A second strip on Somnambulations. Again Illustrated by Robbie and looking great.
The original script for this was accepted by the now defunct Wasted Magazine. It never got published in time so it is great to see it here.

Animal Magic Tricks on Somnambulations

I was writing a comic book series for Wasted Magazine. This was a quarterly magazine published by Bad Press. Several months ago Bad Press went into liquidation and stop publishing. Bad Press only published 1 strip, but I had written 7.
The excellent Ronnie Tucker Illustrated the stories and we were looking forward to seeing more Animal Magic Tricks in print.
Since Bad Press went into liquidation I contacted Ronnie to see if he wanted to carry on the series as a web comic.
He suggested we host it over at his current web comic Somnabulations. At the moment Animal Magic Tricks is a guest strip over there.
I’ve put a link to the 1st strip below. More issues will come soon.
I’m glad that the strip is seeing the light of day. Ronnie’s artwork is fantastic and the series has given me a chance to practice my storytelling. Enjoy!!!

Developing Illustration

I’ve pretty much been on holiday for the past week or so. I’ve been to see a few things at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and I done a Summer School class at the Edinburgh College of Art – Developing Illustration.
I undertook a project where I drew 6 images inspired by a Poem – The Fog by FR McCreary. I’ll post up the images later. The weeks was excellent, where most of the time was spent trying new techniques and experimenting to bring out the story of the poem.
Here is one of the images I created.
