Ah, my first Muppet Show comic :)

What I particularly loved about it was how much it became Janice’s story. How she came to love music and find a reason to grow up.

I’d still love to write and draw Muppet Alice in Wonderland one day and have Skeeter be the star :)

Happy 60th Anniversary to Walt Disney’s Peter Pan! Here’s our favorite take on the beloved classic: BOOM! Studios 4-issue comic arc “Muppet Peter Pan” written by Grace Randolph and illustrated by Amy Mebberson!

ECCC commission pre-orders are now open!

Emerald City Comic Con is March 1-3 in Seattle with Amy Mebberson and I in Artist Alley at table B-04. We will have our sketchbooks, comics original art and we’ll be taking fresh commission lists each morning.

If you don’t think you can make it to our table first thing, the best way to get the original piece of your choosing is to order one here for pickup at the con. All pieces are on 9”x12” bristol board starting at $60 per character in full color. You can email me with your requests here.

*Please note, because of scheduling, Amy is not doing any preorder commissions at this time.

I welcome your mashup challenges. Release the hounds!

Yep, James is now taking preorders for ECCC commissions, so drop him a line and get in. Emerald City is always a very busy con for us, so ordering art in advance is always a good idea if you can :)

Please note: ONLY JAMES, not me. He’s had several emails asking for Amy commissions, but I am not open for pre-orders. Unfortunately, deadline crunches have not left me with any time to take pre-commissions. I will still be taking them at the con itself every day, just none in advance. So please come by our table B04 and ask :)

Meet Squeak and Boo!, a new pilot now airing on Disney Jnr Australia. Created, written, directed and co-produced by none other than my younger sister, Lyndal Mebberson - a seasoned veteran in children’s tv production (she’s worked for Disney, SBS and the BBC as well as being a past Tropfest winner).

She and her partner have created an adorable little puppet show starring two piglets and their best friend Dave, a big ol’ wombat.

Character designs were by me and Silvani (Dave started out as a guinea pig instead of a wombat, but James’ initial designs remain too screamingly adorable to not share). Oh, and Dave is voiced by my younger brother John, an active community radio talk host :)

I’d love to do picture books of these little dickenses. Disney Publishing, drop us a line :)

Let Me Be Good to You

Take a good look folks, I know not when Great Mouse Detective may inspire fanart from me again ;) This was actually inspired by Melissa Manchester’s tour-de-force singing on this. One period makeover later and.. eh. It was fun :)

Fa Mulan - farmer’s daughter, outdoorsy, uninterested in feminine or domestic pursuits, loves her dad, lateral thinker, saviour of China.

(and yes, she looks ‘pretty’ here, but even a farm girl can enjoy washing her face and wearing something nice now and again. Point is, Mulan is a humble girl and wouldn’t dress in gold robes meant for royalty)
