Student life

Again, nothing particularly original but I've been feeling rather low lately and had a tonne of other stuff to catch up on. Hopefully things will get a bit better soon because one thing for melancholia is that it's dead boring, even if you're lucky enough to get something creative out of it.

The future of airport security...

New comic for article about airport security. More of my usual style creeping in, which I'm more or less okay with, though, once again, the text rendering leaves much to be desired. You wouldn't think I was studying physics either from the way the hand luggage defies most known laws of motion (without the excuse of travelling at relativistic speed). Hopefully it will be okay for the newspaper.

First political article of the semester but unfortunately not quite right for 'The Man' (who only works with British politics anyway tbh). Getting fancy with my brand new motherlovin' brushpen: le brushpen, c'est magnifique! Wanted to try out an extreme, chiaroscuro look but only got half way. Still more successful than I thought it would be and am now getting new stylistic ideas for future comics. Next time, next time.

A new semester begins...

...and with it new comics.



And in glorious technicolour!

At the moment I'm starting work on a longer project so any storylines for 'The Only Two' will be put at rest. Of course I'll still be posting the newspaper comics here but updates on the other stuff will go up on my much neglected 'art' page.

I don't know why I love this guy so much...

... but he's becoming a bit of a regular (it's all those political articles people are writing!).



Ok, so it's not very clever but what I really wanted to say wasn't quite as punchy and frankly, no matter how much I may pretend, I'm just a shallow minded female out to get as many laughs as possible.

Aw man...

I'm not really that bothered if a cartoon gets rejected - usually they're just too long or the article has changed or something, so that's okay - it makes sense.



Assuming the reason this comic has yet to see print is to do with it's rejection rather than the editors keeping it for later, it's safe to say I'm a leeeetle disappointed it didn't make the page. Oh, well. Here it is, in all it's angry glory.

The return of the man!

I swear, I am going to do one for every political article that comes my way. I missed out on one about benefit reforms three weeks ago and reading the article in it's printed form just made me think 'Damn, I know The Man would have had something to say about this.' He also seems to be a favourite (? I don't know if that's the right word to use as I've only done 2) of the section's Editor/s.

Anyhoo. Lots of things to improve on. I added more words in the last panels from what I had in the original sketch which I wish I hadn't done. I'm getting better at consistency, but man, who would have though bald, slightly overweight men could be so hard to get right? Damn.
