GUEST ARTIST STRIPS

Thirty scripts sent out for thirty different artists...

Looking forward to seeing what comes back!

WRITING WRITING WRITING COMICS

I'm deep into writing a lot of one page comics just now. I have 30 artists lined up to draw stories for me this summer. 

I write them in a series of panels on a page. This allows me to factor in page layout, and therefore reading flow, at the writing stage.

Then, to give the artist autonomy in how they lay it out, I convert what I've written into script form.

It's an interesting process, with pros and cons.

EASTER BREAK: COMICS MAKING TIME - THE END

Today is the last day of my concentrated comics making break from work. I inked this one page story called, "An Unusual Occurrence". Considering adding coloured inks to this later.

It's been great to indulge in working on comics. Back to fitting it in when I can next week. Thanks for following along!

O.B. OUTSIDE BROADCAST PAGE 1 INKS (EASTER BREAK: COMICS MAKING TIME 6)

Inking today! I was late getting to the drawing board as there was a load of washing to hang up.

AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE (EASTER BREAK: COMICS MAKING TIME 5)

Fifth day, and fifth page pencilled. 

This one pager concerns a driving incident.

Looking forward to slapping ink on these next week.

ART OF BANK C (EASTER BREAK: COMICS MAKING TIME 4)

Pencilling a one pager today called Art of Bank C.

Doing all my pencilling this week, and will move on to inking next.

I'm unhappy with the last panel. It doesn't get across what I want it to. I'll have another look at it later.
