NOWCON wrap up

Hi again peeps.

I can confirm that at NOWCON-reborn a great day was had by all.

I got to meet some new friends and catch up with some old ones.

I also seen quite possibly the best homemade  Deathstroke cosplay ever built.

Always a fan of original art I got around to asking some of the other artists there to contribute to an 'A Brigand's Tale'  jam piece.

The brief was simple. Just draw your take on any character from  'A Brigand's Tale'.

The result is below:

On the left we have a Robotic version of Malice - by the talented and mysterious man known only as 'Judd'.

Then we have a high booted version of Cheeks by Tinman Johnson, creator of the madcap Harvey the 29th series.

Next up is a buffer version of Sneakthief by Nowra's very own Heroic Master of Pens.

And lastly, a balletic Brigand (in some kind of homage to Jo Jo's bizarre adventure) by the one and only John Hanna from Midnight Runners.

There is some space on the right hand side for me to add my own touch to the piece.

What are your thoughts?

Should I make it a 5 character piece or leave it as a very classy piece of fan-art?

Let me know in the comments below...!

New stuff coming soon featuring Brigand!

Convention season starts early this year with local (for me) Geek Culture Event NOWCON making it's return after a 2 year hiatus in sunny downtown Nowra, New South Wales.

As one of the initial instigators/organisers of NOWCON way back in the day it nice to see it continuing on without any real direct input from myself.

This will be the first time I get to table the full suite of Bolt Comics stuff in my local area so I'm super excited to introduce the Bolt Comics goodness to some more locals.

I've even started dabbling into prints.

Anyone familiar with Bolt Comics or A Brigand's Tale would be well aware pin up style images and powerful cover images are the speciality of Bolt Comics CEO (and The Adventurers creator) Andrew Tribe.

I mean,just look at those Adventurers covers, gorgeous stuff! Although the back up story in issue 2 I drew is pretty rad I must admit.

As the artist for A Brigand's Tale I'm not too proud to say I struggle with the epic imagery that such things need to convey,

But you don't improve by not doing a thing so I thought I would make a print and stretch my artistic muscles.

I came up with an image I think is pretty cool and have decided to do a Limited edition print run of 25 copies to celebrate getting back to my roots at Nowcon.

Here's a sneak peek:

These will be available for sale from Nowcon onwards for $10 a piece. Any left overs will be available to purchase at Comic Gong in May this year where (the long overdue) A Brigand's Tale #2 will also be launched.

Hello 2015!

Hi all!

Well, it's been a while and though progress has been slow on many fronts, there has as least been progress.

I'm well and truly pumped for a big 2015.

BUT here's a quick recap of 2014.

May

A Brigand's Tale #1 launched at ComicGong. Missed out? No worries go here to catch up:

June
Bolt Comics tabled at Supanova Sydney. We got a chance to catch up with and meet some cool creators.
With the help of writer Michael Stoneburner we finalised the script for A Brigand's Tale #2 and it's a step up in terms of character development from the all out action of #1.

August
I was accepted as a member of the Australian Cartoonists Association.

September
Bolt Comics tabled at Oz Comic Con Sydney, got to meet even more cool local creators.
My work was included in the ACA yearbook along with the cream of Australian cartooning talent.



November
Brigand was featured in a piece for the 22 panels exhibition held a Kinokuniya Sydney.

December
Almost completed all the artwork for A Brigand's Tale #2

2015 is off to a bang with Brigand fan art being posted by none other than Aus comics royalty, Mr Tim McEwen of Greener Pastures fame...

2015 convention season kicks off for us in March with NOWCON in my adopted hometown of Nowra.
I'm hoping to get A Brigands Tale #2 out by then if I can pull my finger out.
As far as I know there are still places available at artist alley, and it is free to table there!

Hit up nowconinfo@gmail.com for details if interested.

I'm committing to blogging weekly for the rest of the year as I will have some cool stuff to share so stay tuned!
