In September, after what felt like a lifetime, I finished my Masters in Sequential Illustration.
Here’s the zine I made for my final out. An autoethnographic comic about my personal experience with punk and queer identity.
Here’s the first 10 pages of my upcoming comic STINKHORN CITY BATTLE.
This has been a project I’ve been chipping away at on and off for over a decade but I’ve decided I’m going to take everything I’ve ever made for it, smoosh it together and create something new.
Enjoy!
Came up with these characters sorta by accident during a workshop at uni.
I’d like to use them for something. I’m just not sure what yet.
A comic about maybe having autism and definitely having dyspraxia.
A short memoir comic about vegan punks in a squat.
Here’s a comic about a Beetroot Person in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that I drew while tabling at a very quiet January convention.
Recently I’ve been experimenting with an idea for the book I’m working on for my MA.
The idea, in its current state, is a story revolving around a round a group of friends (who happen to be animals) exploring they’re local punk scene together. Maybe they form a band? I dunno. Either the way the book will heavily feature the crossover between punk and queer culture and sitting outside of societal norms.
Visually I’m playing around with a collage look, using photos printed on drafting film layered on top of one another. Over the next few weeks I’ll be working on a comic to decide how viable that is for a long form project.
Could I just replicate that effect on photoshop? Of course. But that’s not nearly as fun and I want to be more hands on with this project rather than it being solely screen based.
In September I started my MA in Sequential Design and Illustration. One of the first projects I was tasked with was creating a visual narrative in response to Ursula K Le Guin’s essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. The final pages for this comic were produced in a week and looking at it now I’m not really sure how I managed to do that.
