About me:
I'm a small press artist and I do a comic called The Gilded Trapezoid. I also collaborate with Conor Ritchie on Milton and various other projects.
My work appears in The Liberal magasine, Mustard Magasine, and Meat Magazine and issue 2 of Bedsit Journal.
Trapezoid and Milton are sold in Gosh, Orbital Comics and the Cartoon Museum in London, and now in Dave's Comics in Brighton and Travelling Man in Newcastle. Alternative I'm up for tradeing/postal delivery if you'd like.
You and your friends may be interested in this offer. MySpace plays havoc with links but it seems to work ok if you open it in a new tab. http://www. murkydepths. com/cartsub-whitechapel. php And don't forget to scroll down when you get there - there may be another surprise!
Hiya Ed, Hope all's good. Appreciate you won't be able to make the launch but it'd be cool if you could have a listen to the new tracks when they're up x
"He Bought Me a Soda and He Triued to Molest Me in a Parking Lot!"
Volume 2!
Last year the first volume of this "collection of illustrations inspired by lyrics from those songs that get stuck in your head all day" was a great success and people had a lot of fun interpreting their favourite lyrics!
You can download the first volume as a free pdf here:

So the time seemed ripe for a Volume 2!
The specs are the same; artwork should be A5 300 dpi. As well as a limited edition artbook of the project there will also be another free pdf of the book, which has been downloaded by a good thousand people so far.
So give vent to those earworms and get sending those submissions to the contact details on this page:

I'm really looking forward to seeing this years entries!
Hullo my friend, I hope you are well and enjoying lots of success. Please remember to stay healthy and eat plenty of vegetables. They are nature's gift to any organism with a mouth. See you soon my friend, Reuben. PS: Would you like to come around to my burrow for carrot soup on Friday afternoon?

Nice looking kitty on your profile shot!! S/he looks so lovely and adorable and warm and kind-hearted, just like my Lemon Faced Luther. Only yours looks more orange-like than lemonish. Purrr purr, sweet little feline!
Oh yes, and thankyou for your kind words about my poetry!! Its true, I am perhaps the greatest living poet in Gosnells. I have been called the William Wordsworth of Gosnells. Its great to hear you have been walking around the Lake District! that must have been very artistically inspiring. I have never been to the Lake District, but I do get inspiration by walking around the Crazy Clarks carpark. Which is not the same thing I know, as there are probably more flowers and things like that in the Lake District. And lakes as well. There are lakes in the carpark, but they are mostly lakes of vomit. Actually, the area has often been called the Broken Glass District. And as I have said, I am currently the only major poet operating in this area. One day I may meet a bogan Keats, an ocker Shelley, or a Southern Western Australian Suburban Sir. Walter Scott, and I will not be the loneliest poet in Gosnells, but sadly I doubt it. In the meantime, I continue to Wander Lonely As A Boy Trapped In Gosnells (one of the many titles of my breathtakingly haunting poems.)
Hullo there! I'm fine thankyou, rocking out as usual!! That stupid bunny rabbit has gone AWOL again, off looking for his stupid vegetables again no doubt. I'm glad because I find him and his silly vegetable obsession rather annoying. But I will tell him to contact you soon.
.....courgette, I say zucchini, It’s just a small difference, it’s very teeny you say zucchini, I say courgette please let’s not argue, please let’s not sweat Please let’s just eat it because I can’t wait Zucchinis, courgettes, I think they’re both GREAT!!!
WOW!! Reading my own poem has reminded me how great zucchinis are AGAIN and I'm all hungry once again, I'm going out to eat every single one in the entire state of Western Australia! Go well my fellow vegetable lover Reuben
OH!!! ZUCCHINI!! I LOVE ZUCCHINI! Sorry, I got confused because I live in Australia. You reminded me how much I love Zucchini, I forgot to eat them for a long time. Since you reminded me, I went outside and cleared every single garden of all its zucchinis/courgettes in a fifty mile radius. Then I sat down and composed this brilliant poem about how great Zucchinis or Courgettes are. Of course it's a brilliant poem, that goes without saying, cos after all, it was written by ME.
Ode To The Zucchini by Reuben
i’ll write a poem and i’ll try to rhyme it about the greatest food that grows in a temperate climate people think you’re a vegetable, but you’re actually a fruit with your little flower you look quite cute zucchini or courgette, my favourite squash you are a delicacy that is not too posh when next to a cucumber you are often overlooked but you are so much better even when cooked you can also be fried, steamed,boiled, grilled or stuffed people say theres too many of you but I can’t get enough on the list of Britain's favourite culinary vegetable you are ranked number ten i’ll list your virtues again and again in salads, in Thai food or in a souffle I could stuff you into my face everyday when cooked for too long you become rather gooey but that is alright if I’m making ratatouille. zucchini, courgette, whatever you name it if a meal doesn’t work you know you can’t blame it if something went wrong it must be the basil zucchinis are great and never cause any hassle whether they’re yellowish, whether they’re greeny, whether they’re called a courgette or zucchini they are the subject of this great song i have heard they can grow three feet long three feet long! imagine that! you could eat it for days and not stop to chat whatever you call it depends on how you’re feeling whether you’re in Australia, the U.K. or New Zealand but whatever you call it just doesn’t matter As long as it’s served on a plate or a platter you say cou
What is a corget sir? Is is a vegetable I have not eaten yet? Can such a thing exist?? It sounds like a cross between a corgi and a cigarette. But I would prefer it was a vegetable whatever it is. No way am I putting some weird dog/cigarette hybrid mutant thingy in my mouth. Especially if I became addicted and had to go onto the patches. Give me a nice carrot instead any day sir.
Hullo Mr. Scott! Thankyou for your lovely birthday wishes. Very kind of you to think about a little mammal like me on my birthday. I am quite happy to puncture pimples, as long as they are metaphorical ones of course. What is your favourite vegetable in the whole world?
Hullo sir. Sorry I haven't visited for a long time. I met Prince Charles once, he was outside my burrow talking to my carrot patch. I told him to get lost. Loon. I don't need royals coming round trying to confabulate with my vegetables. Recently I went to an art gallery in L.A. where they have important and deeply meaningful art. Unfortunately there was a snobby art expert crocodile there. I hope you are well! Love Reuben X
