Here is page one of my graphic interpretation of ‘The Burial Of The Dead‘, the first quarter of ‘The Waste Land‘ by T.S. Elliot which is featured in issue 22.1 of the Gulf Coast Literary Journal. You can check out the whole thing by picking up a copy of the magazine, which also features cover artwork by me! Click the image for a bigger view!
Out at the end of this month is issue 22.1 of Gulf Coast, a journal of literature and fine arts. This issue features a comic interpretation of The Burial of the Dead, the first quarter of The Waste Land by T.S. Elliot. I was very excited to be asked to create this 12 page interpenetration of Elliot’s poem, the whole process was fantastic fun, presenting a very interesting challenge.
I am very pleased with the results, which can be seen in the magazine (and on the cover!) or in some samples on the Gulf Coast website. The newest journal also contains an article by Sean Bishop on the growing acceptance of comic art and it’s ability to communicate complex narratives, you can read that on the website too! I will post some pages from by Burial of the Dead on this blog over the new couple of months, but if you want to see it complete and any time soon, you just have to pick up a copy of the magazine!
Life in the Mulbiry Villa was good, they spend their days farming the rich land, fishing the bountiful waters and hunting the woodland buffet!
Creeping though the deep, dark woods, our hero made his way to the oldest tree. It glowed lightly from the inside as the forest mist swirled around. Approaching the doorway-like mouth he became aware of a vast cavern deep within, a labyrinth carved out from inside the hollow tree…
I am working on a lot of stuff I can’t talk about right now, some exciting stuff coming up towards the end of the year though! Here is a shot of my desk from today, spooky!!
Ninja Mountain Podcast
Some friends of mine (Jon Hodgson, Andy Hepworth & Scott Purdy) among others, have been involved in a new podcast for artists and illustrators (primarily working in the fantasy and sci-fi field, although I think the podcast would be of interest to any freelance creative) named Ninja Mountain. They cover some great topics discussing loads of key aspects on the industry, informative for beginners and entertaining for the seasoned pros. A new episode is released every week and they have already been going for two months, so there’s a great backlog of episodes to go through if your a new listener. Check out the Ninja Mountain Scrolls blog for all the show info and links to download services (including iTunes). Enjoy!
Here is something a bit different, a comic page based on the first few lines of The Hypnotists Son by Emmy The Great.
Here is my entry for this weeks Illustration Friday, The Intricately Knitted Wagon.
