There Are No Rules About Investment

This one comes courtesy of the excellent art stuff you can find on my parents’ blog Over the Net. So I can only assume that Charles Saatchi actually said this thing and therefore lends weight and intensity to my comic. Thanks, Charlie.

A Great Artist

Another comic based on the excellent “Big Ears” series from Over the Net. Stubbly guys say the darndest things, eh? Eh? Ha ha. They’re great.

I’m Fine

Hot and fresh out of today’s notebook drawings. Note how I’m writing this as if I draw in my notebook consistently. I think this is a subconscious ode to Magritte, whose “Les Amants I” might be my favourite painting (though this corresponds to “L’invention de la vie” more closely).

Not Interesting Enough

Another comic based on Over the Net’s Big Ears series. I’m a sucker for the art speak and the art deflation. See how I used blue panels and a blue highlight in the strip? I’m developing as an artist.

Sold Out

From the always entertaining “Big Ears” series at Over The Net. Pretty much a literal recreation with a furtive attempt to ship in a little extra with the imagery itself. Still, the words are firmly the star.

That Statue’s On A Lean

A simple comic based on a poem I wrote during my (theoretically) daily morning poetry sessions. I didn’t even cut and paste the image, I redrew it each time. Because I’m a craftsman.

Birds Talk Art

Appearing due to popular demand is this comic where birds have a clichéd conversation about art. I’m mostly into it for the attempt to do bird-appropriate speech balloons and the work with a photographic background.

Hunt and Peck

Idea cooked up with Rilla (and probably already done somewhere). And yes, birds do have special software that allows them to capitalise the ‘I’ without using the shift key – otherwise it would be even harder on them.
