Me at work
Another go at posting an image. This time it's a cartoon of me at work. This is an experiment, an attempt at the UPS/Cal Arts cartoon style of the 'Fifties and 'Sixties. I don't actually look much like this, for one thing my head is slightly smaller in proportion to my body.

It's true about the mallet, though.

Here's an experiment at uploading an image. This is Carlos, a little chihuahua featured in a strip I did.

...actually he has a skin disease and is totally blind, but I think he's cute anyway.

first entry

Ok, here we go with the first entry of the Team Sputnik blog. My Name is Nick Miller, and I'm a cartoonist. My partner is Antonella Caputo, a writer, and we work together as Team Sputnik, once described by an American comics reviewer as "the Pan-Europeancomics creative partnership", which must refer to the fact that I'm English and Antonella is Italian. Anyway, we loved the description and added it to our website www.teamsputnik.co.uk

Antonella and I also share a home in Lancaster, North-West England, with a bunch of ungrateful cats.

This is my first go at blogging. I have to say, from reading other people's blogs, that it seems to take an unselfconscious nature to make a successful blog, whereas I am by nature shy and retiring, but never mind, I thought I'd give it a try.

In this blog I intend to post cartoons I have drawn, stuff Antonella has written, comments, moans, whinges, the occasional lame joke (if I actually possessed a sense of humour I wouldn't have become a cartoonist) or whatever seems appropriate on the day.

Actually I can see where this could be fun. I've never been any good at keeping a diary - I keep wanting to turn to the back page to see how it all works out. But a diary is private. A blog is out there in the open. People might actually read something I wrote, a daunting prospect for a shy person like me. But perhaps, with a little practice, I can get over my natural bashfulness and make a successful blog!
