About
I want to tell stories and always have. That goal has always been something that’s shaped my life and in turn the life I live shapes the stories I desire to tell. I make sense of the events big and small that are part of the tapestry that is my twenty’s though stories that take those feelings, themes, etc and blow them up into tales about Scottish folk lore, Zombies and very pointy looking nuns that drink blood. Gothic horrors been big for me recently (see the work of Guillermo del Toro and Mike Mignola).
I’m invested in using new tools and materials to tell these stories with an example being Madeline was Biting the water colour painted comic that’s the centre piece of my degree show.
I want to tell stories till the day I die, I want to make comics for the rest of my life, I want to live my life and let it shape the art that makes me want to thrive.
Madeline was Biting cover. (watercolour and pencils)
This is the cover for my comic Madeline was Biting. The comic explores the in’s and out’s of co-dependency with a dark fantasy edge all cast in the shadow of gothic cathedrals. Madeline was Biting logo designed by Graphic design graduate Lewis Elks
Beat to beat (coloured pencils)
Part of the drawing days weekly briefs this piece was a exploration of beat by beat movements and an attempt to refamiliarize myself with pencils.
Excerpt from Madeline was Biting (water colours)
A page from Madeline was Biting, this page is some of what I feel is the best character acting in the comic with the focus being on the intimate movements.
