Thomas of baekdal.com has written a little article on Tribe – my thumb print work from a while back which never made it into the realm of ‘finsihed work‘ (yet!). You can read the article here, and check out some nice big versions of the drawings!
Richard Bruton of Forbidden Planet has written a lovely article on my work, primarily Whale Hunt and Turtle Guitar, which appears on the Forbidden Planet International Blog!
“Whale Hunt is another British small press comic that manages, once more, to expand the scope of what the small press is all about. Because this defies all expectations you may have about what a small press comic should be.“
A few months ago I was asked to contribute to a magazine put together by Aaron Staple. Inspire magazine looks fantastic, it features a bunch of contemporary illustration work which utilizes digital techniques and has a little interview with each artist to give a little insight into their world.
The magazine was produced as an end of degree project, hopefully Aaron will get the recognition he deserves for going out on a limb and producing a quality piece of design!
Anyway, here are my two pages upon which you can read my babble from a while ago…
NoBarcodes was fantastic fun!
I’d like to say a big HELLO! to everyone who was there. It was great to meet so many cool new people and see such a huge array of unbelievably cool comic art. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table and picked Where Grows the Bitter Herb (which sold out!), Whale Hunt, a Pocket Monster or even just a free badge and a chat!

Hello!
Since completing my first comic, Turtle Guitar, I have been working on the next tale, set in the same world, and its now time to reveal the title, and a little bit of the story!
Where Grows the Bitter Herb
Will be the title of ‘Comic Number 2′. The story follows our hero who is thrust into a wild adventure where he must traverse the untamed landscape in a quest to save his sick mother.
This is not a sequel to Turtle Guitar, and our hero is a different character entirely (though you wouldn’t know it too look at him!). The world will be familiar but you can expect to explore more of it from different perspectives as our heroes journey takes unexpected twists and turns through varied and perilous environments…
Where Grows the Bitter Herb is due out later this year, more preview content from the comic will be available right here as it progresses!
And don’t forget you can see 3 pages of this forthcoming comic (2 full colours prints and one original pen and ink page) at the Riverside Gallery, Richmond, as part of the Liveline Comics Exhibition 2008 (read below for more info!)
Liveline 2008 is now open until the 12th of April, and entry is free!
