Today is my annual day to tidy up my studio! There is, I admit, a case to be made for making it a slightly more regular occurrence. Anyway, I don't want to do it, so you - you lucky people - get a blog post instead!
I've been flat out with work lately, getting everything together for the Mo-bot High book. I'm really happy with how it's all shaping up, can't wait for you guys to see it. Will post about it all a bit nearer the time, and show you some of what I've been up to...
Anyway! Couple of things I've been meaning to mention.
Firstly: Hashtag Funnies! I can only apologise to anyone who was enjoying these (and I include myself in that) for their complete disappearance - it's just down to workload, really. They were always supposed to be just a quick warm-up exercise, but I always ended up going over the allotted hour once you factored in the time for lettering, saving files, uploading etc, and I just really haven't got that kind of wiggle room at the moment. I do intend to get back to them - or something similar - as I kind of discovered I really, really enjoy doing the gag-strip-a-day thing. I've got half a notion to print a bunch of them off as a mini-comic at some point, so look for that in 2010! Mmmmaybe?
Secondly: while I often mention / whine about how busy I am with work, it occurred to me that I haven't actually blogged anything work-related in like a year, so thought I'd chuck a few sample pages of recent projects up on here. A lot of recent and current work is all under wraps, but here are some recently completed things that are OK to blog...
First up, here are a couple of educational maths-y comics, part of a series I've been working on for the BBC as part of their raw numbers project:
And here are some pages from a comic strip I did for a road safety mag aimed at kids starting secondary school:
And finally, continuing the public awareness theme, here are a couple of pages of 'pencils' from a comic aimed at reducing the incidence of Chronic Indigenous Disease amongst aboriginal communities in Australia:
You can't say I don't have a varied workload.
Right, and with that, these mounds of paper, unopened bank statements and printouts of old Lois Lane covers aren't going to organise themselves...
Blimey, that's a truly eclectic mix! All fabulous stuff. Especially love that panel of them all lined up in the trench with the grenade lying there - very effective. And the Maya strip took me back because I climbed almost every one of those pyramids on my honeymoon :-)
