Welcome one and all to the prestigious 8th annual Louis' Tea Charts and Statistics Extravaganza! Yes, it's that time of year again! It's only a matter of time until it's declared as a National holiday!

The grand total of cups of tea drunk in 2011 is 1286. Despite the previous year's low total, 2011 had the highest amount recorded since records began. You would have thought that this would be cause for celebration; but sadly, the database brought to light some saddening news.

During the year there was tea brewed - by my own hand no less - that was left, forgotten about; only to be discovered later in the day… stone cold. This was extremely irresponsible of me and I'm ashamed to say that this happened not once, but on two separate occasions. Therefore, it's been decided that that this year's Tea Charts and Statistics Extravaganza will stand as a memorial to those two cups of tea that were unable to fulfil their destiny.

Wishing everybody a very Happy Christmas!

Thank you to those of you that followed my "Magically Craptacular Advent Calendar" on twitter! You can view the calendar in it's entirety by clicking here!

Oh hai! I heard that you like cute stuff?!

This is a little something that I've been working on for a while. It's been a fun little distraction in-between working on my game and moving house. Ever since I got my Cintiq I've wanted to try making something "painty", it's just as much fun as I imagined!

It's an original character, but there's no further background apart from it's what popped into my head at the time. The pixie girl's named Etty though.

A quick little comic strip that I posted to Twitter to commemorate my 1000th cup of tea of the year.

Fan-art of Princess Rosalina and Princess Shokora as featured in Nintendo games.

After my last Beano related post, it didn't seem right to leave the Dandy out in the cold! So it resulted in me drawing this, quite possibly the strangest piece of fan-art I've ever made. I'm not affiliated with the comic or anything, so don't worry - Dan's masculinity is safe!

My rendition of some special comic characters that I grew up with. It's probably scandalous to deviate away from their original designs as much as I did, but just think of this as my personal tribute!

From left to right and top to bottom: Dennis the Menace, Ivy the Terrible, Minnie the Minx, Pansy Potter, Roger the Dodger and Billy Whizz.

The British comic industry is slowly dwindling away which is just heartbreaking; so if you live in the UK, do try your best to buy a copy of the Beano and the Dandy whenever you can. You'll find that that they're just as good as ever!

There's a guest comic drawn by yours truly over at The Carrotty Kid web site at the moment! The Carrotty Kid is a wonderfully crisp creation devised by Andy Fanton. He's a professional artist, and when he's not drawing anthropomorphic vegetables you'll find him drawing brilliant comics for The Dandy! Go visit his personal web site and say hello!
