5th-November-2007

The Social Outcasts are currently lost in the fog, but fear not they will be back in a couple of weeks continuing their search for Mushrooms.

Meanwhile Im in the process of planning many many super secret projects some I will reveal very soon and some will be announced early next year

Also I will be taking pre-orders for the Rhasta Clawz poster, my alternative crimbo, as I don't celebrate the dang xmas thingy not been a commercial or religious person. But what i hear you cry your selling a poster that's commercial. Yes yes but it's not exploting christmas as I don't celebrate it.

Why not try a Zenmas this year and go check out Ad Busters website

Peaceout Yo!

Hopefully there won't be such a big gap in updates from now on. This page has been sitting on my mac for a few weeks I just haven't had the time to get it coloured and posted.
The next 3 pages are all pencilled and just need inking and colouring, so I may possibly do another update this week.
In other news Ive been painting up Nick's Pizza Shop in Whitby, you can follow the project progress on my myspace page and it will be all archived soon on the Pizza Shop website Food 2 Go!
Also I have the collaboration I did as part of the MonstersMonsters exhibition 'This is for you'which is on display in the Studio 4 Gallery at the Custard Factory in Birmingham which is on until the end of the week. You can go check the photos out here my piece is the skateboard!

Polyrhythm Addicts- Break Glass…

11th- June- 2007

This weeks strip is from a few years ago and was originally a mini comic I gave out free at festivals around 2005.
Now the reason I'm putting up an old comic is because well firstly you haven't seen it unless you got the mini comic from me and secondly I don’t have a new Social Outcasts comic to put online yet, this is because I'm working on the cross over of the summer that people will be talking about for decades to come. Why it is The Social Outcasts and Astounding Ganjaman cross over.

Also check out more comicy goodness by myself Hitz From The Bong can be found at my new blog spot site and will update regularly there. Once the stndfish.com site is launched HFTB will be found there!!!
Audio Addictz is the new monthly comic that will appear in the Link magazine replacing the Trez Amigoz (don’t worry the Trez Amigoz will be back at some point they ain't gone!).
The Audio Addictz strip can be found online at the Audio Addictz website which is an online radio station for psy trance so go read the comic and listen to the radio station.

Peaceout Yo!

Rich

25th- June- 2007

Too busy watching Naruto Shippuuden to listen to music!

7th- May- 2007

This weeks strip sees the aftermath of the Hyper Galactic Super Market arc and also has some plot threads that will setup many big story arcs for the future!

Also the arch nemesis of The Social Outcasts makes his first and defiantly not last appearance.

Be warned the Phat Cat King Phatous Ganut Katous Katusan has his sights set on Drazo 1 and taking The Outcasts planetoid for himself!
The Comic Expo is also on this weekend unfortunately Kel and myself won't be there as we cant afford to get there, buy comics etc.

It really sucks as this is the first year we won't be there with Linoleum Press and the Comic Jam.
However I'm off to the Lake District for the weekend for a big up massive art jam and get together with the Ghetto Method crewz and a Comic Jam will be happening also.
So depending on what time and day I get back the strip will possibly be up on Monday plus there will be loads of cooley pics up from the weekend also.

Peaceout Yo!

7th- March- 2007

I didn’t get back until late Monday evening as I was in Newcastle all weekend chilling with Sandy and the Ghetto Method crew and that’s the reason the comics only just up now.

An eventful weekend to say the least.
Dead Pool night on the Saturday rocked I made a mashup of visuals and some mini comics that went down a storm.
Shout outs to Mr Bird our conversation(s) sparked an idea for a comic strip!!!

Look out for that in the Ghetto Method Magazine that will be at the Next Dead Pool night.

2 floors of dope beatz by Mudfoot, Mr Bird, Notorious D.A.V.E, Raj, Plus 8 and Vandetta, Urban Geisha, Fridge and loads more Ghetto Methoders.
Shame the night was cut short due to violence due to Raj playing some old skool Hip-Hop!!! Seriously it creates blood on the dance floor!!!!

Coming back on the Monday I got off the train in Darlington to find there was no power at all so I missed the train back to the Shire from Middlesbrough due to the trains been late at Darlington. So once I got into Middlesbrough I had to wait 4 hours until the next train and so I took up residents in the waiting room and slept!!!!
All the pics from Dead Pool are here

Also check out my new look myspace page I will be adding new pages and artwork every few days!!!

Trez Amigoz strip will be online later this evening and is based on the conversation Mr Bird and myself tried to have on Saturday

5th- February- 2007

So this is the strip that should have been up last week but illness got the better of me and Ive done nothing but sleep and watch insane amounts of anime such as Noein and Fantastic Children.

Ive put the Social Shortz comics on hold until I get sometime to plan them properly.
Check back next week for an awesome on going competition.

Finally 4Heros much anticipated album is out entitled Play with the changes I only just got it the other day due to it been a delayed mp3 release compared to the cd release on 29th January.

Marc Mac and Dego have made Play with the Changes along with the vocal talents of Ursula Rucker, Darien Brockington, Phonte, Jack davey, Lady Alma, Terry Devos, Bembe Segue, Kaidi Tatham, Larry Mizell, Talita Long, Lady Alma, Face, Jody Watley and Carina Andersson. You know it’s a good album when you want to play it over again after just listening to it.

Every track is so different something Im never going to get sick of. The cover version of Stevie Wonders Superwoman is a wicked track with Terry Devos.
Album of the year for me…….bring on Ben Westbeechs album next please!!!

Welcome to the new look Social Outcasts site peeps!

Things have been real Ectic here of late but I will be back to the regular weekly(ish) schedule after several months of not updating the site! Due to the fact I've been building the awesomely dopetasicalar Ectic Shortys site with my good hombre Dale. So if your a surfer then go check out the sweet boards and even if your not go anyway! You can buy my artwork on a surf board what more incentive do you need!!!!

This weekend I will be at the Whitby Musicport festival doing a Live Art show and running the Comic Jam. If by chance your there come along and say hello, and maybe put down a panel for the Comic Jam!

On the 28th Kel and my phunky self will be crusing over to the Lancaster Comic Show. Where we will be selling many fine comics at the Linoleum Press table and also running the Comic Jam. Ant who organised the Lancaster Comic Show has sorted out some wicked prizes so its well worth adding a panel for the chance of getting something cool!

Big props go out to my main man Lorenzo over at Blink Twice for his kind words about The Social Outcasts Comic Expo strip, in which Malcolm and the Blink Twice Posse appear. Click here to read it.
