Hey folks, proving to <a href="http://shaneoakley.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Shane Oakley</a> (hi Shane!) I still exist:)<br />
I'm still drawing and still hanging round the internet, I just don't post here much any more.<br />
This is my most recent pic and to be honest it's something I rattled off really quickly and decided to colour after hearing some kid say 'thunder pig' and liking the sound of it... gotta get my kicks somehow haven't I.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-69121468255489633842013-11-14T20:18:00.001+00:002013-11-14T20:18:52.193+00:00Astrodog round upFirst off, Astrodog is on sale to buy on line <a href="http://paulmhd.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, so if you'd like a copy go ahead and order one.<br />
At the moment it's only UK postage, but I do plan to fix that, it's simply a case of me sorting about pricing, so if you're anywhere other than the UK and would like a copy, let me know.<br />
Secondly, I've received some lovely comments on twitter from happy Astrodog customers, but what's been particularly pleasing is how many people have told me their kids have enjoyed reading it, which is pretty much all I hoped for.<br />
Lastly, I've been lucky enough to get some really nice reviews so I thought I'd link to them.<br />
From back when Astrodog was appearing online <a href="http://comicsandcola.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zainab Akhtar</a> (do check out her site for some great reviews) wrote <a href="http://comicsbeat.com/the-beautiful-starry-adventures-of-astro-dog/" target="_blank">this</a> on The Beat. <br />
The excellent <a href="http://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Too Busy Thinking About Comics</a> blog review by Colin Smith <a href="http://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/the-considerable-virtues-of-astrodog.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and also a piece I wrote about some of the inspirations for Astrodog <a href="http://toobusythinkingboutcomics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/astrodog-weekend-part-2-paul-harrison.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
Over at The Beat <a href="http://www.comicbookgrrrl.com/" target="_blank">Laura Sneddon </a>wrote <a href="http://comicsbeat.com/review-cosmic-canine-capers-in-astrodog/" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
And finally here's Richard Bruton's review on Forbidden Planet's wonderfully comprehensive <a href="http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2013/review-astrodog/" target="_blank">blog</a> - I feel particularly honoured to feature in the wonderful library.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7433006" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7433006" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueInterface-M3'; font-size: small;">It was the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in Kendal, and the very first time I've had a table. The table was to sell print copies of Astrodog - yes, Astrodog is finished and it's in print. I'll be making Astrodog available for purchase online very soon too.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.Helvetica Neue Interface';">
<span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueInterface-M3'; font-size: small;">Sadly I didn't get to see as much of the festival as I would have liked, not only did I have a table but I was with my 6 year old daughter, which meant I couldn't really sample all that was on offer, which means I can't really review the festival. What I can say is this, it was brilliantly organised, lots of shops and venues in Kendal participated and appeared to reach a lot of folk who might not be regular comic fans, the organisers were incredibly helpful, the events looked great (and the people who went seemed to enjoy them) and I met a lot of people and sold more copies of Astrodog than I thought I would. I also spent an hour in Waterstones drawing pictures from kids and enthusing about my live of fingerpainting using the Finngr app to a family who seemed very interested in the process - I may have banged on to quite a few folk about fingerpainting!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.Helvetica Neue Interface';">
<span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueInterface-M3'; font-size: small;">Anecdotally I think sketches were very popular and although I wasn't charging for them I did do a few, including a dog portrait for an Astrodog fan.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.Helvetica Neue Interface';">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: '.HelveticaNeueInterface-M3'; font-size: small;">I'd have to say the first comic festival was a success, whether I go back trying to sell comics or not, I'll definitely be back</span><br />

It somehow grew to include 6 other brilliant creators (<a href="http://warwickjohnsoncadwell.blogspot.co.uk/">Warwick Johnson Cadwell</a>, <a href="http://dinlos.blogspot.co.uk/">Rob Davis</a>, <a href="http://jonathan-e.blogspot.co.uk/">Jonathan Edwards</a>, <a href="http://mookiest.tumblr.com/">James Howard</a>, <a href="http://www.garynorthfield.com/">Gary Northfield</a> and <a href="http://www.fumboo.com/">Jamie Smart</a>) that I feel privileged to be working with and Andy does a great job of outlining the, uh, 'organic' development <a href="http://thismeanswaugh.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/boo.html">here</a>.<br />
I won't be starting my strip for a few months, however I'm using the time to indulge my finger painting obsession and mess around with ideas. The following pictures are not really roughs or thumbnails for my strip, these scenes may never appear, but they're to get me in the mood and inspire me. <br />

I'm not quite ready to start my PaintGirl comic but I decided to ease into it by practicing drawing her. These are not meant to be studies of the character and her proportions, they are just playful doodles to help me get comfortable drawing her and trying to capture a mood.<br />
Of course I've ended up liking them more than any 'finished' work, they're not slaves to things like perspective or reference, they just exist and make no apologies for it. I'm hoping that this attitude and approach will bleed over into my non-finger-painted work, and I'll take steps to support that.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-55008490633054347572012-12-24T16:19:00.001+00:002012-12-24T16:29:31.910+00:00IIIIIT's CHRIIIIIISTMAS!!!!!Been neglecting to post work lately.

