Rainy Day Man 8, Violins, Frankenstein
Rainy Day Man 8 is in the planning stages. well, i say planning stages, the only things i plan are the villians and about a one sentence overview. i can reveal some details - it wont be told by Hugh Buxton-Wells! it will feature a past villian! and a new one!
listening to violin string quartet covers of famous songs. exceptionally good. might bring my violin up to liverpool, to be more Sherlock Holmes-like.
speaking of Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Hawking) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Dexter) are in Danny Boyle's Frankenstein, a stage production where they switch between the roles of Frankenstein and the monster each night. It will be showing in cinemas on the 17th March, and ive heard excellent reviews. here is a trailer (courtesy of youtube): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FEakgJj-uA&feature=player_embedded
have a fun few days!

Florence Knight, writing, and an apology
hello!
first of all, sorry if you find yourself in a Rainy Day Man story. i frequently use characteristics from my friends that i find interesting in rainy day man characters. hopefully no one minds.
designs for Florence Knight, the Rainy Day Man's love interest in the current block of stories, are nearly done. soon we'll have our first image of her in all her big hair-ed glory! big hair is so much fun to draw. also, i will try and put up some other doodles of caracters, new and old.
work is done and writing has rocketed full steam ahead on rainy day man seven. just written a life-changing event for Hugh Buxton-Wells. not wanting to sound snobbish or uppity or anything, but i think im improving!
na-night everyone!

Mark Gatiss, the Brigadeer, Sheridan Frogcott
hello!
First of all, the sad news that Nicolas Courtney, best known as Brigadear Lethbridge-Stewart, died yesterday, aged 81. you can read more about it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12549622
Bieng a massive Mark Gatiss fan, I decided that I will reread the Lucifer Box Trilogy every year. its fair to say that without Mark Gatiss, there would be no Rainy day Man. the Rainy Day Man stories are shamelessly based on the writing style in the Lucifer Box trilogy. hope that Mark Gatiss isn't to angry about it.
the main sotryline in this collection of Rainy Day Man stories will involve the Villainous Sheridan Frogcott, who is set to appear in the fourth story, but has already been mentioned before in the first collection story "Irwin". Also, Readers of the stories will hopefully be pleased to know that the unanswered questions from the first collection will be tied up in the third and last stories. not yet decided if this collection will have five stories or six.
hope to hear from you soon!
