This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.
Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

Yesterday Elyssa and I went to the Royal Academy to see the Kuniyoshi exhibition. Masterful prints of beautiful images with a bold line and generally flat colours, all very reminiscent of that lovely ligne claire style. In my early teens I used to copy and colour such images from Stephen Turnball's Book of the Samurai. Now I've added the Kuniyoshi catalogue to my bookshelf as well. Inspiring stuff, so do try and see it before it closes on 7th June.
And last week The Bookseller ran an advert for The Rainbow Orchid (see below). Huge thanks to fellow comic creator Paul Harrison-Davies for letting me know and sending a scan - you can currently see his fabulous work gracing Huzzah! and Huzzah! Noir.
