Learning Comics

Paul Gravvett's recent interview with Dan Berry on comics based courses in higher education fails to mention my alma mater's Sequential Illustration degree course.

It then goes on to give a list of things that Berry believes will make the course an excellent start for students interested in comics and graphic novels.

All of which my course lacked (and most of which we requested repeatedly).

The refund invoice is in the post.

Get on your feet soldier!

Be a man even if you're a 12-year-old girl I drew for years at a time without owning a desk. Be ready to draw anywhere, bust out your best work anytime. The best thing about comics is that it takes no money -- you could steal pens and paper and make the best comic ever sitting on a dumpster. This is the fucking trenches -- if I see you cry, I'll knife you myself.

Happy Cosmonautics Day!

Da!

Buh-buh-buh-Bristol 2008

Yes in a just month's time me and the gang will be at The Bristol Comics Convention. As nothing particularly horrific happened last time we'll have a table again where you'll be able to buy our stuff, if any of them have any stuff this year that is, you'll have to ask them -

Chris G
Andy Silver
Zak Symmonds-Hurn
Rob 'The Rascal' Garrett

I'll have copies of my new rambling, incoherent, and more than a little whiny mini-comic Alpha Waves for sale (provided I finish it in time) and, in the unlikely event that someone email's me requesting a particular piece, some prints.

So come and say hi before moving onto Kate and Paul's table to steal their smarties.

His name's, Doom

"Never again will mortal eyes gaze upon the hideous countenance of Victor Von Doom!

"From this moment on there is no Victor Von Doom! He has vanished... along with the handsome face he once possesed! But in his place, there shall be another...

"Wiser... Stronger! More brilliant, more powerful then ever before!!

"From this moment on I shall be known as... Doctor Doom!"

Life with Friends: Short Story

Over on his blog, TwoFold Comics editor Adam Williams has the short story prequel I drew a little while back to the Life with Friends series.

I'm not completey sure what's going on with the actual series at the moment but there's some design work I did here.
