lt;em&gt;Paralysis &lt;/em&gt;was my first comic, so it was especially exciting when I saw that little paperclip next to an email from the artist, J.C. Grande. Above is the progression from character concept art to a thumbnail sketch and then right through pencils to the final inked, greyed, and lettered page. He did an awesome job. I find the script a bit clumsy now, but just getting something down and printed was brilliant fun.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/17486034705</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/17486034705</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:00:30 -0500</pubDate><category>comics</category><category>art</category><category>independent</category></item><item><title>NEW SHORT FILM!

&lt;p&gt;The second video from my group, &lt;a href="http://themagikarpexperience.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Magikarp Experience&lt;/a&gt;, in Aber’s media production module.

&lt;p&gt;I’ve not worked on Attackosaur #2 in a long, long time and since issue 1 didn’t exactly set the world on fire I figure it’s not worth the 2/3 months per issue it was taking to finish the mini series. I’ve already put a lot of hours into bits of issue 2 though, so I figured I’d snip them out and put them online in case the three people who bought issue 1 are bored and check out the website. If that’s you, high-five! *kaputch!*&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://attackosaur.com/post/16147911876</link><guid>http://attackosaur.com/post/16147911876</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:57:00 -0500</pubDate><category>comics</category><category>indie</category><category>dinosaurs</category><category>art</category></item><item><title>Saw this online when I had Minor Threat on in the background....</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwnv1cAIUC1r17hiwo1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Saw this online when I had Minor Threat on in the background.
