Afternoon all!
My
first A4 work, a fantasy graphic novel created in collaborated with manga
artist and writer W. Smith, has been printed - well, seven copies at this
financial stage! - and I'll be taking them out for their first spin at the Art
Boot Sale in Netwon Ferrers, Devon, tomorrow. Sales start from 1pm, so why not
pop down for a nibble then put your feet up with some reading material? ;)
If
more novelty stuff is your idea, you're also in luck - to commemorate this
release I've been making 3D framed artwork! You can
see one in the photos below, which uses artwork on under and on the glass to
create a layered effect. Every thing on my stall will be under £5 each,
including the super-exciting bubble wrap for protecting the frames! I don't
know about you, but me and bubble wrap... well... pop. :D
I would also like to use
this post to thank Lloyd and Esther, at SPS/Royal Wootton Bassett Stationery in
my hometown, for helping me print these independently. I used to go in there with
my cartoons and stare at pens when I was eight, and since then I've gone back
through the years to get more pens, sketchbooks, and finally have my work
printed using their copying services. Their support and encouragement has been
stellar, so not to thank them would be an abomination! Bless everyone at the
shop, you've made long held aspirations materialise, from age eight to
twenty-one!
I've chucked in the poster
advertising the Newton Ferrers sale tomorrow - look forward to seeing people
there! :)
