Little post from my Uni project

Here are some example thumbnail pages from my Multiple Sclerosis project for Uni. These thumbnails are A4 and due to time restraints on the project will become the Pencils too hahaha That way I can just tidy them up in the inking stages. The backgrounds or lack of has a reason which I shall show when I have done the final first page.

Look forward to more and thanks again for reading xD

Thought Bubble and Nelson.

THOUGHT BUBBLE 2011

So I ended up at Thought Bubble in Leeds this year. Was my first time and I have to say I enjoyed it xD What I love is the different types of people I am getting to know and the variety of comics that are slowly cropping up at these events. Slowly I am starting to feel more and more part of the comic community. Was much quieter at TB2011 that MCM is which was a nice change and very much refreshing. The after party was very much amusing, someone described it as like being a school disco and I was so shocked at how accurate that description was xD Wasn't a bad thing as once the music started everyone was on that dancefloor dancing away! Was so much fun! I ended up spending the sunday buying stuff and spending most of the day in Leeds itself..... on more comics and hot chocolate. It's such a lovely city.

Here are some pics from TB2011.

NELSON!!!!!!!!

Now this is what I picked up at TB2011. This has been promoted everywhere. BlankSlate's Nelson! For those who do not know NELSON is a graphic novel composed of 52 of the the UK's finest Comickers.

It's such a charming little story and as I was reading it I found myself remembering the events and feeling a lot for the characters. Partly because Nel, the main character spends alot of her adult life in the era I grew up in. Although at points I did find myself feeling old hahahaha 

I have a such a fondness for this book. I think it is due to what I said earlier. Even though I have not sold a comic at Expo or yet can call myself a Pro. Due to meeting new comickers and slowly integrating myself into the Comic society I feel a sort of admiration and proudness of this book. It shows what comics can become and how they can get people together. It's such a beautiful book and I really suggest people read it. 

I am proud to call myself a Comicker when I see stuff like this.

Here is a list of all my fav artwork within the book.
