It was Anna's birthday yesterday. We had a picnic in our flat with some pals, then went to the beach and got attacked by the Southend sea. Came back and played Lego Indiana Jones for the Wii. It was pretty good. I got her the first two Sandman Absolute Editions and they are fucking well sexy.

Wahey, I'm in Stockholm, this keyboard is well weird, but this place is great. There's about 7 H&Ms on every street and there's posters for Abba: The Museum everywhere you go. Lots of small dogs, lots of girls with their legs out, lots of sun, lots of good times with my lady.

Loads more to come, people. Jon Scrivens from Little Terrors is helping me put the Ellerbisms site together, so I guess that'll be up over the coming weeks.

As for now, I'm off to Sweden tomorrow with Anna and maybe we'll see the Hulk tonight.

Let's see. Updates 3 times a week for the foreseeable future? We'll see, but that's the plan atm.

Hey, I go to Sweden on Saturday to meet my girlfriend's parents and have a holiday. FUN, right? NO. NO NOT "FUN" I'M TOTALLY NERVOUS ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. Nah, I'm cool about it, I'm looking forward to the food more than anything, apparently the food is fucking sweet over there. And the islands. And the comic museum.

I'm cooking lamb tonight. I'm very excited about that too. Anna bought me a rosemary plant and a thyme plant and the other day we got a tiny mint one to complete our herb set. We also got this huge coconut plant for the lounge. We named it Bob (our other two plants are Steve and Jeff and we named them all after our reps at work)

Oh and I have SOLD OUT of Venal Muse and Polar Opposites and I'm not going to reprint them. Sorry if you wanted a copy, but hey, I'm going to stick them online later today or tomorrow.

I've returned, mother effs.

Wow, so having no internet fucking SUCKS.

So, moved in. It's nice, we're near the sea and there's no chavs for at least a 20 minute walk (which by Essex standards is pretty good). I haven't done much, really, apart from seeing Broken Social Scene (win!) and go to comic conventions, so I guess it's the later I'll be chatting about today...

Firstly, thank you to everyone who added me from discovering me at Bristol and Camden. I hope you enjoy my constant stream of absolute arse. Bristol was great, I like that show a lot. Camden was great too, a real surprise, but Oli put on a great show and I can't wait for the next one. Here's a video from Camden, I'm in a bunch of times, I'M EVEN SPAZZING DANCING...



What's emerged is how well me and McKelvie work together, though we're calling one another a prick every other minute, it's nice to finally get a chance to work conventions with him and we're kind of like minded? Plus he's SO GAY FOR ME.

Here are a few photos from Bristol, but check Flickr for loads more.










(cor!)

















Also worth checking out is John's flickr. It was great to finally meet John and I hope he comes out to cons more often (PLEASE JOHN!)

Page 45 have said very nice things about Ellerbisms Vol One. Which you can buy from me direct.

Ellerbisms vol one (£2-99, self-published) by Mar Ellerby. If you follow the link you'll find this on-line, but you want one for your coffee table as well, right? To amuse your friends while you fall drunkenly into your prized shrubbery. This is an equally confessional series of diary strips, only much funnier - even the excruciatingly painful trip to the Sexual Health Clinic (your eyes will water, boys). Lots of music and lusting and self-deprecation, Marc is effortlessly charming throughout. You really need to see his refreshingly clear and engaging cartooning as well, but if this helps send you back to that link, so be it.

"Oh man!
"What?"
"I've well done this Sudoku wrong! Now I've gotta tear it out so no one sees it and thinks I'm a giant prick."

"I just don't "get" Art, y'know."
"Oh, there's not much to "get" really. Just associate different things with certain aspects. Apart from this... This is shit."

I also got a nice mention and some artwork featured in the latest issue of Imagine FX a Sci-Fi & Fantasy arts magazine, which were covering comics for an issue (the pretty much should've renamed it "The Iron Man and Jamie McKelvie issue" but whatever) Here's some pichars from there (click to enlarge, innit) thanks to Kieron Gillen for setting that up.









Also, Phil Bond just favourited an Ellerbism on flickr (OMG!) Simon Bisley growled at Anna at Bristol (ew...) sigh, I love comics sometimes. Time for an egg sandwich. OM!
