a fresh start

Hello!

I'm ba-a-a-a-a-ack! Hooray!

Anyone? Can I get a 'hooray'? Anyone?

FINE.

Anyway, those of you who used to frequent this blog, back when I used to actually update it, will be quick to notice that ALL the other posts have been discarded, thrown away into the great, virtual dustbin, and that the whole place has been given a fresh lick of virtual paint. Lovely.

Now, I can start again, but make it good this time. Hopefully.

For those of you that never used to read the rubbish I'd pour out, hello! I'm Andy Fanton, I'm a male (I just had to check then, and yes I am), twenty-eight years of old, and I am trying to do something creative with my life.

So far, this has resulted in:

• A picture getting printed in The Beano, when I was thirteen or something. I won a t-shirt, a jumper AND a poster for it, too! I still own all three prizes.

• While I was at sixth form (college too common for you, posh boy?) I created, edited and wrote for the school newspaper, The Scum. It was a spoof tabloid newspaper, full of 'hilarious' satirical articles that we thought were funny, but were actually a bit rubbish. We did cause controversy, once, when I drew a cartoon of the Pope chasing after a woman, but apart from that we did not bring down the establishment or start a revolution. Ah, well.

• I have also created a web comic about a kung-fu fighting carrot, called The Carrotty Kid, which has so far yielded my biggest success so far, when Cosgrove Hall Films (the animation studio responsible for Danger Mouse) picked CK up for TV super-stardom, resulting in this three-minute pilot episode getting made (largely by the fabbo Mike Whaite) and which featured the voice of legendary actor Burt Kwouk. Look at it now:

Awesome, eh? Yes. Yes it is, is the answer.

Finally, I also have recently started a blog about a Victorian aristocratic adventurer, called The Astonishing Adventures of Lord Likely, which I'm really enjoying and so, it seems, are YOU. Not neccessarily you, per say. But you.

So, there you go. That's me. What will I do next? I don't know, stop asking me. But I hope it's not rubbish.

NOW: ON WITH THE SHOW! (Blog).

Tara!
