WebComic – Preview – Comic Book Poems
In the past I have mentioned that I have been working on a Web Comic. Although this has been on the back burner for a while I am currently doing some work on it and I am hoping to launch it early 2014. Several comics are already finished and ready to be published and a basic website has been designed.
Below is another preview – an unlettered page from a comic that has the working title of ‘Harder They Come’.
Noise Project – Week 2 – The Little Things
Below is a sample (not the full image) from my response to Week 2 of the Noise Intercepted project. More on this at my previous blog post. The Noise Project is run by the Toronto based arts organsiation – Labspace Studio.
For this image I followed the brief below. The title of the week’s challenge was ‘The Little Things’.
NOISE CHALLENGE #2: THE LITTLE THINGS
This week spend some time paying attention to the little things…. the sounds that you tend to ignore and the seemingly insignificant noises that you take for granted. You have 1 week to listen, identify and select one “insignificant” sound and transform it into something “significant.”
My full response to the brief can be found here.
Exhibition and Publication in New Comic Book – The Great Tree
I will soon have a short 2 page exhibited and published in a magazine for Adventures in Comics.

The theme was on ‘The Great Tree’ and my story can be viewed at the Adventures in Comics website and also below. I took inspiration from poetry and may add this to my poetry web comic.
The exhibition is in Margate at the Pie Factory – 5 Broad Street – CT9 1EU.
It runs from 21-24 February.
