Long time no see! I've been busy these past weeks with an on slaught of work related things, so here are some images from the various work I've been doing, since I havent had time to produce any personal work!
A sample of the science comics I've been doing. I'm churning through 10 of these a week, its taking up most of my working time!
A comic for the company Prakdial, you can guess what they do for a living, how much fun they must have!
And this is a simple image I did recently for some flyers advertising my webcomic. I was giving them out at Comiket, a wonderful comic convention in London at which I shared a table with two other lovely artists.
My schedual is running more smoothly now, so hopefully next week I'll be back to updating regulary and weekly. Until next time!
This week I've been working on more comics for the children's sciene website, Science With Me. It's been very fun, and you can check out the website, along with many images from me here.
My blog posts have been a bit delayed, as I was having issues posting images, but that seems to of been fixed now!
Here are two select images from my sketchbooks. I go through one every two months or so, I doodle a lot, but hardly ever finish any of the tons of images I have in my books. So I've started picking out a few select images and making them a little more finished. I thought I'd share them here too!
The top image is of the character Sebastian Flyte, from the wonderful (and muchos reccomended) book, Brideshead Revisited. The bottom image is a quick observational drawing I did when I went to St Pauls in the summer last year.
Over the last week I've been working on a rather cute illustration job for the blog section of a children's science website, Science With Me. Go check it out!
Its always fun trying to draw cartoon versions of real people and simplify them, I wanted to make everything especially simple and light hearted for these articles.
Last year I entered the annual comic competition 'Manga Jiman', which is ran by the Japanese Embassy.
Much to my delight and surprise, I discovered that I was one of the shortlisted winners (11 in total ) and last Friday I went to the competiton ceremony, where I had so much fun catching up with fellow comic artists, and reading all the other wonderful winning entries.
Anyway, all the winning short comics are being exhibited from now until the end of Feburary at the Japanese Embassy in London. If you have the chance please go down there and have a read!
The exhibition is free and is open from 9:30 - 5:30 on weekdays. You can get more information on the winning entry, a list of the winners, and the adress of the Embassy (pretty much at the bottom of Picadilly Circus, or up the road from Buckingham Palace!)
here.
I can't post my short online until the exhibition is over, so I've cropped two images from the comic as a preview. I'm sure my comic looks better in print anyway! As you can see, my short was set in WW1. I actually based it around a real person, George Butterworth, who is one of my favourite composers and folk song collectors, and a soldier who died during the Great War.
So if you get a chance, get down there and have a read! I enjoyed all the winning entries for different reasons, there is a great variety of artists and stories, which is always lovely to see :)
