Cooee! I see you’ve stumbled across our little tea-party. We’re having chocolate cake, millionaire’s shortbread, Swiss roll, custard tart and cookies. But only two cups of tea between six guests. Oh dear.

I’ve made this diorama to bring with me to UK Web and Mini Comix Thing on 27th March. I’ll add some more cups of tea before then. Also some more guests. Which additional My Cardboard Life characters will be invited to the tea-party? I don’t even know yet. You’ll have to come and visit me to find out. I’ll be at table 7 with some My Cardboard Life mini-comics and badges, and other items along those lines.

And you know what else… there’s a fun game called DINO-SAW-US which begins at UK Thing 2010. You can pick up a free passport, then visit the participating artists at the convention and collect stickers to go in your passport. Visit the DINO-SAW-US blog to find out who’s taking part.

Here’s a new ‘dress-up-Colin’ game with new clothes. He’s got to keep up with the latest trends after all!

This is a test I made to see what Pauline would look like animated. I cut the frames out of paper with a scalpel and stuck them to some card. Not a very tidy way of animating! She’s wobbling all over the place. I suppose I can claim she’s shimmying.

Another dress-up game. This time is Pauline who gets the style makeover, and she really needs it! She wears the same white dress all the time. The first thing you should do is drag that boring old dress off. Then choose her something a bit more sassy. If you want to take a screen grab and share a link to it in the comments section, go ahead, I’d like to see what you come up with.

This week I changed the update schedule from Mon/Wed/Fri to Mon-Fri. I’m going to do the same thing again next week, and hopefully might be able to stick to that schedule permanently.

I’m going to be in Leeds on the 21st November for Thought Bubble.  So if you’re going to that then I’ll see you there. I’ll have all the My Cardboard Life mini-comics with me (as well as some other comics/zines). I’m bringing some of the original strips along too so if you’ve ever wondered what Colin and Pauline look like “in the flesh” you’ll be able to find out.

You might have noticed that I’ve made a few small changes to the website. There’s now a ‘links’ section. There are links to various webcomics, divided into categories based on which My Cardboard Life character would read them.  I’ve also added more information to the ‘about’ section, with FAQ. The ’shop’ section has had a bit of a change-around too, now featuring a few non-My Cardboard Life items along side the My Cardboard Life mini-comics, cards and prints.

Last piece of news…if you haven’t seen it yet, The Xcentrikz interviewed me last week, so if you want to read the interview here it is.
