…I also entered the Cartoon Network’s ‘Stop Cellphone Bullying!’ comic maker competition.
I dialed down my web presence to a minimum for the past year or so while I finished off Walk Don’t Run and James-Teacher (both out soon) and got into the swing of my own book. At this point, I feel like I’ve got enough of a solid foundation beneath me to start putting things out on the net again. I really miss the fun and camaraderie of being a guy who puts cool drawings on the internet! I’m going to do that a lot more from now on. I’ll do maybe 3-4 cool things on here a month, and generally be around!
I’m also going to be at the Thought Bubble con in Leeds this November. Aaaand I gave my website a temporary overhaul, so it’s got links to all the comics I did while I was building myself up to starting Zygote. You know, between the ages of 16 and 25, I made maybe 30 pages of comics. Mostly, I was training as an animator, and then working in animation. In the past couple of years, I’ve made around 400. So- I’ve been training myself, and trying to build some confidence. I still don’t feel like I know what I’m doing! But, gosh, here goes nothing. I’ve finished a whole graphic novel and I have two books coming out in the next three months- plus I am getting actual dough to do this one right now- so I guess I can CALL myself a comic book artist, at least.
Like I said, I’ve missed you guys! (“You guys” = the imaginary readership I address every time I write a blog post). I ammmmm also going to be crossposting this stuff across all the social networks I belong to. So! No-one gets left behind. I’m looking forward to reaching out to people again.
