Hi there! It begins. Finally, it begins.
I finished writing the recipe about 2 weeks ago, and now have been in the process of proof reading and editing.
The recipe was so enormous that I thought the best way for anyone to digest it was...

So the two symbiotic recipes Epic Limbs and Epic Torso are coming to a conclusion.
It’s looking to around 400 pages, so you can understand why they’ve taken so long to write and illustrate!
I’ve been writing and testing and chan...

Just wanted to give you all a bit of an update of where I am with this recipe.
As I may have mentioned, I’ve split the recipe into 2 parts - the limbs and the torso.

So… I’ve just ordered a proof of the Core Chapter which is being printed as a Hardback square book for me right now. Fingers crossed that by some miracle everything is fine, and I can actually start selling the damn things!
I should know...

Ok, so this is a post which it infuriates me to have to make- and will clarify the reason why I’ve been so silent recently.
Several times recently I’ve almost been ready to get the Kaboom series off the ground and time and time again, th...

It feels with Chapter 2 that now we're REALLY getting int...

I’d meant to get him ready for Christmas, but there are just a couple more things I want to add to him before he’s ready.

Depending on where you are in the world right now, Halloween is rather less festive than it usually can be. Hope you’re all ok.

Thanks for the comments on and off Patreon. They’ve been reassuringly positive. This project was quite stressful for me for several unexpected reasons, but the feedback REALLY was a tonic.

Hi there, Everyone.
Still soldering on with it. Since I'm Mr Technical in my household- a major technical issue for my Art Director BF has interrupted my life again for a few days I'm afraid, but I'm back on it now.
It's been interesti...

Hey everyone.
Well, after a bit of a rough start, (All will be revealed at a later date) I can safely say that Terry & Sandy is shaping up to be quite a nice little exercise for me.

Hey Everyone.
Well the cat's out of the bag now. Harmony 20 is publicly available.

So as I mentioned before- the guide- in whatever form- will probably never really ever end, and I’ve got a few ideas for what could be in Chapter 4
The subjects include
Switches
Expressions
Easy Epic Arms
Hi Again. Advert Number 3 has finally been made- a bit self indulgent perhaps, but if it grabs people’s attention, then that’s all to the good.