The ABC Warriors are the creation of Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill, supported by the excellent, Mick McMahon, Brendan McCarthy and many others.I've stuck pretty much to O'Neill's original designs rather than the 'muscular' look of later incarnations as, despite some great work, that's my preference.<br />
These have been put through an Instagram filter, mainly so they come out smaller than the set size Finngr does them which is pretty big.<br />
I've decided to make prints of some of the finger paintings, I've done 4 portraits for this, but I'll not post anything until I've arranged printing as the internet is notoriously fickle and I think a gap between posting and selling would hurt.<br />
I've not sold anything before as I find it hard to gauge interest for the kind of print run these things seem to need. But you have to take the plunge some time.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-52942212530076697452012-11-15T19:21:00.001+00:002012-11-15T19:21:30.987+00:00Rough and ready Monkey gif<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the small version of a gif I made to use in a smart notebook resource for teaching children about books from other cultures, in this case 'Journey to the West', for my primary teacher degree. All the drawing took me about 5 or 10 minutes, putting it together took a hours, because I'm an idiot :)paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-52903151938397972122012-11-04T15:03:00.000+00:002012-11-04T15:03:15.601+00:00Don Siegel finger painting processHere's a process gif of the Don Siegal finger painting.<br />

One of my favourite directors, with an impressive list of film to his name, including Riot in Cell Block 11, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Killing, Coogan's Bluff, The Beguiled, Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick and Escape From Alcatraz, all on my 'best film' ever list.<br />
No matter what the subject matter Siegel's films were tightly told with a minimum of fuss and flair, yet were far more than just service, the lack of fuss gave them a muscular leanness and the lack of flair was more to do with not getting in the way of the story rather than lacking in visual style.<br />
Siegel's raw stripped down style, with great silent moments and direct, almost terse at times, dialogue found a great match in Clint Eastwood, who featured in many of Siegel's films.<br />

Because I'm a fan I'm slightly disappointed by not doing a better job at capturing his likeness. In many ways he should be a perfect fit for my slightly Muppet-y cartoony style, but I didn't capture the twinkle in his eye. Still, it's not a bad likeness.<br />

I opted to draw Shelly Duvall rather than Jack, because he get's more airtime, and persoanlly I think she sells the fear and edginess that makes The Shining work.<br />
I decided to save as many stages as I could remember when I did this one and have a go at making my first Gif - I'm afraid I have no idea why it isn't showing the solid black... anyone else? Hopefully this gives a little insight into how the process works. As you can see I start of with a rough shape and placement and then add and refine from there. As Finngr has no erase function you can see that the only way to correct is to paint over what doesn't work - this is also how I refine bits, by carving away what doesn't work by painting over with whatever the base colour is.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-4487049050332113292012-10-31T00:16:00.002+00:002012-10-31T00:16:46.392+00:00Creature From The Black Lagoon Fingerpainting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wonderful design, and a great. There's some lovely scenes in Creature From The Black Lagoon, and one of my favourite doesn't even feature the creature - it's a shot of the boat going one way as the camera tracks the other way. All those wrinkles were loads of fun to draw<br /><br />paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-37139068528708008202012-10-31T00:10:00.002+00:002012-10-31T00:10:58.770+00:00Mad Love fingerpaintingI saw Peter Lorre in Mad Love when I must have been about 9, I've never forgotten it.

