The Site
Noggin' 0.5 is a (hopefully) continuously updating storehouse of sequential art - drawn by yours truly, Adam "LAG" Hodgson. Noggin acts as an extension of my main portfolio website LAGtheModeller.com. The front page of Noggin' 0.5 always holds the newest series or sketches. For other, older comics check the Archives.

Every piece of semi-serious sequential (and sometimes not sequential) drawings are posted here, idealy once a week every monday, but, in the real world, who knows - who cares?

The Comics

- June '04 - not finished -( 5 pages )
Rats originally started as a small storyboard for the introduction sequence to a fictional game. I then decided, since it's quite easy to do, to develop the storyboard into a comic. There is little communication or sound as the sequence was to be set to music ( Bee(160) ( master)- Korean DDR music - author unknown ). Currently the comic is drawn to the original conclusion of five pages. Since starting the original, I have developed the storyline further and the comic should now be roughly ten or twelve pages for a rounded story. When will I finish the last seven pages - no idea.

- May '01 - Sept '02 -( 16 pages )
The first comic I ever drew about a group of furry mecernaries combating Half-Life-esque things in Siberia. This is where my avatar character Noggin' first originated from. I made the first time comic-ing mistake of attempting a tale of epic proportions without knowing how or even why (heck, I've never ever seen Siberia let alone be able to write about it). This series is still online but I refuse for it to be linked or made easy to get to. The comic was confusing, badly written and badly drawn. You might want to see it, but I don't, and I'm the one that counts in arguments around here - so there.

The Author

Greetings! Blurb about the author: Me, LAG, otherwise known as Adam Winton Hodgson in full. Aged 19 years and a small time mover of pencils and big time non-attender of college. Currently I reside in London England while being two years down on the ladder of academia. Instead of stepping up the rungs I left school at the age of 16 and chased my dreams of computer games, a dream I still hold dear. I worked on Playstation 2 games as a juniour artist on the Isle of Wight. Workmates were mostly remnants of the Carmageddon team and it was a great time, even if the games we made were a bit shite. Alas my games future was premature and I didn't feel good enough, so given that education's free until I hit the big 20, I quit my job, went back into education, dropped out again, and then got back in again. Ooo err missus. If all goes to plan I'll be into university soon and taking an animation course of some kind - and then I'll be looking to games again, by which time I might be able to draw, hurrah!

If you're interested in the sort of thing: Right now I'm taking two A Levels; Chemistry and Biology. I also take part in life drawing every Friday and generally enjoy the extra time taking two subjects afford. I'm not very competent at any particular subject, or any subject for that matter.

For further information about the man of LAG you can take a stroll to the root LAGtheModeller.com, my portfolio type site.

Now for worthless details, yay! Down there on the right we have the ubiquitous author photo/drawing. In this case I opted for a photo - what with me being a lazy bum and all. Taken in September of 2004. Note I am not actually a girl.
