New story: My World

‘My World’ was drawn for Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption – a book of comics put together by the remarkable Paul Gravett for UK-based charity Ctrl.Alt.Shift (who use online and traditional media and activism to work against global injustice). I initially intended to illustrate someone else’s story describing their own encounter with corruption somewhere in the world, but in the end I opted for a much more personal strip responding to the whole theme.

For more on the book, visit the Comica festival site or Ctrl.Alt.Shift (where you can buy it for only £4.99).

New story: Cornucopia (warning: contains nudity)

Monday, January 18th, 2010

This is a story I drew for The Lifted Brow – an amazing Australian journal. This issue (no.6) consists of a book and two CDs and was conceived as an Atlas of the world – with a story, poem or song for each and every country. When the editor asked me what country I’d like to do a story about, I immediately said Cornucopia, of course. He heartily approved of the idea, and so I set to work.

After I’d sent the story to The Lifted Brow, I made a couple of tiny changes to the wording of the story, but to be honest I’m not sure which version works best. So I’m posting the revised version here, and if you’re really curious, you can compare it with the version in The Lifted Brow to find the changes (and then tell me which you prefer)…

PLEASE NOTE: THIS STORY CONTAINS NUDITY AND IS POSTED HERE FOR ADULT READERS.
