30/08/10 mothman vs zombies


So, I planned to update this blog frequently, say once a week or so, but that's already fallen through (as expected) as I seem to have been too busy doing things rather than remembering to blog/archive them!

It's been a busy month with graduation and house movings, and my productivity has fluctuated massively, but the main project of late has been a contribution for the Liverpool 2010 Biennial.

It's a short comic book piece for Tony Knox's 'Mothman' project; I was asked to do a story about zombies taking over Liverpool, and the Mothman's failed attempts at heroism.

Here's the first two (of four) pages. The full comic will be available, for free, at selected galleries and shops across Liverpool during the festival, and it contains contributions from about 4 other artists/art groups, too.



Parts of it were really fun to do, but it was odd attempting a comic book format and having to work a clear narrative into the images.
I also think i need to take a break from zombie type drawings; as fun as they are its all i seem to get asked for...time for something a little less grim!

Next up... Twigs and Apples Issue 3, and hopefully some solo zine/card stuff.
