Face to Face With Warden James
As you may remember I created the DING! image, inspired by Jonny Coyne as Warden James and Jo from Inside Alcatraz.

Jo took this one step further and asked me to create a poster sized version that she could print out and present to Jonny and to others that wanted one. So at Wonder con 2012 this picture was taken of Jonny holding himself :-)

The picture was taken and tweeted by Steve Lilien @StevenLilien which made the whole experience even more special for me.

Big thanks again to Jo for arranging this, Jonny for being fantastic as the Warden and the whole of the Alcatraz cast and crew for all their efforts on the show.

Enjoy the season 1 finale this Monday in the US and see you next year for the next season :-)


I also created some mobile phone versions and I have now updated these to the final image that was used for the picture.

Mr Papaya Competition

Mr Papaya

Ding ! Alcatraz Warden James
Warden Edwin James is fast becoming one of the best characters on the Fox TV show Alcatraz.

Jo from the Inside Alcatraz blog mentioned, in her writeup for the episode Johnny McKee, that she would really like an image of the warden saying Ding as he had said this several times in the episode.

So in a moment of late night inspiration I created this image for Jo, based of course on the Shepard Fairey Hope poster image.

When Jo retweeted the picture I got several comments including one from Michael Eslinger (@Monteray_Mike), who is a real life expert on Alcatraz, saying he had used it as a phone background.

So what I did was to create some versions of the image specifically for a few different mobile phone screens.

Finally a few hours later Jonny Coyne (@JonnyCoyneActor), who plays Warden Tiller on the show tweeted back to say, what else but - "Ding, Ding, Ding !"
Bishops Hot Cinnamon Breakfast Cocktail
Walter Bishop's new recipe, probably needs more butter !

Fringe Icons
The good folk at MoreThanOneOfEverything.net/ have been running a campaign to persuade the US TV networks that Fringe is a fantastic show and needs a fifth season.

To that end a series of successful social media events have been arranged and to help out I have created a few sets of icons that people can use to show their support.

Qwertee 60
A few days ago, my Fringe, Reiden Lake Telecom design was accepted by Qwertee.com

That means that in little over a year I have had 60 designs accepted by them

Now all I need you to do is vote for the 59 designs that have not been printed by Qwertee !
Reiden Lake Telecom
Reiden Lake seems to be the center of the Fringe events, so where better to set up a telecoms company by the observers who move through univereses like a hot knife through butter.



The symbols are of course from the Observer communication device used to communicate between universes.

I have added this design to the Fringe section of my Cafepress store

Snips

The facial markings combined with the Jedi symbol seemed to be the perfect fit for a t-shirt design.

Resistance, the new DALEK drink


DALEKs don't do drink adverts, but if they did.....

This design also looks good in Orange or Yellow

A Mummers Farce


Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire is one of those people that plays will almost certainly be written about.

Yes you are right you do detect a little Monty Python reference in the title and tag line.

You can now vote for this design on Qwertee.com and OtherTees.com
The Detectives

Another new t-shirt design featuring links to Tintin.

I had an idea about a charlie chaplin movie poster then thought that the moustache and bowler hat combination also applies to the two detectives from the Tintin books, so what if they were all in a movie together.

The additional name is Rastapopoulos, who also appears in the books, and in Cigars of the Pharaoh is producing a movie, so it seemed logical for him to produce this as well :-)
Haddock Shipping Company
A new t-shirt design to coincide with the Tintin movie being released around the world, click for more details of the movie

In the books Tintin meets the captain when he is the captain of a merchant ship, so this seemed like a suitable idea for a design.

Click on the image to the right for a slightly larger version, and you can vote for this design on Qwertee.com, Othertee.com and hopefully soon on 4TEE.ES

Laurel and Hardy Dig Doctor Who
The video below is just a fantastic blending of old and new, I've watched it 10 times already and it makes me smile every time I see it.



The video was uploaded by DALEK Thay who is a very funny DALEK to follow on Twitter.
Sport is....
I've added a new design to my Cafepress store, Sport Is Not Just A Load Of... and Sport Is A Load Of, be careful which one you select when you go to buy one

Save Doctor Who Confidential
If you didn't know already the BBC in their infinite wisdom have decided to cancel the companion program to Doctor Who called Doctor Who Confidential.

This show has been a great way to find out what happens behind the scenes and how the show is put together.

It has been essential viewing since Doctor Who was bought back in 2004 and more than entertaining it was educational and sometimes inspirational, so it was a bit of a shock to learn it was being cancelled.

Don't get me wrong I'm not sure I could watch another short excerpt on how the Cybermen are trained to march, but with a few tweaks and possibly a shorter running length it would still make an excellent way to wind down after a mind blowing episode and give the viewer some extra content for a minimal price.

Anyway the point of writing this is that a group of people have got together to create a petition and coordinate the campaign to save the show. Sign up to the petition by clicking here and follow @SaveDWC on Twitter for all the latest news.
