It began to turn into a comic called \u003Ci>\u003Cb>Kevin, the badly drawn sheep\u003C/i>\u003C/b>. But I'm not a huge fan of Facebook, so I thought I'd better post them here since this is my blogging home base. It's a bit silly, I don't know if I'll keep going with it or not. But after I finished making it, I did an illustration for work that I really liked, and very quickly, so I think it was all grist for the mill. (Extra points if you spot the sheep-in-the-box reference, but it's not essential.)\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_01-9589317ea1.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_02-0c0b1eb1bd.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for more panels under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_03-2b34b64d8b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_04-30b825a3c5.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_05-cbc476c67f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_06-14d2086fb6.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_07-2831399ffd.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_08-a0dd79107c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/kevin_09-76575a3eb6.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd one more thing, here's a fab song and animation I spotted on the \u003Ca href=\"http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2011/have-you-seen-my-sister-evelyn/\">FPI blog here\u003C/a>:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Clj-embed id=\"1275\"/>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/29939081\">Evelyn Evelyn \"Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn\" Music Video\u003C/a> from \u003Ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/amandapalmer\">Amanda Palmer\u003C/a> on \u003Ca href=\"http://vimeo.com\">Vimeo\u003C/a>.\u003C/p>","2011-10-19T20:49:00.000Z","the-strumpet-kevin-the-badly-drawn-sheep",[],"the strumpet + kevin the badly drawn sheep",1776628720845]
