Hiatus

This is the second hiatus this fan site has had in 15 years.

I don’t know how to explain it without a long awkward series of reasons…so lets just skip that. :)

If there are any future updates, I will post them…you can subscribe to the rss feed to be notified of updates.
I hope you enjoy the site as it is.

Site Tweaks

If anything breaks on this site, you can be sure who’s to blame…
I’ve been tinkering about with the forum – minor improvements and modifications.
It’s not been that active, but I like to keep it around all the same.
We’ve had the member gallery bridged with it for a year or two, but I hadn’t managed to utilise it that effectively until lately. It can be viewed in the tabs at the bottom.

I was hoping to kick off a total site re-vamp this month…it’s just one of those things I would like to do, then reality comes along! This hamster layout is three years old.

Bad Island by Doug TenNapel

Bad Island by Doug TenNapel is out this month! It’s in full colour and published by Graphix – an imprint of Scholastic books.

Something on this island is up to no good…

When Reese is forced to go on a boating trip with his family, the last thing he expects is to be shipwrecked on an island-especially one teeming with weird plants and animals. But what starts out as simply a bad vacation turns into a terrible one, as the castaways must find a way to escape while dodging the island’s dangerous inhabitants. With few resources and a mysterious entity on the hunt, each secret unlocked could save them…or spell their doom. One thing Reese knows for sure: This is one Bad Island.

Bad Island is available in Paper-back (with a bumpy relief!) or Hard-cover.

I worked on Bad Island last year as lead colourist. There’s more information about the colour side of Bad Island on my illustration site.

On the same subject of comics, Doug TenNapel’s web comic Ratfist is finally coming to a close this week. I hope you enjoyed it if you were reading along this year – if you missed out, then just read from the beginning at any time!
