Ahoy There! Some call me Larkison, but I also go by Joe, Edward, Stump and, rarely, 'Dedraw'. I wear many hats...
Well, ok, not really, just this cool brown one.
I'm your usual geek wanting to be a cartoonist/animator/games designer/avenger of the night, etc. I like to draw in a minimalist style and so have worked on a number of loony comics, two of which you can see here online!
At the moment I am a B-tech Graphic Design student (4th year!) as this means that I choose where to put my studies, I have decided upon exploring video games as an interactive medium that could, hopefully, affect the player psychologically in a positive manner! Other than that I enjoy playing video games (Mostly nintendo), drawing/reading comics, watching cartoons, day dreaming, and just generally acting on a whimsy!
Tools
Pencil, Ink, Illustrator, photoshop... usually in that order.

Wahey! Joyous year of newness to you as well!
haha thank you (^ o ^) God Bless You Always :D (^__^)
Thank yer kindly!
Thanks for subbing back! X3 I'm looking forward to taking the time to read your comics!
Thanks! Really looking forward to reading your comics, too! From what I've seen so far it looks like a ton of fun!
Thanks for subscribing to the Standard format Oops series too. Do you have a preference reading a vertically formatted comic or a standard print format comic?
Sure! I liked the extra information that was in the standard format (You know, like about why Oops doesn't talk and where Plague came from, etc.) and I think it looks good with it's format put together as if I was reading the pages of a comic book especially since that allows you to better express how the actions come together through the positioning of the frames. (You know, it give you a little more freedom, I think)
Though with that in mind it's worth noting that I read these comics off my laptop and not a smart phone as I am told many readers around here do and while I think the standard format is better I still think that you've done the comics that are in the vertical format exceptionally well!

Thanks a lot. Yeah, my husband and I create our comic with print in mind first. We go to conventions with our printed books. So for Tapastic, I go back and rearrange the panels for vertical format. You're right, it's not always a perfect transition between the two formats, especially with splash pages. I have to be creative with those. ;)
I actually made the two different Oops series on accident, when I first started on Tapastic. I thought, with Tapastic's setup, making each issue it's own series was the best way to go, only to find out later reader would have to resubscribe with that method. I'd really like to add issues 1 and 2 to the other vertically formatted series, but I can't publish pages later than the current date. Maybe one day Tapastic will fix that so creators have more control over the organization of posted pages.

Well, it's cool that you get to print it out and take them to conventions and it's a really well done series! Have the two of you done any comics before Oops?
I know the feeling. :/ You'd think that being able to change around the orders that the pages appear would be simple enough. They probably just haven't thought of it. That said, I find the tapastic staff are really approachable and they're alway working on the site. It's probably a feature that we could suggest to them if it hasn't been already!
Otherwise, if you want you could probably post the first 2 issues' vertical format as another series. It wouldn't really help with the resubscribing or you know... anything, but you'd be able to call it "Oops Origins" which sounds AWESOME. XD

Thanks! Keep making awesome comics yourself! (Really like the snail direction, by the way.Why don't MMOs ever offer this race? Do they not understand us gamer's leaf munching needs?)
yes it's too limited! snails should definitely be playable characters
In this comic, Yulius has just stared at my computer screen, on my computer screen is this comic of Yulius staring at my computer screen.
Yulius! WHAT HORRIBLE PARADOX HAVE YOU CREATED?! D8
Also, thanks a tonne! Loving the comics, I especially like your art style!
