Super Spectacle

More experiemental work.

This is my final uni project; I wanted to make a sort of graphic guide to Guy Debord’s 1967 book “Society of the Spectacle”, taking critical parts from his writing and contextualising it for a contemporary audience. Above are some of the pages from the book. At this point, it’s “done”, but it is something I’d like to return to later in the year.

Sometimes it’s good to break away from the norm, and that’s what I’ve been trying to do as much as possible this year with my work.

Diary Comics: Spring 2022

Experiments from March and April for a more streamlined way to make diary comics.

Adventure Boy

Experimental piece from a month or two ago, a silent comic drawn without pencils or planning.

Between the Panels

At the end of last year, I had a little chat with fellow comics person Jack Hugh Baker.

I wanted to experiment with how to layout an interview transcript as a comic so I formatted it as if we were on a podcast.

This is also the first time I’ve tried to emulate classic comic style colouring using CMYK halftones, I enjoyed the limited colour palette, I think it’ll be something I try again in the future. Maybe in a more analogue form like risograph.

Diary Comics: Winter 2021

I’ve been sporadically making diary comics again.

Here’s a few from the last couple of months.

Defective Dectective

Here’s a comic I worked on with writer Victor Santiago earlier in the year. It was for an anthology, but here it is on my blog for you to read instead. These are some of my favourite pages from this year.

Indoors

Earlier in the year I printed a collection of a diary comics that covered October 2020 – mid January 2021.

I hadn’t printed any comics since around September 2019 as, obviously, I’d not been attending Comic Cons. I printed partly because I wanted and parly becuase I had to, these comics were for a uni project (I got an A by the way)

I was planning to keep the comics running on Instagram as something quick that I could work on everyday, but as the UK has been in a never-ending lockdown I decided to put it on hold. There’s only so many strips I can draw about myself staring out of my living room window.

But now as things are… not getting back to normal, but there’s at least the option to do something other than travel further than couple miles from home, which means I may actually have some stuff write about soon. You can follow my diary comic on IG @bozodiary if you don’t already.

Visual Dairy 2

Here’s some more visual diary entries from the past month-ish.
I’ve tried my best to avoid talking about COVID/ Lockdown etc as much as possible, as hard as it was at times.

As this is (partially) univerity work, I was asked as part of the module to draw some entries with my eyes closed and honestly, I love them.

Prom Night in Transylvania

Here’s a comic I illustrated last month for Platform Comics 10K Challenge, the whole thing was written and illustrated in 10,000 minutes, or 7 days in regular time.

Prom Night in Transylvania was written by Victor Santiago who’s work you can find over at storiesbyvictor.com and also @warpvector on Twitter and IG
