Ninja Care Home - Situations Vacant

Yes, I'm going to be doing a Death Ninja mini comic, for the Inverness Hi-Ex comics festival!

Death Ninja being the character that featured in the SW7 Photostory 'Ninja Care Home'. I've been meaning to do this for a while, as it was something both I and Death Ninja enjoyed immensely and I felt the strip had more potential.

If anyone would like to appear in the strip as one of the care workers, they should send me a passport style photograph of themselves (any picture of you looking forwards will do at a pinch)and I'll try and fit you in, by some clever means I won't reveal just yet. First come, first served. But, if I get more than I want, I'll hold the images for any future strips.

All the best

Goodbye to Ray

The latest edition of Solar Wind, the Solar Wind Summer Special is out now, the biggest and (dare I say it) best issue we have produced to date, weighing in at a daunting 68 pages of retro comic fun.

It is also the last issue.

It's been a fantastic and sometimes fraught journey, but it's time to say goodbye to Cosmic Ray and his loyal Androits and Drones. Trying to put out two comics, OVS once a year and Solar Wind twice annually has proved to be beyond my resources, and Solar Wind has now finished.

But, if it has a legacy, then it's that it has encouraged lots of people who perhaps wouldn't have ever made their own comic to go off an do just that. In total there were 11 issues of Solar Wind, Sunny and Big War comic, totally nearly 600 pages of material and I hope you've been entertained along the way.

We've won awards and rave reviews, we've had good times and bad, but this really is, Goodbye Ray.

Many thanks to everyone involved over the years, but especially to Gareth Whitty, who has been willing to listen to my rantings, ravings and ramblings and without whom there would never have been a Solar Wind.

For the last time...

Stay Cosmic!

Website Jiggery Pokery

Hello all!

I've decided to try and make a real effort with the website for a change. These are familiar words of course, not just on the Omnivistascope website, but countless semi-derelict websites currently languishing across webspace.

To this end I hope to be posting semi-regular news items and thoughts as blogs. However, if I slip for more than a month you have permission to send me a pleasantly harrassing e-mail :)


All the best
