Hello watchers! Hope you're all doing well.
Gosh, don't remember when my last journal was but I know it's been ages! My apologies for that.
The last few months have been busy, stressful and enjoyable too.
In May I left my job as editor, not by choice, as did the majority of my colleagues. I've missed working with them, they were great people to work with and it's rare to click so well with everyone in the company.
The upside was I got to spend the whole month with my Mum who I hadn't seen in 8 years! I did some freelance work which was just enough to fund her trip. Miss her already.
What's nice this year is that I've been getting more commission. I'm also now inking with MonsterBox Studios. I've also agreed to ink a comic for Zindan (www.thelastansaars.com/) and I need to follow up on that to see if it's still going ahead.
For those who follow me on Facebook you already know and pardon my repetition; next weekend there's a comic conference and I have a portfolio review with DC and Dark Horse. For the past month I've been working hard on getting my portfolio ready. Been waiting for this kind of opportunity since 2012! I'm super excited but a little nervous too, it's a good kind of nervous though. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well and hopefully better than expected.
SH is coming along. It's slow and there's still so much to work out in terms of pitching to publishers and also format (graphic novel or floppy) and how that will affect production. That aside, the plot for SH: Genesis is nearly there and I think it's pretty solid and exciting; it's got the tone I want. Just waiting for the writers feedback on my revisions before I can with 100% confidence say we've nailed it.
So that's everything new with me. Can't believe we're already at the tail end of 2015! Where did the year go?
As always, a big welcome to all my new watchers! Hope you've been enjoying your time here.
Till next time stay blessed.

HAPPY 2019!!!
Hello Watchers!
I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to 2019!
2018 has been the toughest year of my life since coming back to the UK in 2006. Going into 2018 I knew that was on the cards and was bracing for a difficult year. And difficult it was! But I knew it was a necessary journey through the dark tunnel to reach the light at the other end.
The worst of 2018 was losing my beloved Baba, our family African Grey who had been with the family since around 1992/3. We had many parrots in Nigeria and he was the one who survived with us through very dark times. Losing him was heartbreaking and I miss him dearly. He was al
Hello... :D
Hello Watchers!
My goodness, it’s been a long time! One would think I dropped off the face of the earth. I just wanted to let you know I am still here. I’ve not been as prolific an inker as I used to but for good reasons. Although personal issues have been among them the bigger reason has been SH.
What’s SH? I hear you say. It’s my comic series. I’ve been making a lot of progress with the writing and this year I’m tackling it if full force but it’s a mammoth task and writing takes time and this isn’t a short story I’m working on. There’s not much art to share yet, but I do post the
