who are dogsounds?
Foxx Wolf
Foxx is replete with talent of unconstrained proportions: besides being a top-notch cartoonist, he can also do other stuff.
Born in Manchester, England, to an expectant world too many years ago for him to mention much, he has certainly grown to be bigger than he was. Even at school, he was known as "that boy what draws animals", but was frustrated by his 'art' teacher who thought that his work was too 'graphic design-ey' (cheer up, Tim, maybe one day the Royal Academy will lower themselves to accept one of your submissions!). He was inspired when young by the likes of Richard Scarry, Goscinny & Uderzo, Hergé, and in his later years by Art Spiegelman, Benoit Sokal, Steve Purcell ans Eric Schwartz. Some of these influences reveal themselves in his style...
His interests are mutually co-ordinated to avoid doing any significant work on any of them. Other works-in-progress (!) include albums of synth music, Sax Munro - the interactive graphic novel, and a collection of nearly-finished models scattered liberally around the house.
The idea of Sax Munro came in 1994, after a bad curry and a beer too many, and first appeared to the world in the niche publication Fifteen Nuns in '97, but this was no help whatsoever in providing any fame or money.
Foxx is happiest chowing on a Pot Noodle. However, his culinary skills don't get past the kettle, and he can't open the door on the washing machine. (He says that he was never shown how to use it).
(Oh yeah - if you're interested, none of the artwork on this site has ever seen real paper - it all lives purely in the digital domain - and involves HOURS of slaving over a graphics tablet, truly embracing a new era in the history of comic art.)

Martin Robinson
In the heady world of HTML, tea with no sugar, and soft cheeses, Martin Robinson reigns supreme.
Born to parents (apparently) in Manchester, England, the World, the Universe, behind the water pipes, Martin was, from an early age, very small. However, he eventually grew out of this. Martin was the essential 'fiddler', and also liked taking stuff to bits. As I write, he is decimating my mobile phone...
When not busy gazing up at the stars, or carrying out strange and disheartening genetic experiments, he oftentimes likes to mooch about in the domain of circuits and twiddly knobby things. Ongoing projects include: his PC (oh dear), a plasma ball of military potential, and a real, honest-to-goodness Theremin. Despite this natural knack for electronics, he still has flashbacks of defeat by a Radio Shack FM tuner kit.
Martin collapsed into the world of computers by...um, I just asked him and he doesn't know. He is self-taught in more than three different things about computing.
Contrary to any rumors, Martin is definitely NOT Dilbert. He has been seen drinking BEER, swearing, emitting noises of dubious origin, and 'unwittingly' coming into contact with various soft and fleshy parts of women of the opposite sex. He even had a Pot Noodle once.
Martin, being a highly motivated and dedicated fool, has provided all the technical 'stuff' for the site, without which this would all be a lot of pictures on my hard drive. He is available for Weddings, Parties and Barmitzvahs. But he doesn't do the balloon-dog thing.
Apparently.
