Gosh, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Things have been pretty crazy here, and I’ll be talking a bit more about some of the reasons in time… I’m hoping to start using this place a lot more in the future so keep an ear out.
What have I been doing? Well, some of the big ones:
- Manchester! I just moved back to Manchester, with a posse of wonderful pencil-slingers and all round cool types, Mark Penman, Katie Hanratty and Antony Higginson. Also puts me right in range of my good buddy Andrew Tunney. I’m acting as his assistant/webmonkey/partner in crime on a few things, one of which should be making a sneaky appearance at ThoughtBubble con next month…Good times.
- Books! One of the big reason I dropped off the face of the planet this summer is at the same time as moving, I was asked by the guys at Collins Big Cat to make them a reluctant readers comic. It’s called “In the Game”, and I’ll have more details for you once I have them.
- Shooting Roots! It’s been an exciting one, the first year of SR’s core superteam of Cal, Maia and Steph running the show… and as far as I’ve seen it’s gone great. It was also the first year of running Craft on the scale we’ve done, and the first time running it at ALL at Sidmouth. I had a fantastic time running it, the kids made some amazing props and puppets and it was all round goodness. And there are even more super exciting folk arts shenanigans on the horizon…
- Filmage! I’ve been working with an awesome photographer, Crash Taylor to script and storyboard some horror shorts. More info on that as the projects go further…
- Other Stuff! I’ve been doing some fun design stuff in the Folk community again, including a logo and flyer for the Street Dance The Maypole project, and the cover for the Albion Band reboots’ EP “Fighting Room”. I’m hoping to start work on their site later in the year, and I’ve also been working on a site for the lovely Miss Kirsty Bromley.
So generally, it’s been a really exciting few months, and should keep being awesome.
More news coming soon! Have a good one.
