Recent stuff! Orwell, DROWSE and workshops
Hello! I realise I haven’t written here for a while. So like, what have I be doing? Well…
Sean and I have been working hard to promote our Orwell adaptation, Such, Such Were the Joys. There have been various workshops and talks, including a lovely book launch evening with the Orwell Society, where we were introduced by Orwell’s son, Richard Blair! I also got to speak about our friend George at the recent Street Noise Draw The Line UK book launch at the Cartoon Museum in London. You can always follow me on Twitter to get the latest on these events as they happen.
I’ve also been working on another project with Sean and economist Michael Albert called Next American Revolution - can’t tell you much more than that for now but here is a peek at one of the pages…
Alongside that, I’ve been illustrating the lo-fi supernatural crime series DROWSE, with Frank Verano, Nick Klinger, Taylor Esposito and Kevin Ketner. We’re really proud of what we’ve achieved so far and the amazing thing is that you can read it all online for FREE! I’d love to hear what you think. Chapter 4 Part 2 is currently in the works and will also be available to read soon. It’s the final instalment of the current story arc - so expect some dramatic scenes!
Finally, I had a lovely afternoon recently running a comics workshop at The Comic Shop, Crawley for Creative Crawley and their Enliven/’Give it a Go’ series of events. Got to meet so many talented young artists from the local area! A massive thank you to Louise and Sam from Creative Crawley, the WORDfest Crawley team, the fantastic staff at The Comic Shop and all the lovely participants!
Here is a sample of some of the fantastic works created:
