Happy New Year to one and all. I recently received my 3rd rejection from 2000ad.  As soon as the self adressed envelope pops through the mail box you know that you've been rejected. I feel as though I'm becoming an old hand on the rejection front but at least they reply. The reply letters are getting shorter. This time focused on my overloading of the panels with too much detail (fair comment) and lack of attention to anatomy (almost everyone can stand to improve on this, so again fair comment). They were kind enough to suggest I showed promise but this looks a bit like a cut and paste part of all the letters. On the upside I got the Wacom

Broke 1000 hits finally. Not an art celeb yet but a big thanks to the many who are kind enough to comment, virtually all of which is encouraging and helpful. I got some good feedback from a recent submission to a great writer. The comments were generally positive though just getting a response was thrill enough. Anyway, more posts soon. Hopefully some in colour and ink this time. Cheers Tom

Still awaiting that big break and working on amateur projects. I went to visit Hope Street Studios in Glasgow last week   http://www.hopestreetstudios.com and still shaking from the experience. Great to meet professionals working in the field. Inspired and intimidated in equal measure. Anyway onwards and upwards more posts soon. Tom
