Well September has been a really exciting month for me.
Since I was 5 years old I have always wanted to draw comics for a living and I've been drawing my own comics as a hobby all my life. It's somewhat of an addiction for me, something I need to do!
Over the past 7 years I've seriously focused on trying to "Break into Comics" a term that has adorned the title of many a "How to" book I've read in my time. Despite being told time and again that it can't be done, I can now say to those people IT CAN!
Along with the soon to be released Tough Guy graphic novel from Mohawk Media, I'll soon be starting on a new strip for next years Beano book. And this month I have had a short series of comic strips commissioned by one of the UK's comic institutions. What makes it even more exciting is that the strips star is a character I have created myself and will appear in a soon to be relaunched version of the title with a whole host of new stars who will appear alongside some well established old friends.
What is this comic I hear you ask...
Well I'll tell you a bit nearer the time, chortle!
Will post some new art very soon.
Good Times!

a just reward for some serious hard work and 'stickability' well done mate.
ReplyDeleteGood luck there Steve. I did a Comic Art Masterclass at Barton on Humber Ropewalk this weekend & was pleased to see your flyers there. Your class seems to have gone down well, hope it was better attended than mine (I did three, one had only 3 kids in it, the others did slightly better).

Hi Kev, Thanks for the support, I had 16 kids at my workshop but it ran throughout the whole day and was free so maybe that made a difference?
ReplyDeleteI watched your video on the Buzz Comics site the other day and was very impressed. I met you very briefly some years back at one of the comic festivals you organised in Bristol where I was selling my first small press comic.
Thanks again
Steve
