The Al Welch's Bungo Workshop

Hello, everyone. It has been a nice summer, despite the heavy rain, but it was a wonderful summer here in Great Britain, because of the Games of the XXX Olympiad 2012 in London, England. Now, this. Those who want to know why the first episode of the new season of Root Beers haven't came last week, I can tell you. I have a new graphics tablet from Currys/PC World, in Carlisle. I was on holiday with my Mum for eleven days, more on that, later. Anyway, the touch option works alright and so is the mouse option, but it's the pen that didn't work. Also, I misplaced the pen of the Kanvus tablet and can't remember where I put it. But, there we are. Also, schedule for comics may be sacred, due to college work I maybe asked to do. And another thing is this, if you're reading this on FurAffinity, you may well know about the breakdown on the website, due to hardware problems. Personally, I blame that on yiff foxes, if you ask me how that happened. But enough of that problem, my...

Compare and Contrast: by Alexander Elliott-Welch RICHARD WILLIAMS (b. 19/03/1933) and WILL VINTON (b.17/10/1947) ************************************************** INTRODUCTION This essay is to show how similar these two animators were and there are some differences. They both did commercials/advertisements for television, but worked with different projects and different techniques. What was interesting is this: How did Will Vinton make the Raisins? Why did they give an animated short Oscar to a television special by Richard Williams? ************************************************** RICHARD WILLIAMS GENRE: 2D Animation, Comedy, Fantasy, Drama, and Family Born in Toronto, Canada, Richard Williams was encouraged to draw at the age of two by his artistic parents. At the age of fifteen, he withdrew all of his savings and invested them in a journey to the Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California, U.S.A. After that, he was educated at Ontario College of Art and suppl...

Hi, hi. Zis is me. First off, just to let you know that my premium membership on deviantART will expire on Monday 2nd July, but, I'm looking foward to get back to normal, after a six month test, so no worries there. Zirkus Kapers, is halfway printed unfinished and was viewed during a Southampton City College arts show. There was six copies printed in Repographics. Five on display and one to take home with me. Unfortunealy, some fools didn't return two copies during the private viewing. Thank you, wise guys, thanks a bunch. After two more comics, Root Beers will be on break, so I can plan a new summer special, to put up on deviantART and the website, during the London 2012 Summer Olympics Games. And it shall be for real, this time. The summer special will be presented in seventeen daily episodes including a trip to the beach, a look at this year's travel, and a long edition of a Bungoification of "It's a Knockout" (Root Beers Sans Frontieres). As a matter of fa...

Hello, once again. First off, the next Root Beers number won't be on this weekend. Apparently, it was due to my Bamboo tablet being an absolute idiot. On the plus side, I'm getting on very well with my final major project, at Southampton City College. It is 68 pages in total, and I done 26 pages, so far. So, it's 26 pages down and 42 pages to go. Earlier this year, I done a lot of pub sketches at The Duke of Wellington, Southampton, and if I have some time I can show you them. As I were saying, there'll be delays on Root Beers and other stuff. Oh, and also, if you remember on 31st March, Eurokatt asked me to send her birthday wishes to Celine Dion, the winner of Eurovision Song Contest 1988 for Switzerland, on Twitter and guess what? Fourteen people have retweeted that tweet, including the official Eurovision Twitter account! When I told her, Eurokatt was moved to tears, saying "I'm beginning to get recognied by Eurovision officials." Awww, bless. Don'...

THE AL WELCH EXPERIENCE No.1 Hello, this is the part of the blog, where I review what's neat and what's not neat.# Today, I would like to talk you about newspapers that doesn't make sense. First of all, the Daily Sport. The Daily Sport was first launched in 1991, contents of softcore models and images, and the self-centred yellow journalism with an emphasis on celebrites, bad behaviour and toilet humor. Most people (especially older women) find this paper quite disgusting, some find it was quite okay, but, to me, it is probaly one of the most BORING newspapers I've ever heard in my life. Lord, it's so boring, headlines that never make sense. Honestly, they have never focus on real news, political views and world affairs, even though former Lib Dem MP, Lembit Opik, did a weekly political column in 2008. Also, the images are quite distributing to some readers. Those softcore pictures show women showing off naked breasts, but not only breasts, but also, boobs, tits, j...

Hello, everyone! First off, it's funfair time! (let's go of balloon) That was funfair time, and now... the newsflush. People are being unaware of wondering what happening to the next issue of Root Beers. Well, to be honest, I'm trying to keep tracks on what was going on. I'm stuck for any ideas for the next few comics, I can't think which fan art goes next, and I'm about to do the graphic novel for my Final Major Project. If you're familiar with acornyms, it's F. M. P. Anyway, I'm planning a few ideas for comics, fan art, and other stuff that was SUPPOSED to be bloody mentioned in the Announcement bit. Ooooooh, almost let my senstive side go, there. So, until then, this is Al Welch, for BBC South Today, Southampton.

Hello, again. I'm sorting out what to do in this art world. Here are the reasons. I have just opened a new merchandise shop, powered by CafePress. This is the link to the store. It's not quite ready, yet. Still, sorting out bits. There are maybe delays, due to my weekend in Jersey with the local gymnastics club, from Friday 16th - Sunday 18th March and a weekend in Bristol with the Hampshire Hurricanes tag rugby group from Friday 25th - Sunday 27th May. Still planning ideas for a graphic novel, for my Final Major Project at college. May get sick and tired of "The Chicken Song" by Spitting Image. I shall plan gift art carefully, plan a mini cheeky series (FurAffinity only) and giving the archive a major boost to the website. (If I may so.) So, until the next one, have a nice month and shop at that website, NOW!

Ally Bobcat would like to wish you all a Happy Leap Year. (No pun intended, please.) Don't worry. He's survived.

Wacky promotion. MOAR SOAP PLEASE! Apologies to Procter and Gamble.

After a month and a half, it is finally ready. The announcement of the year 2012!

Good evening. I apologize for delaying my journal/blog on this website. Reason? Because I haven't got the time to think of one. I was hoping to do Root Beers #061 by tomorrow night, except Fur Affinity. Apparently, at the top of the page, the notice said: "We have a planned outage Feb 11-12th, 2012 while we make upgrades to our SQL server and perform other scheduled maintenance to improve performance. Please plan accordingly." I didn't even notice that it was quite urgent, but let's worry about it, later. Also, there's bad news and good news about "Zirkus Kapers". The bad news is that "Zirkus Kapers" won't be on this year. But, the good news is I'm putting it into a graphic novel I'm planning, hopefully to be done, later on. Finally, if I have more time drawing, and LESS TIME WEB SURFING, I shall be doing some furry art and gift art for friends and famous faces at the webcomic business. Anyway, must dash. I got a window at three...

As you know, this comic was to be my birthday comic, due to be released on January 17th - which is my birthday. Unfortunealy, due to college work and spare time problems during that time, I keep on delaying this for unknown purposes. But of enough of that, this comic is a self-direct parody of "28-Up" paordy sketch from Spitting Image,prehaps the greatest adult puppet show in Europe. The parody sketch, featuring David Owen, was a parody of ITV's best shows, the "Up" programmes. The next series, "56 Up", will be on ITV1 in May 2012. Enjoy this and wish me any (belated) birthday wishes. Thanks!

Hello, it is nice to back on this blog. I'm very sorry that I've forgotten to update my blog since October 2010. Let's hope it'll never happen again, okay? Good --Al
