The new website is up and running so all future updates and comics can be found there. Thanks for your readership, it is very much appreciated.

Oct-Sober? Not Likely

Head over to my new page at www.HighscoreKid.com the updates here won't continue for very long.

Everyone Has That One Mate

Last Friday Night

True story, I have these photos on my phone.

Sad Bags

Misplaced

Don't worry mum, I got it back.

Time For A Change

It's been over two years since I started this blog and I've decided to start doing something slightly more worthwhile than just cataloging my life. To that effect I have started working towards making Highscore Kid into a proper story. I can't really say much more than that at this point because it's VERY work-in-progress but I'd like to get some input from those who read my comics.

Here are some character designs I sketched up today. They could be the main character's friends, rivals, or love-interests. Let me know which ones you like, whose hair is the coolest, which one reminds you of your cousin's landlord, whatever. Any advice you can give will only serve to make the comic that much better when I finally make the transition. All your comments and criticisms are welcome.

Act II

So, it's the final morning of PAX. I've only got one day left to soak up as much nerdery as possible before it's all GONE! For a whole nother year!

Anyway, highlights from day two were; the Live DnD, where Acquisitions Incorporated fought lizardmen, featuring awesome animations by Kris Straub; catching the Assassin's Creed 3 demo, with hilarious narration by a Frag-Doll to the tune of, "Oh, he's all like WTFLOL" when a redcoat got stabbed in the face; and dinner at the Elephant & Castle, not PAX related I know but it was freakin' GOOD.


I bought and ate many cookies, purely for charity, over the first two days. The wookie-balls were my favourite.

Here are some lovely ladies with impressive crafting abilities.

I always find it funny how everyone wants to take photos but they're all afraid to ask. I know this because as Victor and I are walking around I'll go up to these cosplayers, who are just chilling out, and say, "Hey, you mind if I take a photo?" And as soon as we get our camera out and they pull a pose, all these other people who've been milling about grab their cameras like, "Finally!"
It's also pretty funny, because I like to be IN my photos, so inevitably I'm gonna show up in all these stranger's albums.

Also, one final word. PAX Australia is a thing.

Loot Acquired

Well, that's day one of PAX done. Almost all of my weekends objectives have already been met.

-Take photos of cosplay girls for Blake? Check.
-Find Dodger and gain photographic evidence for Wayne? Check.
-Purchase the IKFMFRPGCR book for myself, and an extra one for Chris? Check.

Looks like I've got the rest of the weekend off...

The coveted Iron Kingdoms book.

Some very interesting people attending this year... She doesn't look impressed.

Off I Go Then

Here we go again. In about 5 hours time I shall be airborne and on route to LA. I've packed as lightly as I usually do. These bags are small and still only half full. Oh well more room for PH4T L00TZ!

I was feeling a little bad about not having any drawings for y'all. I decided that some photographic documentation of this voyage will have to suffice. So get used to seeing my normal, un-caricatured, disturbingly realistic facial structures. At least this time I have a dedicated cameraman with me (Victor) so I don't have to grab people bodily from the streaming crowds and coerce them to aid.

So, Watch out for increased update activity this coming week.

This Is Not A Comic

So, I'm heading off to PAX again this year. It's gonna be another massive transcontinental pilgrimage for the Highscore Kid. Hopefully I remember to bring all my chargers this time, amirite?
I'm not quite sure what's going to happen with the blog while I'm away. You see, my usual stand in illustrator, Victor, is joining me on my journey this year. So there's no one I know personally who can fill in! Egads!
I'll have to ponder this some more...

Catchy As Hell

Singing Dogs

Is It Crunch Time Yet?

Then I remembered that I'm awesome.

In other amazing news, the 15th of August marks my Highscore Kid anniversary! I've now been drawing for your viewing displeasure and my own personal record-keeping for 2 whole years. As always, thanks for reading and sharing in my visual rambling.

Birthday Monkey

So, the comic is late this weekend. And you'd be quite right in saying that I phoned it in pretty hard. But it's my brother's birthday today so I've been out of town visiting the family. His requested drawing was a monkey making a sandwich so... Here it is.
