Doing It For the Kids (part 2)

Here's some more pages of my traffic safety comic for Sandwell District Council. Enjoy!









See that? That's some unsafe traffic behaviour, right there.

This job was sooo much more fun than perhaps it sounds on paper - it was a great chance to loosen up and have fun and try a few new tricks, process-wise. And they were only mildly annoyed at me for filling it with subliminal product placement ads for Thumpculture...

...ayway, that's probably about enough of that. REMEMBER: look both ways when crossing the street.

My work here is done.

Top 5: Things I Miss About Having a Proper Job

5) Actually getting weekends and bank holidays off.
4) Having quiche, chips and beans for lunch at the Oxford Science Park 'bistro' when I couldn't be arsed to go to the gym.
3) Getting a couple of hours a day - lunch and the bus ride - to just read books.
2) Um...
1) ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE.

Collect the set!

I'm just gonna cross-post these here from my DFC blog:

Mo-bot High Trading Cards!









...it's just for my own amusement, really.

What does this say about me?

I just realised I've been diligently building a 3D recreation of my old school...



...just so I can then have giant robots smash it up.

Apparently I may have some unresolved issues with that place.

Top 5: Albums (July-Aug 2008)

In order of how heavy their rotation has been on Neill's-drawing-board FM! (note: this is albums I have bought / been listening to a lot this month, not necessarily ones that came *out* this month...)

5) Portishead - Third
4) Gnarls Barkley - The Odd Couple
3) Beck - Modern Guilt
2) The Roots - Rising Down
1) RZA as Bobby Digital - Digi Snacks.

Seriously, can't stop listening to that Bobby Digital album. The track 'Don't Be Afraid' may be the single catchiest piece of music ever created by mortal man. I've had it stuck in my head non-stop for, oooh, about three weeks now, and - weirdly - don't seem to be sick of it yet.

Doing It For The Kids

Here is a look at the first 3 pages of my recently-completed comic strip about road safety!



What's that I hear you ask? What on earth does any of that have to do with road safety?

Hush, you!

You wait ages for a blog where Neill Cameron rants on about mo-bots...

...and then two come along at once.



I've just posted my first entry on my official blog on the DFC website. I'll be posting all sorts of funky bits n' bobs there while Mo-Bot High is on its break, so be sure to check it out. RSS feed handily included over on the right of this very page!
