In the Shadows

Right, my tentative PDF project now has an equally tentative title: Shadows and Reflections. Contents? Arts, media, films, etc. Plus, hopefully, some original comic strips.

I’d like to do at least one issue and see what happens from there. A handful of people are involved, in theory, including my old pal Paul Gravett (now that he’s almost finished his book on Manga!), but it’s early days and we need more contributors on board.

I’m also doing a mini-comic just for the fun of it. The (again) tentative title is Day in the Life. I scrawled a script and drew three panels yesterday. If you don’t know what a mini-comic is: it’s a format that is roughly half A5 size with a single panel per page. It’s a good method for publishing very short stories dirt cheap. I did one about ten years ago, but it was crap! I fancied having another go, so what the hell.

In the Shadows

(The illo is the first ‘story’ panel. It’s a hell of a lot less philosophical than this suggests… in fact, I hope it would be taken as incredibly silly.)

Hey, I’m trying to do interesting things! I haven’t a clue where my muse is, but I think I might stumble on it one of these days.

  1. Hello – I got here by clicking the random thingy in my blogging brits link (first time I’ve clicked it). I love this panel – have you thought about publishing comics on your blog?

  2. Yeah, once it’s finished and I’ve had the immense fun of making it a ‘slick’ photocopied production, I’ll most likely put it on this site somewhere.

    I’ve toyed with the idea of doing visual stuff specifically for the Web, but I’m not very prolific, so we’ll see what happens.
