Neill's blog: May 2015

Tuesday, 5 May 2015. Mega Robo Bros LIVE! This weekend saw the third annual Phoenix Children's Comics Festival - or #PHOENIXFEST15. To hashtag it all up in here - at the Story Museum in Oxford, and an amazing fun time it was too. I was there on the Saturday and it was just stunning to be surrounded by such enthusiasm, creativity and sheer bursting-at-the-seams excitement for comics. And for OUR comics! Honestly, it's hard to put into words how great it was to see. Look who I bumped into:. Just so much fu...

Neill's blog: Hellboy to the power of Hellboy
http://neillcameron.blogspot.com/2015/06/hellboy-to-power-of-hellboy.html
Monday, 8 June 2015. Hellboy to the power of Hellboy. I was excited to recently read of the discovery of a new dinosaur. Which has the enjoyable distinction of being a bit like a Triceratops but a bit different, and thus very likely qualifies as the coolest thing to happen in 2015 so far. Also enjoyable is the fact that it's discoverers nicknamed the fossil 'Hellboy' - not in fact for anything to do with the horns, but because of some peculiar difficulties in the excavation. Part Three: Things You Can Do.

Tuesday, 20 January 2015. My comic Mega Robo Bros starts its second series in The Phoenix. To celebrate this exciting fact I thought I'd spend this week sharing some art from the strip, and even some full episodes, and pulling back the curtain a bit to talk about, you know, the artistic process and my thoughts and feelings and all that dumb stuff. He's the sensitive one. And this is Freddy:. Which can be confusing. Anyway: as I say, the second 'season' begins this week! Anyway, as I've been doing these s...

Neill's blog: Mega Robo Update
http://neillcameron.blogspot.com/2015/06/mega-robo-update.html
Friday, 12 June 2015. Saw the last episode in the current run of my series Mega Robo Bros. By way of something completely different, this week's Phoenix features a thing I'm very excited about; I had a chance to collaborate with one of my favourite cartoonists, James Turner. Of Star Cat fame, and I grabbed that chance and drew muscular barbarians all over it. Is currently putting together the Tamsin and the Deep. Page for details. More to be announced there soon! Okay, that's pretty much what I'm doing!

Monday, November 16, 2015. Don’t Lose Your Love For Writing! Experiment with new genres to rediscover your creative joy. When did I start to dread writing? When did it become work – the kind you talk about with a. The kind that makes tackling a sink full of dirty dishes or a basket of laundry. Sound like an appealing alternative?
