Ooo... That's tempting, assuming the tour doesn't evaporate like last time around!

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal

Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

Pose was lifted from the photo ref, so I can't take any credit with that! But thanks, I'm still trying to work out how to apply those implied shapes/elements to anything I'm drawing from the ground up where I generally tend to over render any masses.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Thanks! Really had to fight an urge to drop more black fills into it, haha.

Finally got around to watching, "The Devil's Backbone" the other night after having it sit in the to-watch pile for far too long. And that visual of Santi as a ghost was still hanging in my mind. #thedevilsbackbone #horrormovies #art #illustration #ghosts #inkandwash #quicksketch

Had some loose thoughts to possibly try song writing and I've slapped a handful of rough ideas together after diving into a DAW earlier in the year. But outside of the fact I'm not really a muso, it still hit the same wall with the realisation I don't have anything to say with them either.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

It's the middle of the year. Been over a year now since I last created a sequential page and over 2 years since I last actually broke a complete story... I'm kinda itching to create *something* but have nothing to actually really to say or draw.

My favourite game at the moment is to see how wildly priced my books are from different retail/online vendors. In unrelated news, "Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror" (ISBN: 9781925956917) is now available to pre-order through your local bookstore (or online!): newsouthbooks.com.au/books/bristl...

Bristlemouth: A Cove Horror

Tense. Unsettling. A haunting, yet ferocious body horror story in a rural setting, with a cast like no other. Amelia is a young woman haunted by deep trauma, but what hides in The Cove will dwarf thos...

My PHP skills are rusty & I spent an hour fixing a caching issue, but now the site works. So if you want to read the first book I published &/or you're interested in #comics about #depression & #mentalhealth, check out "Kinds of Blue", my anthology of short comics: kindsofblue.hivemindedness.com

Cover for "Kinds of Blue: An anthology of short comics about depression", featuring a woman standing under a raining umbrella against a dark cloudy background.

Moral to the story, keep export notes.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Finalised the second Volume last night, remembered I needed to make minor edits on the first one and made the revisions. Woke up to the transparencies in the proof giving me grief on that one now, so apparently I've changed something in my export settings/process between the volumes. UGH. UGH.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

It is! Usually I catch stuff in the printed version, so this was a change of pace... But still frustrating that I can't revise it now until the print proof is processed.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Spent all day (and last night) trying to clean up the pre-press file on the next Art Book (transparencies and greyscale conversions were giving me grief). Finally get it sorted, start uploading it to the Portal and while I was waiting, did another pass and found some text completely covered. UGH.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I'd say I was tempted to just write, "I'm so good, everybody loves me" just over and over in this one. But anyone buying the Art Book off the cuff just wouldn't get it!

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

That's obviously not assuming they're not all bad from the get go! Given how often I find issues after they're in print, I do wonder how many people actually bother to read them.

Hayden Fryer @coffeeicus.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Once again I am procrastinating over an Afterword, why do I keep adding these to books?!

Free Comic Book Day is on Saturday 3rd of May 2025... That means it clashes with the Australian federal election. So, in the spirit of the day, we have created a ballot paper to plan your attack... Day runs 9am-5pm. Some titles will run out! More info: impactcomics.com.au/event/free-c...

Suppose it makes practical sense device wise; over brightness for visibility, focus on vocals, etc. And I remember having to explain demo setting differences when selling Hi-Fi equipment, etc. Have you had any visible differences from the platform compressions on the image uploads as well?

I've been noticing/getting frustrated at how much of a variation and difference there is as well with audio too, had a fairly even mix on a track and when I played it back on the phone all the guitar lines were ear-piercingly shrill with any bass lines completely gone.

Spent the whole weekend pretty much just messing around with the DAW (Neighbours probably got sick of hearing the same few tracks on repeat as I was working through them) and I really don't call myself a muso, at all. But, it's kinda fun to just build up tracks from scratch and see how they evolve.
