CLOUDMAN in color/colour!!

Dear Folks,

Here's a very quickly colored/coloured Cloudman illustration, as previously shared on this very same page! Basic coloration like this is really not too hard, but making it look better would be much more difficult. Any advice? Compared, say, to the Hero BLOB Christmas illustration below, would you prefer this style or the other? I'm still experimenting here.

Anyway, I did some very fun new drawings in the last couple of days, which I may share soon. Some of them are currently top-secret, though, as they concern upcoming radio play projects!!

Also, the word of the month is:

GBLEAHBLEAHBLEAH

Thanks for keeping an eye on this space!

Hero BLOB XI: BLOB Family Reunion RADIO VERSION

Dear Friends,

I today completed editing BLOB 11 for performance as an internet radio show! I really do like this one, as, like most of the BLOB adventures, it's a real departure from run-of-the-mill BLOB adventures! BLOB sort of seeks to sort of rejoin his sort of family and sort of gets a new girlfriend (BLOBETTE), with some sort of help from CHILIPEPPERMAN!!! This is the first official completed work of BLOBness to feature CHILIPEPPERMAN, an old villain-turned-hero from CLOUDMAN comics, although he will appear in continuity before this, in BLOB 7D: Rise of the Jive Turkeys!

This is all part of my ongoing new evil plot for the BLOB universe, driven by the new secret project that I am not going to tell you about yet!!

Meanwhile, I take the notebook for 'The Innocence' around with me everywhere, though I haven't written anything new in it for days (except the chapter plan for my dissertation about Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola's STRIX). OH WELL. WILL DO SOON.

So hopefully, you'll get to hear the radio version of HBXI:BFR pretty soon, and it will hopefully feature my usual fantastic array of voice talents, if they haven't all decided to abandon me since it's been months since a new radio play has been performed!

CIAO,

Schedel

The Innocence

Dear Viewers, Readers, and Listeners:

Updates galore! I'm working on the second Cloudman novel in the current series, entitled (for now) 'Cloudman's Secret Identity'. It's a chronicle of the somewhat brief romance between Cloudman and Cloudwoman, and will likely come to include also the first Goodiness League adventure (don't know what the Goodiness League is? SHAME ON YOU, YOU'LL HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT).

I've also begun another little story, this time a murder mystery which takes place during the brief limbo period after BLOB 12, during the time that BLOB is absent from Innocentville. It's called 'The Innocence' for now, though I may re-title it 'The Innocence Killer'. It follows Innocentville PD's Officer Jackson on his hunt for a brutal murderer who is targeting seemingly random citizens of Innocentville. But can he find the link between the victims and stop the vicious murderer before it's too late? Or will he himself fall victim to the madman's killer will?

Yeah, clearly I've been reading too much Thomas Harris.

Meanwhile, my friend Quincy is coming into town tomorrow, which makes me 'super duper excited' as Amanda Bynes would say. For the occasion, I'm thinking of trying to get together my ragtag but wonderful voice team to record a little some-some before he leaves the country again. You may remember Quincy as the voice of Mayor Kettle and Santa Claus (and Paco) from the Hero BLOB Christmas Special last year. Don't remember? THEN CHECK IT OUT RIGHT FREAKING NOW on www.blastocyst.org.uk !!!!

I'm also working on what I hope to be a very short piece featuring Jack In the Box Man, which will then hopefully be showcased on Blastocyst, as well.

And I have secret plans brewing, as always. But now they're brewing very near the surface. Let's just say they involve Lord Byron and an excessive amount of satin, and leave it at that.

Ciao for now, BLOBpals!!
