Posh Internet Gentleman #2: Why I do believe it is a new title banner.
Posh Internet Gentleman #1: New title banner? With an image?
Posh Internet Gentleman #2: The very same. Spiffing, what.
Posh Internet Gentleman #1: Yes. Bully!
If the seeing-balls in your head haven't given it away, then those fine gentleman probably have. Yes readers that is a shiny, new title banner. How new? Brand spanking new!
As some of you more long-term readers may know (aka Team Superfly) I have dabbled with a doodle now and then. What's more you'll know that I lack the necessary skill and fancy-pants beret to be an artist. So where did this quality doodle originate from? What magics did I invoke to acquire such talent? Well let me tell you a little story. It all started in a rain soaked field in Derby...
...I awoke to stale air and a mesh cocoon. To my half open eyes and constricted limbs my world was naught but misty lime green. Gradually I unzipped my sleeping bag as the interior of my tent came into focus. Download Festival 2011 was in full swing all around me as the muffled laughs and greetings seeped into my fabric room in the field. The pocket of space I inhabited was quickly heating up in the morning sun, prompting me to scrabble for the doorway amidst my strewn belongings. The surrounding grass my friend and I had tried so hard to defend in favour of our friends had quickly become a nesting ground for more of the tent creatures. All ropes and striking colours. So much for that plan. Little did I know that my fellow defender had gifted some space to friends of his while I drifted amongst the crowds the night before. To my immediate right stood a tent containing two bodies I would spend the rest of the weekend with. Reciting internet jokes (because that's how we roll) between band sets in the arena and swapping stories.
Soon after Download had ended the wonderful world of the book of faces kept me in contact with them. Soon after that one of them showed me what they could do with a pen and paper. Even now she adds drawings and sketches to the internet that make me and a mass of others chuckle. Being the evil genius that I am, I swiftly kidnapped her talent for my own use.
Ladies and gentlegeeks of the world wide web, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the new illustrator for My Mind Wanders. The doodling, zombie-killing, goth-living, snuggie-wearing girl of the hour, Miss Abbie Rial!
Abbie is going to be adding some much needed colour and style to kabamf.com by way of pictures to accompany the odd post. I'll spin the words and she'll dish out some magic with her pens. For now I'll leave it to her to explain a bit more about herself.
Abbie
"Now then, me lovelies! I’m Abbie, 19 years young, and I’m an Animation Student. Illustration has always been my passion, ever since I was a wee nipper, and I love coming up with, and drawing, Graphic Novels and short comics in my spare time. Mr. Kabamf and I met at Download 2011, amidst the legend that was: Black Camp: Camp Titty-kaka (A.K.A. Camp Coors Light, Nascar, Billy-Bob, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, HOOOOO-WEEEEEE!). He and our mate Rich rescued me and the other half from certain booze related trolley breaking disaster. Since then, I have forever become his sister-mother-cousin-yee-haw. Good times shall be had here, and I hope you enjoy my nonsensical doodles!"
So stay tuned you net surfers, you blog readers, you movers and shakers all. The fastest pen in the North is in town. (I'm not kidding either; that title banner was drawn up and scanned in about 5 minutes!)
