WASP

 

WASP stands for Webcomic Artist Swap Project

You can find out more about the project and read all the comics here

 

I had the oppertunity to draw a Blake Sinclair comic written by Sarah Burgess. You can read the full 5 page comic here.

I then got to write a story which was passed to Francesca Dare to illustrate. You can read the full comic here.

Autumn Events

These photos are from London MCM Expo and the Birmingham Zine Festival's Independent Publishing Fair. Thanks to everyone who bought our comics and zines and said hi. I took the photos so Sarah Fogg from Inspired Comics Collective is in both pictures. The next event we'll be at is Thought Bubble and you'll be able to find us on table 162 in New Dock Hall.

I recently finished and printed my webcomic, Jumping The Shark. (The sequel to Best Day Ever) The printed version contains a bonus comic and some extra illustrations in the back pages. Both books are already available from my Etsy shop.

April and early May 2012

In April I ordered a new print run of Best Day Ever and created a new free sticker to go with the book. The sequel webcomic story Jumping The Shark is still updating every Friday.

 

The new Inspired Comics anthology. Eat Me! has been printed on time for the Bristol Comics Show. This is the first preview page of my comic contribution. For more previews and development work visit our blog. 

Anthology Cover Illustration is by Sarah Fogg

Free Mini Comics

This is a free mini comic I created to hand out at Thought Bubble 2011. We had a great time at the event on the Inspired Comics table. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of our table, we had such a massive variety of stuff this year. It was really great seeing people again and I hope I can go again next year :)

The comic characters are from my Jumping the Shark webcomic 

Best Day Ever & Jumping The Shark

 

jumpingtheshark.smackjeeves.com

I launched a new site to host two short stories together because previously it wasn't clear how to navigate the old webcomic site. I have also drawn extra character profiles and put extras dotted about the site.

I had fun at the Orbital Comics Self-portrait Show Private View last weekend. I forgot to take photos but Sarah McIntyre did a great blog post full of photos if you're interested. The portraits will be up until 15th October 2011.

Jumping the Shark

Jumping the Shark is the latest webcomic short story to be uploaded weekly on Instant Comics. It's a follow up to a previous story, Best Day Ever. I have printed copies of Best Day Ever which I have been selling at comics events, shops and my Etsy shop. Hopefully I will be able to print this new comic at some point during 2012.

These are my designs for some new characters and slight changes to the original cast such as weight change and hair cuts.

Best Day Ever, Cat and Mouse

I'm getting a new cover on the 4th print run of one of my comics. Best Day Ever was a weekly webcomic I worked on around a year ago. You can still read it online or buy it from my Etsy Shop.

I'd really love to do more with these homage characters Mouse and Cat. It would give me a change to do some semi-biographical comics without directly drawing myself. People seem to really enjoy the references that come up when I draw them. If you are the same age as me you might spot the Digimon the Movie references in this one. (or to the film Summer Wars if you aren't from that specific generation. I'm a big fan of Mamoru Hosoda's work.)

Bristol SP Expo 2011

Inspired Comics had a table at Bristol Small Press Expo this year. We've been taking anthologies to comics events since 2008 and we had a good selection of new books this time. I took Best Day Ever, Giant Rhinos In Space Dummy Books and Alien Rendez-Vous. Thank you to anyone who bought stuff from the table at the weekend

I'm selling a limited amount of these Giant Rhinos In Space Dummy Books because I printed more than I needed for university. The book contains chapter 1 of a graphic novel length story and character sheets and development work in the back. Each book comes with a sketch and available online here.
