Shane, interviewed for downthetubes last year on the Albion project, says he plans to draw more comic strips this year. “I did a lot of drawing in 2007, but not near enuff drawings in little boxes that tell a story. So far it’s looking good – I’ve secured a coupla tasty comic strip gigs, and there’s promise of more to come.”