Why did I draw Jon Bon Jovi? It was the challenge of how to do the hair. Does it look like Jon Bon Jovi, not really, but check out the hair.<br />
Alien, after tackling Jon's curls I figured the piping on everyone's favourite xenomorph would be a doddle.... and it was :)<br />
Two from American Werewolf in London, because it's a brilliant film and because the hair, then the shredded face were going to be a challenge. They were, but they were fun to do too.<br />
Rawls from The Wire is not a bad likeness I think, and it came pretty fast too... of course at this point they were taking more than 5 minutes, but 10+ minutes didn't seem too bad. McNulty was a little trickier, probably because I didn't use anyone particular piece of reference, just cobbled together a pic using a few different ones.<br />
A tree and a car, back to doing something quick and off the cuff.<br />
It's nearly Halloween, so I started doing some horror classics, these last three, Two Lon Chaney's and a Frank from Hellraiser, were back to being a bit quicker and less precious about capturing a likeness, but they also had the advantage of not needing an exact likeness as they're fairly iconic.<br />
Somewhere inbetween the early speedy fingerpainting of the first few in this series and the later detail seems like a nice compromise.<br />
And there you have it (well, not quite, there's just not enough for one of these collections), fingerpaintings so far. There's nearly 90 of these now and they've been worth their imagined weight in gold for me, they've been a lesson in simplicity vs detail, but most importantly they've been fun to do, and finding drawing fun seems to be what it's all about. paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-49874313417706598312012-10-30T23:41:00.000+00:002012-10-30T23:41:24.034+00:00FIngerpainting collection 7<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love me some Phibes, and Price and his craggy make up was a joy to get lost in. Worf presented some issues of colour choice. Giant Haystacks came quick and easy, I wonder if it was because I wasn't too worried about the likeness? Kurgan looks nothing like Clancy Brown, sadly. The next 4 are people on the bus and in a coffee shop, so you'll have to trust me when I say they looked EXACTLY like this.<br />If you draw Giant Haystacks, you have to draw Big Daddy, it's a law.<br />
80s synthpop singer Claudia Brucken.<br />
Lemmy, done in a minute, which is why he probably looks as much like Sean Connery as Lemmy.<br />
The Joker, as played by <span class="st">Cesar Romero, </span>I should probably do the other versions of the Joker, make a nice set.

Nothing much to say about the random guy I made up, just having fun.<br />
Can you tell it's Walter Bishop? I didn't use reference, so it's not great, I was just watching Fringe at the time.<br />
5 from Arrested Development, Tobias Funke fell straight of my finger, and it seemed obvious to do him in his blue man make up. Buster didn't take much work either, but Gob, George Sr and George Michael Jnr took a bit more work. I think they all sort of look like who they're meant to be, but gain a bit more recognition from being grouped together.<br />
Slaine from 2000ad, and a nod to Mick McMahon's version.<br />
If you've ever been anywhere near me with a pint you may have heard me babble about how amazing Superman The Movie is, so when I decided to draw the Zod, Ursa and Non I wan't to see how well I could draw them 'properly', even to the extent of briefly dropping the 'muppet' nose for Zod. THe tricky bit about Zod was not just trying to get a good likeness of Terence Stamp with a chubby thumb on a tablet screen and no zoom function to help me out, but to get that wonderful haughty expression... I'll leave it to others to judge if I managed it. Ursa was tough, I admit it, and I'm not too happy with how she looks, which is a shame and it's one of the few pics I'd like to revisit (but forward is the name of this exercise, which I started to realise it'd turned into at this point) After the failure of Ursa I was chuffed when Non just appeared in a few minutes.<br />
Picard was a pretty quick pic, and I recall my wife shouting from the bedroom (she was ill at the time) that I was supposed to be walking the dog not doing another bloody fingerpainting... at this point, I was clearly suffering an illness just as much as she was:)paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-35028327030984948202012-10-30T23:17:00.002+00:002012-10-30T23:17:59.529+00:00Fingerpaint collection 5<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

