What’s the book all about? Check out the Blurb below!

“A survey of a wicked, irreverent, serious, harmful, cruel and enjoyable (for some) side of human civilization. Including quotes on lies and lying (good, bad and indifferent) from famous people who should know better.

Recent research has discovered possibly connections with our frontal-brain cell structures and our ability to lie well, giving a whole new series of answers to the question, Why do we lie? and more importantly Why Do We Lie To Ourselves?

An easy read, amusing look at the bedrock of civilization.

Fully illustrated by the UK Based Freelance Illustrator, Cartoonist, Artist & Animator, Calvin Innes.”

Corey Breens Supergirl!

I’ve been a fan of Corey Breen’s work for some time so when I won an original illustration from him last week I was pretty damn pleased to say the least! In a stroke of luck I became Corey Breen’s 200th follower on Twitter, and so he put together a fantastic illustration for me of Supergirl. The guy’s illustration style is awesome and the picture is of course going to take it’s place on my office/studio wall for all to see. You can follow all of Corey Breen’s latest updates on Twitter by clicking here…. www.twitter.com/CjB_Productions

Cheers again for the picture!!!

Win A Corset!!!

Ok I know, this isn’t the sort of thing I usually blog about but in this case I’m making an exception. Partly because I think the prize on offer is great, and anyone looking for a corset for themselves or their partner should enter… and partly because the prize on offer is from Lady Waisted Corsets, which happens to be my fiancées company!

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning a Lady Waisted corset worth £200 is follow Lady Waisted on Twitter or Facebook (both will give you two chances of winning) and that’s it! A random winner will be picked at the end of March and announced on the 5th of April!

Good Luck!

Madge’s Vadge Unleashed On The World!

The much anticipated Madge’s Vadge has now been unleashed on the world. A adult comic book and website, aimed purely for those with a puerile, childish, sick and twisted sense of humour (right up my street), Madge’s Vadge follows the exploits of a certain body part who has split from her celebrity ‘parent’ to embark on a solo career. Believing that she is in fact the reason behind the aging singers fame, she releases her own album of covers (with a twist) and embarks on a world tour (The Flash The Gash Tour). Managed by her sleazy and unscrupulous manager Mike Hunt, Madge’s Vadge is sure to become a pop icon in her own right.

You can follow all of Madge’s Vadge’s latest exploits at her website www.madgesvadge.com, on her blog www.madgesvadge.com/blog or why not see what she’s been up to on Twitter or Facebook.

Remember, this one aint for kids!!! Or the easily offended!!! You have been warned!

Calvin on Callous?

Yes indeed, one of my favourite web-comics out there, Callous Comics has a great strip up (where I’m credited as co-writer). After a rather weird and surreal conversation with Carlo Jose San Juan, who writes the strip this little gem popped up! While this is my personal favourite Callous Comic strip (for obvious reasons) the rest of the strips up on The Callous Website are equally brilliant! Head over there now to view the huge library of comic strips and meet the stars of the strip, Rianne Nicah, Cal Duck, Aimee N. Queens, and the rest…..

Visit the Callous website! Follow Rianne, a struggling new physician, who braves the world with her guardian duck, Cal Duck, and his on-the-job mentors! Updated Daily!

Busy couple of weeks

The next few weeks are going to get pretty busy in the land of Calvin. I have three big launches coming up in March, beginning with Madge’s Vadge on the 1st. This project is definitely not one for kids… Or anyone who is easily offended for that matter. If on the other hand you find childish, purile, often sick and offensive things funny (which I do) pop along to www.madgesvadge.com and see what’s on offer!
Shortly after MV, one of my new comic book titles will be launched. Billy Bob Cletis Jr is a superhero story with a difference. The actual story line is still under wraps, but judging from the feedback I’ve been getting, and the interest the comic is gaining, it’s going to be a fun one to be working on. BBCJr is written, illustrated and coloured entirely by me at the moment, so one issue per month will be released, from My Little Big Town Comics.
And finally, the much anticipated LORBS comic will be released at the end of March (subject to change). You only need to read the rest of my blog to find out more about The League Of Really Bad Superheroes. You can also check out the new LORBS website at www.lorbs.com
