The brief was to make an A2 sized comic, in the style of Beano/Beezer/Viz for Rob Hoey's birthday that was coming up, a surprise gift (quick note, Rob has received said illustration so this isn't some sort of spoiler post!). Matt wrote the script, and I went from there. It was a really fun project to do and something a bit different and (blowing my own trumpet) testing my versatility as an illustrator which is always welcomed.
I managed to get it printed off and dry mounted at the gallery I work at which was a huge convenient bonus. Some pictures:
Bit blurry this one - the illustration freshly printed.
The illustration after it's been dry mounted, it's basically a method of attaching prints and artworks to mounting surfaces by heating a shellac tissue between the mount and the print. Just so it's more durable and not as flimsy.
A closer look.
I attached a love letter for Rob a small note for Rob for any framing recommendations.
The bad boy wrapped in about a million layers of tissue paper.
Phew, been a very busy month. Very glad I had this week off work (beside the rain part). Next step I would like to do is to start to build an ACTUAL website, we'll see how that goes.
Tar Tar For Now.