IF, like me, you like horror and comedy, you're probably a fan of The League of Gentlemen. Hilary Briss and Edward & Tubbs are some of my favourite fingerpaintings, they're still quick and cartoony, but I think the likeness is strong, and not just down to the focusing on the key obvious bits.<br />
Blackadder 1 and 2 don't quite capture the likeness, but I think they capture the character, 1 looks simpering and 2 looks in control, so I'm happy with that. It's a similar thing with all 4 of The Young Ones.<br />
Columbo is the one though. The likeness isn't perfect, but I had such fun drawing the wonderful rumpledness of Peter Falk that I found, that despite my earlier thoughts, a degree of detail was possible - it required 'chiseling' away the lines a little, which seemed counter to my earlier quick 'get something down' efforts, but as it was still enjoyable, then I was fine with it. This was the point where I not only realised I wanted to go further with capturing a likeness, but that I was jsut having a great time and drawing was loads of fun. Thank you fingerpainting!<br />
Kirk and Spock are a bit of a step back from Columbo, but I was doing these pretty fast (anywhere from 2 to 5+ minutes) and launching into the next one that I wish I'd taken a breath just a little and done a slightly more considered version... that said, they were both fun, they look like who they're meant to be, and I think I even (accidentally) managed to make them look like a mix of both actor who played them.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-83649758060325445482012-10-30T23:04:00.000+00:002012-10-30T23:04:58.749+00:00Fingerpaint Collection 4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As Bubbles didn't work out I went back to something simpler again, but although The Scarecrow and Tin Man were my own design, I couldn't resist a nod to the film versions of The Wicked Witch of The West and the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz.<br />
Laurel and Hardy are a bit of a gift for the simple but recognisable thing I was going for, they aren't great, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't obvious who they're meant to be.<br />
The next 3 were done in a coffee shop and so even though they're rough were another attempt at trying to be a bit more considered before applying thumb to screen.<br />
I can't resist drawing SUperman, and he'll always look vaguely 50s-ish when I draw him - see <a href="http://paulhd.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/superman.html">here for proof</a>.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-77661727771127726242012-10-30T14:45:00.001+00:002012-10-30T14:45:20.753+00:00Fingerpainting collection 3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last 3 Game of Thrones pics, and I was pretty chuffed with Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane and Khal Drogo, still fairly simple focusing on key information (for me, it looks like Drogo just because of the eyebrows), but they came together quite well I thought. Daenerys Targaryen was a little trickier and didn't come off so well.<br />
Not much to say about Spidey. Ziggy Stardust Bowie look like a junkie in drag, which isn't exactly inappropriate, but I was grasping for subject matter here and with Thin White Duke Bowie, guess I was wanting a theme to follow on from Game of Thrones?<br />
The quick Clockwork Orange pic came out ok, I quite like the pose..... not so much with Tron.<br />
Dylan looks nothing like Dylan, but I quite like the pic, so that's ok.<br />
Back to the portraits with one of me, it looks more like me than the pic of Bubble from The Wire, who looks a bit like Yozzer Hughes from Boys From The Black Stuff. Bubbles/Yozzer was frustrating, I really wanted to do something as good as I thought 'The Hound' and Drogo came out, which probably inspired how the next three fingerpaintings came out.paulhdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07927319711682494407noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7433006.post-72077043847412835222012-10-30T10:10:00.000+00:002012-10-30T10:10:07.725+00:00Fingerpaint collection 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bond appears and which I guess is the start of 'likenesses'. Bond appeared simply because he was on the cover of the Radio Times when I was doodling. I think the red for the face is quite striking, but I later decided that keeping coming up with a different colour for skin tones was going to be tricky when Finngr only has 8 colours, so I eventually settled on grey.<br />
Matt Smith as the Doctor barely looks like him, but I think the big nose and sweeping hair is enough to make the point. Also, the muppet nose seems to make it's first appearance. I've always felt noses drawn with an outline can be a bit weird looking, and I've started to think of noses as interesting shapes.<br />
My version of Batman is probably closer to Adam West than Frank Miller, so this has the fun of West and a pose that's taking the mickey from one of the Dark Knight covers... when I posted this one on twitter I called 'Batman playing with a balloon'.<br />
I'm a huge fan of Mr X in a variety of his incarnations..... he's very easy to draw and make look striking.<br />
Wally Wood/Al Williamson/Frazetta style 50's tearaway. It's not great, but it was my first go at adding detail to one these and I was quite surprised to see that I could.<br />
Could I fingerpaint from life? My daughter eating cereal say still long enough to prove I could. I still really like this, but I can't put my finger (*groan*) on exactly why.<br />
With Jon Snow the whole portrait thing took hold, it doesn't look like him, but fingerpainting doesn't really allow for that much control, particularly when you can't zoom and the like, or at least that's what I thought at the time. Like the Matt Smith pic, it seemed best to latch on to some clear aspects of the character, in Snow's case it was the mopey face and amazingly tousled hair. After doing one Game of Thrones character, I thought I might as well do more.<br />
Joffrey is barely recognisable, but he looks smug and sinister and that was enough for me.<br />
Robert Baratheon doesn't seem a bad likeness, I tried a different colour on his face to try and capture his florid look, it makes him look more like a muppet, but that's ok I think.<br />
Ned Start probably look a bit better drawn but there's neither likeness or 'key recognisable points', and I was a bit disappointed to be sticking so close to reference - the previous pics had been done either off the top of my head or just looking at a few different refs and making up my own version.<br />
At the time I wasn't happy with Tyrion Lannister as a drawing or a likeness, but looking at it now, it looks ok. I think the benefit of grouping the characters together is that it becomes obvious who is who by contrast and association without worrying too much about getting an exact likeness and just focusing on the character..... maybe that's the problem with Ned, the others have some kind of expression that tries to sell who they are, Ned just looks all noble and stoic. Tyrion could've done with a better try at capturing his character, he is one of the best things about Game of Thrones after all.<br />
