I’m in Ballycastle today: Everyone says hello to you here. No-one returned my calls, but they’re brilliantly helpful. Not much of a writer’s holiday though. Jobseeker’s sneakers, there’s an outdoor gym, an adult’s play park. A cake coastline and this evening the sun set and transformed the rock (an inverted titanic) into a salmon colour.
Booking for Rathlin Island was hard, and I’m down for Monday. The Backpacker’s hostel on the sea-front is ace but I want to keep moving. So, Ballintoy tommorrow and back this way on Monday.

The first time I tried drawing someone else’s characters, for the underground comic Mondo on Issue 50, back in about 1998-99. Some people liked my drawing then, so knock yourselves out!

Mondo (Britain’s Best Comic) was published and edited by Lee Davis, with work by Tim James, Tim Rees and a bunch of others. There’s talk of it’s return, and an active Facebook stripbloggy page.
