Here’s a little something for the process junkies out there as we take a look at how we get from script to finished page on an issue of Alex Automatic. So here’s the script page for Alex Automatic #1 Page 4. This was a relatively early script for me (I think my second ever full … More Alex Automatic: Script to Page
I’ve got a new comic coming up on Kickstarter this coming Friday July 17th that’s a bit unusual in a couple of ways. Firstly, this is one of my first times playing around in someone else’s universe, with the book coming out on Tribute Press, run by comic pals Adam Falp and Tony Esmond. Adam … More Remember Nostalgia? Great, wasn’t it?
With the House of Sweets Kickstarter going strong (thanks everyone!) I thought it might be worth having a look at one of the principal influences on how it came together. Process wise, House of Sweets coalesced a little differently to The Edge Off. The initial idea came from Iain, who sent me a mysterious drawing … More Hour of the Wolf
This week, I get to launch a Kickstarter for a new comic. Vaguely exciting if not particularly auspicious you might think, but for me, it’s a big moment in a year that most of you will know has been pretty wild for me health wise. Checks, results and tests are continuing to go well as … More Heart of Steal
So, how the hell am I? Very quick update on my dodgy health. It’s pretty much all good news. Although my kidney function remains pretty low, it’s been improving as has my general health, stamina etc. Things could dip of course, and I’m still attending weekly clinics and taking a lot of medication, but generally, … More The Goal Is To Survive…
After my last post I thought I better give you all a wee health update since the number of folk I heard from in response was staggering. Thanks so much to everyone for all the kind wishes calls and cards, it really cheered me through some very dark moments. There’s not much by way of … More Health Progress! And Comics!
Christ on the cross, am I glad to be writing this post. It might not have escaped your notice that I haven’t been posting rubbish online lately – no daft jokes, no ill advised rants, nothing about upcoming comics. That’s because I’m in the midst of the most insane experience of my life, an experience … More Greetings from the brink…
If you happen to enjoy my comics (and thank you so much if you do) you have a lot to look forward to this year. I’m currently working on six different projects covering the likes of sci-fi action, comedy drama, lo-fi dystopia and more existential chills with the brilliant Iain Laurie. There’s purpose to this. … More Hands into the clay
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? In what’s been quite a hectic year comics wise, I suppose this has been my longest period of sustained radio silence, with nothing much to report since Thought Bubble in September. The main reason for that? Utter exhaustion if I’m honest. On top of comics, my 9 to 5 … More Radio Silence Over! Coming Soon…
During a chat with other comic creators about the thorny Kickstarter issue of postage costs, Brigantia co-creator Chris Mole mentioned there was probably a blog post to be written on the enormous stresses involved in running a crowdfunding campaign. So here it is. Kickstarter (and other crowdfunding platforms) have had a wonderful, democratising effect on … More Can’t Stress It Enough…
