Diary of a Cartoonist: Watercolour paintings
http://karl-dixon.blogspot.com/2015/06/watercolour-paintings.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2015. I know, I know, it's been a long time since I posted.AGAIN! And every time I sneak back on here, with an apologetic air about me and always say that ' things will change from now on and that I will make a concerted effort to post every week'. Well lets face it, a genuine desire to produce regular posts have gotten me nowhere, so lets see if reverse psychology works. Anyway, all that said, lets get onto today's post. The painting is titled, 'the Friendly'. And acts as both a tutor...

http://karl-dixon.blogspot.com/2015/08/castle-comics-coming-soon.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Castle Comics- -Coming Soon. A couple of years ago I serialised a graphic novel called Brabbles and Boggitt, which was quite a big hit with you all at the time. But even before I posted the Brabbles and Boggitt story I produced a specialist comic for the Castle gift shop market in the UK. The book was titled Castle Comics. Although initially written for children, Castle Comics. All well and good, I hear you say, but why are you filling up my tea break with 'what happeneds'. Now t...

http://karl-dixon.blogspot.com/2015/07/dear-diary-1.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Brecon, or more specifically the street where I live, is a place of Policing anomalies. On Sunday, a pupil from the local private school dials 999 with a hoax call to the Police saying he can hear gun shots in the boarding houses where he lives. He looked very surprised indeed when the Rapid Response Unit arrived 10 minutes later, kicked the doors down and stormed the house with very powerful hand guns and semi. Automatics and did a systematic sweep of every room. And that proba...
