Masters Degree

I've gone back to education yet again heh. I'm now on an MDes in Comics and Graphic Novels at Dundee Uni. The timing of it all worked out quite well with Dekko Comics finishing up in mid August. I'm looking forward to coming out of it next year with a strong portfolio of comic work.

Three weeks in and I'm enjoying it so far. There's a good bunch of people on the course and the research is mostly all reading comics and articles, and books about comics. What's not to like? *cough*essays*cough*

It's not all writing though, there's a creative element and the final dissertation is just a 22 page comic.

I've a new blog up for this semester for a 12 page comic project. It's a bit bare bones just now, but several drafts of the script is up if anyone fancies a read.

It's looking like I'll also be doing They Came From Planet Earth issue 2 as well starting in October.

Dekko Comics

I worked on Rossie Stone's project, Dekko comics, between April and August this year and it was great.  I was doing inking and colouring for these Beano and Dandy style comics that aim to teach the school curriculum in a different way for children with Dyslexia. 

Check out the site and facebook page for more info. It's a brilliant idea and deserves all your support!

I can't share any of the pages yet but here are some of the character sketches and initial attempts to get everything the way Rossie wanted.

Leading up to Dekko I was working on a Sci Fi comic,  "They Came From Planet Earth".  It's been released online from insane comics.

Here's some panels and promo images. Interior art by moi , cover art and promo Art by other artists. 

I loved working to this gray end result. I think it's ended up looking really good. If I never have to paint another forest though...
