What's happening with me at the moment.

So it's the home stretch.

I am coming to the end of my Degree now and it's time to work on my final comics. Also get my "The Orange Man" comic printed too!! Some of you guys will get a freebee of this xD (YAY self promo).

I also need to work on a self promotional project for Uni too which is fun. I have some ideas for this.... in more of the idea of promoting my up and coming comics.

Now here is the reason for this blog. I just want to tell you guys about the three comics I have coming up really xD So without further ado!

FOREVER12!
This is my first major project outside of Uni. I am working alongside a group of wonderful comic artists to create an anthology which we are hoping will be out for Expo in October and maybe Thought Bubble (we still need to finalize ideas and stuffs).

CONDUIT!
Conduit is my original contemporary Fantasy story, set in London and the places I grew up in. It's more of going back to what comics used to be, the wish fulfillment. It's everything I wish I was in my own little head xD This will hopefully be fully out in 2013 but I am hoping to get the first two chapters out online by Christmas to generate interest as this will be either one book or a series of books.

SCATTER8!
This should be out well before Conduit. This originally would of been Findr, a gay themed story based on my own adventures on Grindr. It has now evolved into snippets of short stories based on a set of 4 characters that their lives intermingle in certain points. This is my final Uni project and hopefully will become a set of books. The reason for the name scatter 8 is that there are 4 characters and four stories featuring the characters within the book. Now the thing is this will be snippets of their lives. Nothing extra ordinary, just a book about the most random, mundane, dramatic events in their lives. I am hoping to have a collection of these and I am so excited about this one project it'll take the priority over others.


Also if it is not too late I am hoping to get a table at Thought Bubble or one of the other Expo's so that I have a deadline for the first SCATTER8 book.

Seriously I am so excited about this...... I am off to run round and scream happily about it.

Tata for now, my lovelies!
xXx

Hey all!

Well this one won't be as long as the last blog update xD
I recently attempted the D&AD brief, but due to my inability to get things done on time I missed the deadline.

Looking back though, my "style" for the use of a better word really wouldn't fit within what D&AD look for. I've been to the D&AD exhibits a few times now and the level of work and that are so good! I feel really intimidated but it's good because I know what I need to work towards. I don't feel I am there yet but maybe after working a few years as a professional I may try the pro brief xD

At my current level I suppose, I am more suited to the comic book competitions and illustration ones like the Cheltenham awards.

So you lucky people get to see my would be entry.

Here it is.

There are loads of problems with this that I noticed when I finished hahahaha

I always find when you move a piece of artwork into a different context or view it elsewhere you notice things alot more.....

I also experimented with a different way of colouring.
