Would you like an A5 drawing of a character or a real life person you totally love in my style? It'll cost £10 and you can email me at marclrb at gmail.com to set things up. To see the ones so far, clicky!

If you're waiting for books from me, I'm really sorry for the delay in getting them out to you. It's been a nightmare recently getting books to people as since the start of the year I've been selling out of at least one of books every month. Which is great for me, but totally bad for my customers as delays are starting to occur due to the fact I keep having to go back to press.

I've also decided to stop producing the Ellerbisms myself as it's taking too much time and money to get them right. So, I gave the task to my local printer and this was the results...



Yep, they printed the covers in black and white and with a border. Clapity clap clap clap. The day before a convention, too. So, that didn't go work out so well. I'm now going with another printer although they're on holiday this week so hopefully they'll turn out nice and sexy. When will they get done? I dunno, hopefully next week though I'm getting proofs to make sure they do indeed turn out nice and sexy.

So yes, if you ordered anything after May 25th you are likely to be effected by this. The books are coming, no worries about that, it is just taking me slightly longer than normal in getting them out to people.

Thanks for the patience.

Ah, a couple of old favourites combined and coloured.

This'll appear in Popgun 4 coming later this year from Image Comics.

Colour help from the amazing Adam Cadwell. Gah, I know it's early showing this but I can't help myself, I'm so excited about it.

So, yesterday's Ellerbism was possibly the darkest comic I've ever drawn and the next couple are going to be equally uncomfortable. In order for me and my audience to not go totally insane, I'm going to start uploading some new, unseen, Polar Opposite strips. "What's a Polar Opposite?" you say? Well, click here, young fellow to see two penguins being bloody LOL to one another.

Hope you enjoy! There'll be a new one every Friday!

I've written and drawn a 14 page comic called "I Went Away" in the new Image anthology "This Is A Souvenir". The idea of the anthology is that the comics are based on songs by the band Spearmint and their songwriter Shirley Lee, much like their Tori Amos and Belle & Sebastian anthologies. The only thing is, not that many people have actually heard of Spearmint and I must admit to being one of them. I popped into Gosh yesterday and chatted to a clerk and they're all convinced that Spearmint don't actually exist and they're made up. Which, sounds like something Matt Sheret would put together - an anthology based on song lyrics by a band that doesn't actually exist.

Anyway, this stuff's kinda seven months old. To me, it looks dated already but to you it might still look Ellerby enough to be enjoyed. Regardless of which, there are some other people I quite like in there, like Chynna Glugston, Jamie S. Rich and (ugh) the Phonogram boys, so it is worth a look even if you don't know anything about the band.

Hey, so, at the MCM Expo just past, I drew some comic characters I really enjoy to see if I could get anyone to commission me into drawing something similar for them. No one took the bite, however I did sell both these drawings within 20 mins of putting them on Twitter last night. Which got me thinking, maybe there's other people out there who would want a Marc Ellerby version of one of their favourite characters/people/family members/etc.

So...

I will draw you a black and white illustration of your choice on A5 Bristol Board (8.2" x 5.6") for £10(including UK P+P, overseas will be higher in price)

You'll need to email me at marclrb at gmail dot com to place an order and it's first come, first serve, but I'll have a webpage to show where you are in the queue.

Thanks!

I've totally been neglecting this blog forever, so I'm going to try and post a bit more regularly. I know you've all clearly missed my badly spelt, whiny posts, but don't fear all is well at Ellerby H.Q. Things are great, if not a little too busy at Ellerby H.Q...

I'm just popping in to ask very, very, very, very nicely of you to nominate me for an Eagle Award (the Bafta of comics!) You can nominate me in the best UK b/w comic category or the best UK webcomic category. Today's the last day to nominate me and I'd really appreciate it if you did. Chloe's not valid as it came out in 2009. BOO!

I'll also be appearing at the MCM Expo this weekend in London Dockland's Excel centre. Come along in Marc Ellerby cosplay! I'll be there with Adam Cadwell and John Allison. HOORAY!

This is a Souvenir came out this week and I've got a story in it. Good comic stores should stock it, if not Amazon it.

A proper blog is coming. Seriously. Thanks for everyones patience.

I'll be appearing at the Swedish Small Press Expo this weekend at the Serieteket in the Kulturhuset in Stockholm. It's a free event and I'm sharing a space with Adam Cadwell and Lizz Lunney.

To celebrate our first international show as a unit we're giving away a free compilation. It's limited to just a little over 100 copies and I highly doubt we'll have any to bring home with us but we might do something like this again in the future? If you were wondering, "samlat" translates as "collected" and "gratis" means "free".
