about
hello.
my name is john. i like painting things. i’m not very good at talking about myself, so this page is making me self conscious. here are some facts instead:
- i’m terrified of moths
- i drink at least 2 pints of milk a day
- when no one else is on the street, i do headphone karaoke
- my favourite thing to draw on is steam on windows
- the first coherent thing i ever drew was on a giant t shirt that i still wear (it’s of an alien)
- i have one chicken and two cats, and they’re awesome pets if you like throwing animals small distances without them getting hurt
- i could eat jammy dodgers all day for the rest of my life.
if you want to talk to me, please do, it’ll make me happy :D
send anything to john [at] zappablamma [dot] com, or just slap a comment somewhere, or you can use this newfangled formspring thing
i don’t know why i haven’t mentioned it until now, but i was interviewed on a little blog a while ago and if you want to read it that’s totally ok with me. in fact i encourage it.
not everything i make is on here, if you want to see more stuff, i keep other bits here, here and sometimes here (and my set of hourly comics here if you want to read those).
all the worthwhile things i make are on here, those other places are not so good.
everything i make here is done by hand with a combination of ink, paper, water colour paint, oil pastels, permanent markers, and occasionally charcoal. if i had any more art supplies i’d use those too.
if you want to buy something i’ve made send me an email and we’ll talk about it. i’ll probably set up a store later when i get my act together.
here’s a photo of me (left) and a dinosaur taken last year:
Your cute.
nice drawings :D
Hey mate, it’s the “civil conversation guy” from Omegle.
Love the stuff, emphasis on LOVE!!!
Maybe by fate, we’ll meet again on Omegle.
You look a tad like Thing 1 or Thing 2.
Also terrified of moths. Also butterflies. Would absolutely love to know why!
love :shades:
Yep, I am also very scared of moths.
Is there any connection between the amount of jammy dodgers you eat and the amount of milk you drink?
you would think, but i don’t think i’ve eaten a jammy dodger for about 6 months :(
hello
I like your comment box =D
I just wanted to know if you made this web site yourself. if you did (it’s a blog so i assume you did….) then can you tell me where you got this wonderful comment box from.
I need one for my website, and idk how to make it =/
plz mail me at that mail that was required but not published, so that i can know how to make a comment box, and do useful things like make a comment box.
i couldn’t choose one drawing to comment on because i liked so many! you made me laugh & now i’m in a much better mood. looking forward to mooooore
I spend too much time looking at these.
I just stumbled onto your site. It makes me smile. My best friend and I lived off jammy dodgers when we lived in London a while ago. It’s the splodge of jam in the middle that got us. Have a marvelous day. :)
I LOVE MILK
Ha ha… stumbled across this site.
You and your drawings are brilliant, had me in tears.
Cheers

What is a “jammy dodger” please?
p.s. I am an American’t. (can you tell? ;op)
it’s two sugary biscuits with jam in the middle to keep them together. tastiest thing ever created.
they look like this: http://www.gamesetwatch.com/jdodg.jpg
Try deviantart.com if you want to simplify your publishing/shipping.
i used it a long time ago, but i stopped because hate deviantart with a passion.
“I’m terrified of MONTHS”
is how I read your first fact, first time through…
“moths” is equally funny
:)
I like your stuff. I also like your hourly comics. I like the math jokes and other such logicart.
Is your hair still blue?
If so, that’s awesome :3
You should make shirts with your drawings on them. I would buy one or twelve for sure.
Best dinosaur. Of all time. All. Time.
Aha! a fellow milk lover! I knew they existed!
I really like your style and humor! I look forward to checking in often!!
Golly Moses, I love this site! You are now on the invitee list for my dream dinner party. I’ll seat you next to Steve Buscemi.
haha I like your drawings :)
They’re quite nice :D
why does google say you linked to my blog?
someone must have clicked on the link you left when you wrote a different comment; you linked there, not me.
I’m glad we have the jammy dodgers question solved . . . I was sitting here thinking they were jam-filled doughnuts.
i love john
that would be quite logical, but before i posted that comment i’d never been here before. :S
I’m glad though even if it was a weird bug because i like your comics. :D
I stumbled across one of your works on a bus stop post in south norwood, actually. One of a little elephant, on one of those adhesive stickers. I was amazed! So I decided to google you. Unfortunately, its been washed away by the british rain.
I love all of your work, I always have little giggles at your adorable drawings. You rock.
Jammy dodgers and milk are my staple foods!
oh wow, i didn’t think anyone noticed those things, i’m glad you liked it :D
i had a large stash of them but then i lost my wallet and i haven’t really got round to making any more. i might have to invest in more sticker paper
I loved it. It was so adorable, I took a picture :D
Please do. And stick them all over the place :D.
I go to that school just down the road from that bus stop, so feel free to stick stuff on it
(If you decide to invest in sticky labels) :D
Do you hate moths cos they look like zombie butterflies?
just wondering how long did it take to actully get good at drawling ur pics cuz i keep practicing and i like drawling but i just cant seem to get passed the stage where u dont no wat to drawl but u want to
Hey just found this and its made me want to put alot more effort into drawing. ( i go to a art school so i have all the drawing time i want)
-Ben
Love the art and your humor John. I too love jammy dodgers, although I didnt realize that until I looked them up. (here they call them Fruit Cremes) Thanks for the giggles and dont stop!
