Babble
New Year, New Start

in Babble, Production
Well, OK, maybe the “new start” bit is a little misleading, seeing as we’re really just picking up where we left off before the Christmas break, but hey. Anyway, here’s hoping you all had a great time over Christmas/New Year, and you didn’t indulge too much…
So, 2012 should – if all goes according to plan – finally see the release of Babble, a fact we’re becoming increasingly excited about. There’s still some work to do before it goes press, of course, but we’re inching ever closer to the finish line, and we’re confident we’re going to produce a pretty solid book (Lee at Small Press, Big Mouth is already looking forward to it). How long that confidence will last, though, is another matter.
For now, though, it’s back to the grindstone…
…and it’s a Merry Christmas from us!

Well, it’s pretty safe to say that 2011 has been a pretty eventful year for us on the Babble front – who’d'a thought we’d end up with a presence at this years San Diego Comic Con?! Or that we’d end up on Comic Book Resources?! – but as the year draws to a close, we find ourselves slowly drawing to the end of our little journey, as the last few pages of art are worked on. There’s still a ways to go before you can hold a finished copy of Babble in your hand, of course, but it’s looking as if 2012 will be the year that it’ll finally happen.
For now, though, this here blog is going into hibernation over the Christmas period, so we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s been reading, and everyone who’s supported us through the course of the year – and especially everyone who helped us with The Babble Project. Here’s hoping we can do you proud…
On behalf of both of us, here’s wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.

From Bryan’s blog comes the final round of out of context screengrabs…
"Whoa!"
"It's my Jaws moment!"
The “final round?”, I don’t hear you asking. Yes, it this post is the final round of screengrabs that will be posted up here. Why? Well, because we’re almost finished and we don’t want to show any spoilers now, do we…?

Babble and Thought Bubble 2011
02 months ago
The final major UK comic convention of 2011 is almost upon us in the shape of Thought Bubble, the annual Leeds comic art festival. The event runs from 14th-20th November, and this year the main convention has been expanded to a two day event, with a huge mixture of people from the UK comics scene, and, of course, some special guests from across the pond. Our publishing overlords Com.X will be there, too, selling their wares and promoting their upcoming books.
We’ve had a long discussion about getting some previews of Babble ready for the con, and we’ve come to a pretty difficult decision: we’re not going to be having any on display with Com.X.
It’s not something we’ve taken lightly, but the main reasons behind it are pretty simple: we’re so very, very close to the end that it almost seems counter productive to stop now and go back to re-edit preview pages. However, I – Lee – will be there at the con, wandering the floor on Saturday, so if you’re so inclined, come and find me and ask me anything you want to about Babble. Not much of a consolation for the lack of previews, I know, but, hey.
However, if you absolutely must have some of our pre-Babble collaborations in your possession, Accent UK will be there, too, selling their anthologies Robots, Western and Predators – all of which feature strips by us!
And, if you want more of our work, head on over to the FutureQuake booth and grab yourself a copy of the latest issue of Zarjaz, where you’ll find ABC Warriors: Broken Dreams by us! Just look out for this rather scrotnig cover from Staz Johnson!
So, if you’re heading to Thought Bubble this year, be sure and grab copies of all four! And maybe even swing by the Com.X booth and ask them about Babble.

With Google+ unveiling their new Pages feature, we though it was time to jump back into the fray and set up a brand spanking new page for our little book!
The new Google+ Page!
At the minute, the page is undergoing some construction, so there’s not a whole lot to share, but that’ll change over the next few days. So, if you don’t use Facebook and don’t like Twitter, be sure and come join us on Google+!
