Half Way Through

Monday, April 7th, 2014

I reached 50 pages which I am very excited about 🙂 This is the half way mark before we are half way through the month. However I have been being naughty – I have been working on The Punk stuff when I should have been working on college stuff. But I also know I am […]

Scheduling and Workload

Sunday, April 6th, 2014

I am currently ‘coffee shopping it’ – as in I am declaring I am off to write comic books, hubby here are the kids. I’ve discovered a couple of places that do bottomless refills so have been taking advantage of this. Currently I am doing 2-4 hrs but not daily. Everytime I go I write/script/story […]

Sneaking it in

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014

I am currently working at The Cheltenham Poetry Festival but have found that I can get a little bit of scripting done between events 🙂 Today I got my total up to 10 pages over a coffee. I need to do some story arcs and structure stuff – interesting that I structure the comic books […]

And Here We Go!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014

Feeling Daunted and Expectations

Monday, March 31st, 2014

Tomorrow is the beginning of Screnzy when once again I will be scribbling away to create my comic books based in the Universe of The Punk. The Universe has now become so big and bulky and exciting and intricate that I often feel daunted by it. There are novels, short stories and flash fictions set […]

Trying out Different Styles

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

I’ve been thinking that I should try out different drawing styles to design the look of my comic book. One of the things I wanted to try was the concept of scribble pictures – so I have been experimenting with this in my visual poetry journal. I am also using them as a good way […]

Drawing Heads with Construction Lines

Monday, March 24th, 2014

Yesterday I sat and drew pencil sketches with construction lines – female manga heads and worked on the design for the first part of Revolations – Bamboozled. The comic book and my last assignment for college mean I need to remember how to draw and illustrate. So I am steadily working my way through my […]

Sunday, March 16th, 2014

I spent the few days working on the graphic novel Revolations that I started for my first ever Script Frenzy. As I’ve mentioned the kickstarter for the comic con got funded so I am now spending a year get the first ‘comic’ sorted and printed. The story is called Bamboozled. I’ve been making lists of […]
