So here we are my dears - the new, streamlined and comic filled Fallen Angel.

With the last site getting far too cluttered we're going back to basics and concentrating on the joy of comicing for the sake of comicing. I've stripped out all the cms and other dead scripts and aside from the rather sexy drop-downs, i'm living the love of html once again. All the old content is still here but compact and out the way and all news, updates etc. will be posted here from now on.
There are some graphics left to do and a few broken pages (store mostly) but i'll get to them next week, i just really wanted to get the site back up. On that point, no Fallen this week as i'm away on a training course until Tuesday now so as always, i'll leave you with a 'mostly' complete FAM    ^_^

Thank f#*k that's all over with!

    giving in.....
    --  26 Aug '10

Stress... seriously.. i know i'm a self destructive creature at the best of times but what the hell is wrong with me?

Anyway, important things:

Uncharacteristically, i'm giving in to public pressure because i can't stand being fucking badgered all the time and i'm putting all the comics back online. This also includes all the Left of Centre strips which most of you won't have seen before - there! aren't i a nice girl!! now shut up you bastards! seriously, i've got enough on my plate!!

now go and enjoy our lovely comics..

Don't know where they are - hah! that's 'cause i haven't done it yet as i'm rather fed up with the site cms i'm using so it's all getting simplified and they will go up then..
expect change...

oh, and there's more show news coming up but i'll post that once i've finished stripping the site down..

it's all go at FAM i can tell you!! all i need now is a few weeks holiday in, say, columbia and i'll be right as rain ^_^

    London con & Thieving bastards   -- 1 Jul '10

So the weekend saw us heading off to the London film and comic con at Earls court and after enjoying it muchly last year i was really looking forward to this one #_#

A big part of this was due to the fact that we were imposing on the charity of the very lovely and very Irish Cliodhna from Ztoical (we love you!!) as well as hooking up with fysh, geof, mavis, alex and others and just basically getting to spend time with me mates! In the end though it all turned into a bit of mission....

After a pretty smooth run to the smoke we were set up and ready to go in the hall by early Friday afternoon - score!! The fist event though happened when we couldn't get a hold of our Irish connection and so decided to head to a nearby pub to hang around and decide on the next course of action. As it happened the poor dear had gotten locked out and had to wait for the neighbours to come from work so she could a-team over the backyards and get in. Nightmare! She did acquire a kitten and get to watch another neighbour be carted off by the local constabulary mind so at least she wasn't board ^_^

Fun was had Friday night despite the damn curry house we headed off to keeping us waiting for nearly an hour for food by which time we were dying!! Seriously, what is it with London Indian restaurants and us!!?? Every fuckin' time we go to one they keep us waiting an age or even on one occasion forgetting us altogether!! The general consensus is that we're cursed :(
Following that the acquired kitten decided to spend the whole night fighting foxes in the back yard so not much sleep was had and we were pretty grumpy until lunchtime where we were revived by the powers of bacon (seriously, i don't know if you've ever heard the sound a pissed off fox makes - it's really loud and very freaky!)

Anyway, the show itself went pretty well. Sale we're good and it was great to see a lot of the same folks as last year coming back to the table for a chat. Oddly, i don't think i did one sketch for anyone this year? Last year i must have done over 20 sketches a day! odd. Still, i did get a load of drawing work done and arranged some other business as well so in that respect is was a pretty good show for us (the only downside was the really irritating chick on the table next to us of whom opinion in the pub on Sunday was if her head was any further up her own ass she'd need gps to find the way out - i know it's bad form to slag off other artists on the web but seriously, she really was such a fucking naive idiot!).

After the first day was done we headed off to the pub for libations, catching up and fun banter where some absolute bastard (and my then rot in intense pain in a hell of their own making until the end of days the mother fuckers!!!!!!) swiped my bag from under my chair despite 6 onlookers and my foot being on it most of the time...
This marked the end of the fun the evening.

Not only was it the ultimate buzz-kill but we then had to prevail on the kindness of our friends and contact the banks, police, phone and bus co. etc. and get everything cancelled before the fuckers could use anything. It wasn't until after several hours on the phone and all this was sorted that i realised that my wedding rings were in there as well since i had taken them off when lugging all the kit to the venue and a didn't want to (ha!) loose them... at this point i had a little breakdown much to, i'm sure, the embarrassment of all those present (and i am so deeply sorry!!).

After a decent nights sleep (thank fuck!) and much tea we made it through the second day of the show where we met some really lovely folks and cheered up by this headed back to the pub (i won't be scared away!!) and spent the afternoon having fun with our mate (highlight of the weekend by far!).
In the final straw, on the way back to the coach the damn sack truck we lug the kit on threw a wheel so i had to drag the whole lot unaided across London and spent the next two days with evil pains in my trapezius. Got home - relief was found.

So all in all, a real up and down sort of a trip... loads going on for FAM to tell of but i'll save that until next week when i'm a bit more with it so i'll finish with:

to the rancid little bastard that stole my stuff - you will get what you deserve, of that i am sure.
