Journal Entry: Thu Jan 10, 2008, 10:10 AM
All right then!

Those who know me are probably aware I've just spent December drawing a silly advent calendar (you can see at least one picture from it in my recent deviations) and January trying to put together a song to go with it.

That's all finished now, so I can go back to working on my comic, to try and make it so people can read it. I don't mean in terms of the actual drawings, they're all done, edited, re-edited, and definitely the way I like them now. No, now it's all about getting them printed and working out how to sell them. I did already print a very small number of copies myself, and the whole thing cost something like £100 in ink cartridges, which definitely doesn't add up since I made less than a tenner back. You can't have those though because I gave most of them away, to comics people like the old STC gang (Richard Elson, Nigels Kitching and Dobbyn, Lew Stringer), Blink Twice, and oddly Paul Cornell who wrote all my favourite episodes of New Who, just because I happened to bump into him when I had them with me. Four have been sold since then, and I don't know who to.

And that's the lot. There aren't any left! Which means I need to print some, which means I need to get talking to printers. Shouldn't take long unless it turns out to be complicated.

Here's the song, by the way. [link]

Thanks for the add!

Yep, that was me. It was my first attempt at drawing a comic after a few years labouring under the assumption that drawing should be left to those who can draw. I wanted to draw, but I thought that because others my age could do it better, I was better off not bothering.

The Dizzy thing was amateurish and made almost no sense, but it had just enough good in it that I decided to go ahead with my idea for an original comic, amateurishly or not.

Issue one is currently being processed at the printers' and should be available to read within a month, so stay tuned!

Are the same Dave Bulmer that drew "Dizzy and the Skull Staff" many years ago? I loved that comic! I used to be called AS3K many years ago and I'm sure we've spoken before. Love your galley! :)

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing

I'll meet you there.

the world is too full to talk about.

I wish I was as neat at drawing as you.
I'm REALLY scribbly and stuff.

No not at all! The deadline isn't until late August/early september. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
*Buml0r:iconBuml0r: Jun 13, 2007, 5:48:01 PM
Oh hello Jen! Abby did mention it, but I didn't realise you were interested in my contributing - I just assumed the e-mail was meant for Abby! I'll have a proper read of it and see if I can think of anything to contribute. It's not too late is it?
~venkman-project:iconvenkman-project: May 28, 2007, 7:43:01 AM
Hi Dave, I'm Jess who works in Travelling Man Bristol! Your gallery is amazing!! If Abby Mentioned it to you, I'd love to have you in my anthology if you fancy doing a strip or something. I'll be emailing people this week! :P
*Buml0r:iconBuml0r: Mar 26, 2007, 3:30:26 AM
I'd like to point out that I don't feel isolated particularly. Why DA chose to tell you I do is its own concern. Or rather, if I did feel isolated, I'm certain I would be too insular to actually tell you.
~InstantProductions:iconInstantProductions: Mar 12, 2007, 10:44:32 AM
Hahaha...the furry. I blame it on Sonic Passion.

And thank you. No, I haven't seen the video, though I want to now. Very much.

That's amazing. Have you seen the video that particular picture of me comes from?

As for Sonic scene nostalgia, it's a mixed blessing. We had good times, but now look. NOW LOOK! So many lost souls falling to the furry.
~InstantProductions:iconInstantProductions: Mar 11, 2007, 3:14:31 PM
Wow, 9 years? That's impressive. So you two were a starting couple back when Pokesoccer was just released!

As for the purple Knuckles/pink Tails, you two are what is to be considered nostalgia of the Sonic scene.

And this says something about your face: [link]

*Buml0r:iconBuml0r: Mar 11, 2007, 3:32:07 AM
Fair enough. I must say, I'm not so keen on people drawing me as a blue Knuckles any more, you know? It's bad for my manly image. Inasmuch as I'm a man, rather than a blue version of Knuckles. Still happily with Abby though, so that at least is still in date. We were a new couple when I recorded those voices...

We'll be celebrating our ninth anniversary this year.

And she's not a pink Tails, for that matter. In fact, I don't think the internet approves of what either of us look like. I only just recently managed to convince a small internet community that we're not a pair of creepy girly flying jester mutants. People love drawing me, but never with my face... what does that say about my face?

Haha, well, A Pocket Lapse is still on AJ's back burner, but when he gets some time, he's going to animate it some more. Although he's told me he's probably going to scrap his current make of it, and go with something completely fresh.

*Buml0r:iconBuml0r: Mar 10, 2007, 5:56:41 PM
Wait. A Pocket Lapse? That name is familiar enough to make me worried it might be the flash cartoon I was talked into recording some speech for WHEN I WAS STILL A CHILD.

I AM NOW TWENTY FIVE.

Tell me it isn't that. I mean, I just feel bad for AJ, that's a man without any damn time!
~InstantProductions:iconInstantProductions: Mar 9, 2007, 9:34:45 AM
I'm a good friend of AJ. And I'm also going to be in A Pocket Lapse when AJ gets SOME TIME.
