liquid comics
I’ve been making full-colour comics like mad for the last couple weeks, and I got into this discussion with my editor about what I drink while I make them. Today I went completely stir crazy from working at home and … Continue reading
yummy loot
Here are the contents of my backpack after a couple hours at the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing in east London: I made some swaps with lovely people such as Sean Azzopardi and Cliodna and at last met David … Continue reading
red, black & di terlizzi
