And so, now that Alan has made sure his ribs aren’t broken, they conclude hiring negotiations and get down to business. If only all hiring was this awesome.
This concludes side story one. Now what seems to be on people’s minds recently is whats happened to German?! Well I can answer that question!
He’s been hard at work on issue 3 and on Friday and next Monday I’ll have some stuff to show you from what he’s done so far which has been absolutely superb. On top of this he’s been doodling the covers for the Hard Graft limited edition minibook and he also worked overtime to deliver the Kathy needed for the Comic Creators Alliance wallpaper.
Obviously though we all need our Hard Graft fix and at the same time we can work on explaining parts of the story which would otherwise be left to the sidelines. This is where Jules comes in.
In the end its a win win situation. We all get more Hard Graft from two top quality artists. Whats not to love about that?
Also got a few nice things to point out to readers!
We’ve got a Hard Graft Fan Map! If you like Hard Graft and want to tell the world where you are in the world follow the easy instructions to put your mark on the map! Its good fun but I can’t do much about the tiny map size :/
Next we have the formspring.me Hard Graft question widget! Got a question to ask either Prestwick, German or the cast? Then dump it here and we’ll do our best to get back to you. Also listed are previous questions and answers.

…thought I’d post the original sketch for page 33 while we all wait for page 34 which comes on Monday!
Currently I’m awaiting three frames for some photos which I had blown up. One 12 x 12 inch and two 12 by 18 inch frames. All very good but I’ve been waiting all day for them to be delivered. I thought UPS were meant to be incredibly fast delivery?
On a high note, at the pub quiz we won the “play your cards right” mini game. First time I might add! £29 in the pocket went on a round of pints and some bottles of beer for Dad when I visit tomorrow.
EDIT: Okay more news.
I got a favourable mention from a review site, The Floating Lightbulb which was ace and I like the note about B&W. I honestly think colour (or lack of) shouldn’t be a barrier for readers but I do recognise that people do feel that colour brings out the detail in the scenes. A short and sweet cover which was very interesting to read.
I have been privately getting some good feedback from other, more entrenched and experienced hands in the industry and all of it has been really encouraging. I can’t really thank you all enough for all the feedback and enthusiasm which you’ve all approached me and German. Even when people are critical it is always constructive and from the point of view that they’re passionate about the comic which is very humbling. Cheers!
Oh, and here is a picture of the two beers I bought last night:
