New Monkey Nuts Cover! Issue 22 of the DFC!
Posted by Lorenzo at 9:04 am

Hey folks! Well, we just got back form a great time doing a coiple of appearances and the wonderful Moon Lane bookshops in London, many thanks to everyone who came along and all the young DFC readers and Monkey Nutters we met!

Right, as mentioned last week, Monkey Nuts are on the cover of the DFC this week! I'll post up the original art in a bit, but for now, here's a shot of the issue (no 22)...

More coming before you know it!

Monkey Nuts! Exclusive preview page! The Monkey Nuts Crime Trike!
Posted by Lorenzo at 1:16 pm


Hey, hey, everybody!

Those of you who regularly check in here will remember me posting a stage by stage progress shot of the lineart for today's post a few months ago. Well, here's a shot of the final image, along with the full page the panel came from (being page 45 in the MN adventure). Enjoy!

Right, Bob and I are off to do a couple of workshops/signings in the Moon Lane bookshops in London tomorrow, as the final date on our mini Monkey Nuts tour (more dates to be announced in the new year)!

More Monkey nuts next week, including a shot of the latest DFC cover (issue 22) which came out today!

Cheers!

Lorenzo!

Monkey Nuts Flatting - Fink Monster!
Posted by Lorenzo at 3:12 pm

Hey folks! Here's a little snap-shot of what I'm working on today, flatting the colours in for the latest Monkey Nuts pages, which feature a very large sewer monster. This is actually a pretty small panel on the page, though this shot's on a 27" screen.

More in a bit!

Monkey Nuts Channel 5 Live page, and season 2 teaser!
Posted by Lorenzo at 9:21 am


Two little Monkey Nuts pics here, first up, those of you who are already DFC readers will know the first book-length Monkey Nuts adventure came to it's conclusion last Friday, meaning a NEW adventure starts in four days time! Yeah!

Secondly, a break-down of the Channel 5 special I drew on TV a few months ago. As this had to be prepped in about 3 hours, I had to draw like the wind, which meant it came out as quite a simple little page, but I thought I'd show you guys the stages I went through to draw it. As it was being filmed, I decided to fake-up a blueline rough (I usually work on a lightbox, but that doesn't show on camera very well). When the show was put together they actually super-imposed Isla (the news reporter)into the pages of the comic for part of the report, which was very cool.

More coming up in a bit!

Malcolm Magic the Big Kahuna Collection: Preview pages 1 to 4
Posted by Lorenzo at 10:46 am





Hey folks!! So, as promised, I can finally officially tell you that the complete book of Malcolm Magic is now available all over the world!! This book was drawn and written by Bob and I as our first forray into the world of comics, it was an on-going experiment, and needless to say we learnt a LOT during the process of the adventure. Despite this, however, it was one of the most enjoyable things I have ever worked on, and without it nothing that we have done since would exist.

Within the book there are two seperate worlds, one in black and white, and the other in Greyscale, this may seem a bit odd at first, but it really helps us to instantly establish which world we're in, and keeps the story flowing. Go with it!

Here's the official blurb from the site:

"Gathered together for the first time in one volume, The Big Kahuna features every last sumptuous page of the award-winning comic book series, Malcolm Magic. Featuring issues 1-12, the Tusk special, a complete cover gallery and a comprehensive collection of bonus material, this book is the last word in rabbit-related shenanigans! Follow the irrepressible Malcolm and friends, as they embark on an adventure like no other. In order to thwart the ridiculous schemes of the evil lunatic Bright Eyes, the boys must reluctantly journey to strange, wondrous new lands where they will have to divide their time equally between making new allies and surviving new enemies."

Over the next week I'll be posting up an entire chapter of the book in here (chapter 8), I hope you enjoy reading it, and getting into the madness of this tale.

You can buy the book, wherever you live, HERE.

More pages coming in a bit!

Monkey Nuts! Exclusive preview page! The Monkey Nuts HQ!
Posted by Lorenzo at 12:55 am

So, now that we're a little way into the monkey Nuts adventures (I'm approaching my 80th page of completed full colour artwork) I think it's about time I showed you how the final pages look. Every now and then I'm going to post up a full page for your eyeballs to enjoy, and today we have page 39, being the first page of part 1 of the chapter entitled Breakout Bonanza. Regular readers will remember me posting an in progress shot of the lineart for this a while back. Stay tuned for another full page in the future! Monkey Nuts appears every week only in The DFC!

Oh, and I'll be sticking with the theme of full page previews next week, as we're finally going to be announcing the international release of the 320 page Malcolm Magic one volume edition, and to celebrate this I'm going to post up an entire chapter from the book in here over the course of the next 7 days. That's right, 16 pages of old-school Blink Twice comic silliness, all for free! Hope you can drop by to read some pages from the book that started it all!

Wheee!

Lorenzo!
