What's no longer new

Added version two of Luther Teleporting: this is a more detailed animation than the old version one of the animation, and I have allowed it to be a bigger file and tried to make the action as clear as possible. And when I say "bigger" I mean it.... it's now around a meg big... so only download this one when you're at work....

Also therefore updated Textgallery One, the Gallery Two homepage and the image page navigator to include links to the new page.

Since I launched the bulletin board any available spare time has been spent keeping that up to date, so in a fit of guilt I've added a couple of good pages today.

First of all I added the page showing Chester P Hackenbush as a beer label! Also updated the Lake District gallery with two new pages, showing Helen at Hill Top, and Helen looking out over the fields - with the photos showing the real world locations of course.

Also updated this very page to slim it down, and put the excess into the what's no longer new but is still fun to browse page. I think I am going to have to make a third what's no longer new etc page soon.....

Added a publicity shot of Bryan from 1982 when he launched the graphic novel of Luther Arkwright. I added this into thumbnail gallery 2 as it seemed most appropriate.. and also therefore had to update the text gallery 1, and the image page navigator.

Also updated the news page with all of Bryan's up to date news and info, and also updated the conventions homepage with news of what conventions Bryan will be attending this year.

Created a homepage for all interviews with Bryan and his comic convention reports, just so that they are all in one place on the site.

Also added thumbnail gallery four to the Heart of Empire series, and put the first pages into it, the rough, midway and final coloured versions of panel 3 of page 117 of issue four, together with the animation of all three stages: this meant also creating a new text gallery, updating the image navigator page, and updating the Gallery guide page.

I have also added a response to the Internet Magazine's review of the site, from a regular visitor to the site...

I just got a review in the Internet Magazine! The full story is in the news page, or you can see the review itself - but it is a large scan at 500k.

Also check out the review of Heart of Empire from the Indy Magazine... it is inspiring!

Added some more pithy quotes to the quotes page... it's amazing how many world famous artists and authors fall over themselves to praise Bryan's work...

Also had a bit of a house-cleaning session... if there are any problems with any of these pages, please, please let me know and I will sort it out!

Major update of the Heart of Empire galleries: all cover galleries are now in thumbnail gallery one. This means that gallery two and gallery three both had to be updated.

I also finally got to dedicate gallery three to showing Bryan's work in progress, except that now instead of first draft and finished article, I can show you the very first draft, the final black and white image and then the final colour version. The reason that so many of these images feature me as a character is that Bryan - quite rightly - assumed that these are the ones I would be most interested in. And although it is somewhat of an ego trip, I don't care!: I am a character in the Luther Arkwright multiverse, as drawn by Bryan! - YES!

Added two new images to the One Bad Rat thumbnail gallery: Bryan's self portrait and the preparatory sketch of a dead rat.

Also updated the lake district gallery with an image of Helen outside Cartmell Fell church, and an image of Bowland Bridge where Helen saw the heron.
