A new blog and a new Klaus comic
I've decided on a fresh start with a new blog - with a name I don't have to explain/justify (as it's my own). So it would be great if you could follow www.richard-short.blogspot.com and I will try and update it regularly to make it worth you moving.
Thank you,
Richard

A few things of note (to me)
I moved to London in April and I don't yet have a working scanner so I can't show much new drawing. But I've recently contributed six Klaus/Otto pages to the next Two Fast Colour anthology, which can be followed on their new tumblr page. I think this one will have quite a bit about Toulouse comics in it.
Thanks also to Meathaus for putting some of my work on their site.

Influence, conscious and otherwise.
I started drawing 'Klaus' in or around October 2009, around the same time I found out about Philip Guston, in particular his later cartoonish work. I know that Guston is generally well known, and well known among cartoonists (I think a Guston character is among the population of Michael DeForge's cartoon-hell in Lose #1 (?)), but I'd not come across his work until late.
I also really like Shunji Sonoyama's drawings. I've been reading Frederik L. Schodt's book "Manga! Manga!" recently and I'm sure that's the first time I've seen Sonoyama's work. There's not a lot of Sonoyama on the internet, or I haven't been very good at finding it. I'd also like to see more of Yoshiko Tsuchida and Sampei Sato.
