The latest in a long line of increasingly bizarre crossovers from some weird alternative universe where all notions of good taste and sense are thrown to the wind, this sees DC Comics' and DC Thomson's finest united against the Clown Prince of Crime and, uh... well. See for yourself:

Yes, shark-infest custard. I can now die happy.

If you don't know who Bananaman is, here's the title sequence to his 80s TV show, moderately beloved by a generation:

And this is Batman:

The Brave and the Daft

A sneak peek of a VERY silly thing I drew today:

Open All Hours

HEY YOU! If you're interested in buying one of my prints or sketchbooks, but you can't be bothered arseing about with emails and what-have-you... Well, I can't say I blame you. So you might be interested to know I have a BIG CARTEL shop now. And here it is: http://danmcdaid.bigcartel.com/

You'll find this sort of thing waiting for you there:

And I'm going to be adding more prints and probably original artwork there in the months to come, so stay tuned. Hey, does anyone even know what stay tuned means these days? Like the record scratch effect (still ubiquitous in trailers for hack comedies), hasn't it become completely passe? How much "tuning" does one do on a daily basis these days? I'd argue almost none. That said, I bought a new TV recently and was surprised to find that extensive tuning was still necessary to find the channels (and I couldn't find *any* channels as it turned out, because Freeview is a f*cking joke). Hours - or it felt like hours - were spent staring at static, as my useless new telly tried to find BBC Four, ITV3... Christ, I would have settled for QVC. Nothing. When I was a kid, I called the static between channels "trash", and it scared the bejeezus out of me. It still creeps me out a bit, I don't mind admitting.

If there's a hell, this is what it looks like.

Egg Hunt!

From the latest Doctor Who Magazine - here's a room full of treasures from across time, space and reality itself! How many can YOU spot?

Space Jockin'

Sort of influenced by all the Prometheus talk that was in the air a couple of weeks ago, here's how a couple of panels from my current Doctor Who strip worked out.

Cap vs. Judge Dredd

A bit of a promo art I did for the Glasgow Comic Con. There's more to this, but if you want to see it... BE THERE.*

*or, like, wait a month till I put the finished piece up on my blog. That's fine too.

Buy Me!

In a couple of weekends time, I'm going to be at the Glasgow Comic Con in... well, in Glasgow. While there, I'm going to be sketching, making nice and generally living it up. I'll also have sketchbooks and prints for sale, so look out for stuff that looks like this:

Even if you're not going to the con, you can still get your hands on my goods! I'm selling the sketchbooks and the prints for 5 UKP (plus 2.50 p&p). The prints are signed (if you like), and I'll do a wee sketch on the inside flap of each sketchbook.

If you want one, drop me a line danmcdaid@yahoo.co.uk Or you can Paypal me at the same address.

The Glasgow Comic Con is on the 30th June-1st July. Come get some!

PUNY HUMANS

All being well, this should be the cover of my forthcoming sketchbook. I'm getting a proof sent this week, and if it looks nice, I should have some of these for sale at the Glasgow Comic Con (and maybe through the blog? Yeah, probably here as well. Anyway - watch out it's cominggggg!!!)
