Zombie Paper

Had a go at making the human Zombeast from Seth and Ghost. I'm not sure it was entirely successful but it looks ok.

Also here's a bonus panda that I made for a friend who has a slight obsession with them.

As usual, thanks to Adam at Darkmook for the template.

Thought Bubble

It was Thought Bubble this weekend, the amazing comics convention/festival that my friend Lisa Wood is the director of. I have volunteered at each and every one of them so far and this year was no exception. As usual the weekend was fun and exhausting, I met some great creators that I admire and respect and picked up some exciting new reading material and art for my house.

But this year it was a little more special than usual.

This year I had my first two stories published by other people!

Here's photographic evidence:

I really couldn't be happier about seeing my work printed in two such fine publications (Zombre from Borderline Press and The Irregulars from Water Closet Press) or could I?

Well...maybe I could and maybe I am. Maybe I had some great news after talking to the Borderline folks. Maybe...

Also, just because it makes me laugh, here's a photo of me meeting Nicholas Gurewitch of the incomparable Perry Bible Fellowship.

Zombeasts

My submission for the Borderline Press 'Zombre' anthology is finally finished and has been approved! I am incredibly excited about this as it will be my first 'professional' work and will be appearing alongside a host of other talented folks. Obviously I can't reveal too much of the story but I will show you the first panel.

The anthology will be available in November and Borderline will have a table at the Thought Bubble festival in Leeds (the other anthology featuring my work, 'Ladies and Gentlemen', will also be launching there).

Now to get to work on my pitch for the were-creature anthology and finish chapter 2 of Ghost Foetus.

Zombeasts!

I've been hard at work for the last couple of weeks on a zombie comic for a new anthology from Borderline Press, coming sometime in November (I think). It's a new experience for me working for an editor, getting story and art approved and, perhaps most of all, working in colour. I've been really pleased with how it's gone so far and wanted to share a tiny preview of what it will look like.

In this scene, Mayor Just-a-Brain calmly explains the situation to our heroes.

Yeah...it's not a very conventional zombie story.

Seth and Ghost

I'm finally working on a Seth and Ghost story which, if all goes well, will end up in a zombie anthology published by Borderline Press. Quite excited about the prospect of actually being published. I won't be able to post the actual story here when it's done but as a taste of what's coming, here's a few character designs and random zombie sketches.

I'm particularly pleased with Dr Trapezoid...
