Alright! I have finally added some images optimised for use
as wallpaper! There is the Heart of Empire frontispiece at
800 by 600
resolution, or 1024
by 768, and the back cover to issue one at 800
by 600 and also at 1024
by 768. You can see what both of these will look like at the Heart
of Empire back cover thumbnail gallery. |

Sunday September 17th 2000 |
I have got the best reason in the world why the site
has not been updated for some time - I have just got married and come
back from the honeymoon! I will now start updating the site after
the best holliday I have ever had! I will be putting up some photos
soon .of the wedding and the honeymoon for friends and family. |

gallery four.
Also added a link into Walt's page on the links
page.

Thursday July 6th 2000 |
Added Bryan's first ever computer drawn image, called Winds
of Winter: it's a cover for an Italian comic out in September,
and as you'd expect is pretty amazing... at least it put's my efforts
in Photoshop to shame! Also updated image
gallery ten, the text image navigator
page and the page with a list of all
images on the entire site.
Also check out the news page for some excellent
(personal) news!

Saturday June 3rd 2000 |
Added a couple of links into the links

After far too long a break due to pressures of work I have added
thumbnail gallery 10 to the site:
this gallery has got a picture of Bryan,
Victoria and me at Comics 2000, the G-Man
picture, giant robots and
dinosaurs, the Serpents
Kiss, and an old 2000 ad cover
featuring Thoth. This meant also updating the image
navigator page, the gallery guide
page and text gallery page four.
I also added the link to the bulletin
board back to the first page of the
site.
|
|
Thursday April 27th 2000 |
Finally recovered from Comics
2000 and found time to update Bryan's biography
on the site. |
|

and updated the auction page massively. |
|
Tuesday April 11th 2000 |
Updated Textgallery 4 and the image
page navigator to reflect the additions to thumbnail
gallery nine. |
|
Monday April 10th 2000 |
Updated the auction page again, adding
in new bids, and revising the availability of other pieces as Bryan
confirms definitively whether they are available for the auction
or not. Also updated the news page. (and
also the "stop press" at the top of the homepage)
Also added thumbnail gallery nine,
including Luther and Rose,
A walk in the woods, Luther
lights the flare, the end of the
duel, Victoria as Britannia
and Luther takes off: also
updated the pregallery page and the
image navigator page.

|
Friday March 24th 2000 |
Added another page into the favourite
scenes gallery: the one from the Adventures of Luther Arkwright
where Luther throws a molotov cocktail.....
This page is so good that I am putting it into the auction
as well, because if no one else bids for it then I will make sure
that I get it!
I have also updated the main auction page
itself, and added some pages into the auction
gallery 7 and also created another new gallery - auction
gallery 8 - because number seven was getting too full. In all,
the pages created in the two new galleries are: gallery 7: Luther
flying, Page 206 of Heart of Empire,
Luther begins to meditate,
The start of the duel, The
exorcism, So what is the purpose?,
Black Tuesday starts, The
Spear of Destiny...., Luthers
descent, He sees... he sees a door,
On the disruptor base, "Miranda
was right", Luther, at one
with nature, "Flowers that
cannot bloom by day", Montpelier
at Heliopolis, Luther at Marx's
tomb., and gallery 8:Thundadoom!,
Someone's buggering with unreality!,
A streetcar named Delirium,
"I wanna go home!",
The Ziggurat of Cinnamon, "Kreeek"?!,
Chester comes down, Barberini's
walk, Victoria enters Dee's hideaway,
Nemesis: the Garden of Alien
delights, Nemesis Book
4, page 65, Nemesis Book
3, page 18, Nemesis Book
4, page 44, Nemesis book
4 page 45, Nemesis Book
4 page 64,
Also therefore updated the main gallery
guide page, the image navigator
page and also created another new text gallery page - number
4 in the series.
|
|
Tuesday March 21st 2000 |
Added a section on Chester P Hackenbush into the characters
page. |
|
Friday March 17th 2000 |
Added the page detailing what is going on in the auction
of Bryan's artwork, and also therefore updated the news
page.
Created a new thumbnail gallery - number
seven - to contain the images that are requested as part of
the auction, and also therefore updated the gallery
guide page, textgallery three
and the image navigator page.
Also updated this what's new page to be a lot smaller, showing
only stuff done in 2000, and archived off older stuff: also therefore
had to create a new what's new archive
page for all pre 1999 additions to the site.

Sunday March 3rd 2000 |
I have been working so intensely on the Heart of Empire CD-Rom
that I have not been able to update the site as much as I like...
Anyway, enough whinging and transparent attempts to get sympathy!
I have now started to create one of the features that was requested
over on the bulletin
board, that of a guided tour around
the site. Please let me know if there are any other pages on the
site that you think should also be included in the tour.

Wednesday February 23rd 2000 |
Now, it's not often I add any adverts to the site: it's usually
only allowable when users will get some tangible benefit... and
to date that has only been applicable to the bulletin
board.
However, I have now been able to add this new search feature which
I hope will be of use. I have also added this onto the homepage
of the site, and in the next major overhaul I shall place it on
the navigation bar of every page.
|
|
Tuesday February 15th 2000 |
Added some new questions to the FAQ page. |
|
Monday February 14th 2000 |
Added the answers to the questions
submitted over at the bulletin
board: this is an excellent page - IMHO - direct feedback to stuff
that people wanted to ask Bryan! Thanks folks! Thanks Bryan! |
|
Thursday February 10th 2000 |
Added Rob Brewers excellent guide
to the parallels of the Arkwright Multiverse - thanks again Rob! |
|
Sunday January 30th 2000 |
Bit of a spring cleaning day: I've mainly been adding cross-referenced
links to the bottom of pages, pointing out content that is related
to what's on each page: ... tidied up the Heart
of Empire homepage, Text Gallery 2,
the Articles homepage, the links
page, the main Biography page. I also added
a new image page into image gallery
6, which is the self
portrait of Bryan, originally published by Popimage. Also therefore
updated the image navigator page. |
|
Tuesday January 25th 2000 |
Updated the News page and also added some
more signing session details into the
interviews and conventions page. |
|
Monday January 24th 2000 |
At last! The long lost "For A Few Gallons More"
is on the site! It is a very early crossover adventure featuring Luther
Arkwright: check out the thumbnail gallery links in Thumbnail
Gallery Six, or go straight to page
one, page two, page
three or page four, or take
a look at the image page navigator. |
|
Thursday January 6th 2000 |
Well, it's finally here: I still cannot believe that we're in a
new millennium.... Anyway: I am going to blame the Christmas and
New Year break for the unusually long break in updates...
I have added a whole load of stuff to make up for it: first of
all there is new thumbnail gallery - number
six - with two pages in it so far: that of some adverts that
Bryan drew in the 70's featuring Chester P Hackenbush - check out
number one and number
two. This of course involved updating Textgallery
2, and the image page navigator
as well.
I have also added a lot of stuff that Popimage
had on their December '99 issue, and have since moved off their
site: so I volunteered to give it a good home, and they kindly agreed:
there is the review of Heart
of Empire, the review of One
Bad Rat, the review of Luther
Arkwright, the script
example of Heart of Empire 2, and the interview
with Bryan. Of course, adding all of this necessitated updating
the articles page, the Heart
of Empire homepage, the interviews
and conventions page, and the One
Bad Rat homepage.
