But already there have been some lovely little interludes, such as spotting a new speech bubble on our guard sheep at the \u003Ca href=\"http://thefleecestation.wordpress.com\">studio\u003C/a> door. Not only that, but \u003Ca href=\"http://whodunnknit.com/\">Ms Deadlyknitshade\u003C/a> had done a complete Mary Poppins sweep of tidying up the whole place while I was \u003Ca href=\"http://jabberworks.livejournal.com/373399.html\">away in Bishop's Stortford\u003C/a>. Wow.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/doorsheep-5f3ac76764.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOn my way up to Liverpool Street Station on the tube, I noticed a bunch of lovely clocks and snapped a couple photos. I spotted the first one at Whitechapel station and the other at Aldgate East.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/clock1-e3088ffc0c.jpg\">\\r\n\u003C!--more More photos and comics links under the cut!-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/clock2-8513d029b3.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI mentioned this in my last post, but I don't think I gave it enough of a shout because there are some AMAZING comics online - for free! - from some of Britain's leading talent. They're family friendly, but not just for kids, and you can find them all at \u003Cb>Comical Animal\u003C/b>, \\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://comicalanimal.com\">comicalanimal.com\u003C/a>. Issue 2 is out now!\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://comicalanimal.com\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/comicalanimal-e3cb323790.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nThe aestetics of this \u003Ca href=\"http://comicalanimal.com/?p=474\">strip by Fred Blunt in \u003Ci>Comical Animal\u003C/i>\u003C/a> made me incredibly happy. (Here's \u003Ca href=\"http://fredblunt.blogspot.com/\">Fred Blunt's blog\u003C/a>.)\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://comicalanimal.com/?p=474\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/fredblunt-15885d8692.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nAnd more good news for comics lovers, my fab studio mate \u003Cb>Gary Northfield\u003C/b> has just started up a blog where he's going to post a new episode to his comic every Thursday! Go have a peek at what he's doing on his \u003Ca href=\"http://stupidmonsters.wordpress.com/\">Stupidmonsters website\u003C/a>. One of the best things about sharing a studio is getting to peek at what the other people are working on, and Gary's been turning out the most amazing pictures these last few weeks for a book he's doing with Walker. He does such fab loose, funny drawings, it's terribly distracting when they're only a few feet away! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://stupidmonsters.wordpress.com/\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/garyblog-d55a057762.jpg\">\u003C/a>\\r\n\\r\nAnd the festival in Bishop's Stortford continues apace, you can catch a glimpse of the next day's events on \u003Ca href=\"http://www.stevecolebooks.co.uk/steves-space/blog/2011/feb/blog02-10-2011/\">Steve Cole's blog here\u003C/a>.
