Continuing to contribute the occasional comic to Simpsons and Futurama has been an absolute blast. Starting my own project, 'Itty Bitty Bunnies in Rainbow Pixie Candy Land' has been long overdue heaps of fun.
Also being a guest at both OzComic Con and Armageddon Expo were definite highlights. I was treated extremely well by the organizers and I got to me some really great people who've been very supportive of my work.
And just generally feeling pretty proud of the artwork I've made of the year.
Who are some of the comics creators that you've discovered and enjoyed for the first time in 2012?
I had the pleasure of meeting Agnes Garbowska earlier in the year. And I have to say her work is pretty damn adorable - http://www.facebook.com/agnesgarbowska?fref=ts
What is something non-comics that you have enjoyed in 2012?
I've been lovin' Dr Who at the moment.
Have you implemented any significant changes to your working methods this year?
I bought one of those cintiq wacom tablets (either late last year or early this year. I can't quite remember). But I swear, that thing has changed my life. I do all my 'inking' on it now and just love it.
What are you looking forward to in 2013?
I've got about 8 more pages to go on 'Itty Bitty Bunnies' and I'm looking forward to exposing them to an unsuspecting public.
I'm really hoping to be doing more Simpsons stuff. And I'm working on some try-out pages for Spongebob. So wish me luck!
The official announcement hasn't been made yet but I'm coming over to New Zealand mid next year! Woo-Hoo!
