New Ride

Hello all,

Wow. It took me another 6 months to get this update done. I apologise. It’s been another full year apparently. A new comic is a new comic though!

Merry Christmas all!

Thanks for reading,

Hello all.

I had a busy Saturday, and was able to draw a comic page. Fun fact, this comic was drawn in Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio) and not Adobe Photoshop. It’s the first time I have put a page together in a different programme. First time I had used Clip Studio too. I enjoyed it. The perspective tool makes life a lot easier. I think lots of people use this software, but I’m a latecomer to it.

If you haven’t tried it though, it is worth taking a look at. I paid for the basic edition, and it seems fine for what I need.

Hope all is well in your world.
Thanks for reading!

Wow.  First comic of the year, and we’re already half way through the year. Thanks to anyone who checked out the site even though not a hell of a lot has been going on. In my last comic post I said I wasn’t sure when I’d get the next one up. I was right. The day job has been keeping me busy.

This page was actually done traditionally. Just for a challenge. It ended up being a huge pain in the ass to complete. I don’t think I will be doing that again.

However, happy to finally get one in the can for 2014. Hopefully there are more to come. I’m not sure when, but I’ll do my best.

Cheers
Marc

School Of Hard Knocks

Hello!

This one took longer than I intended. Still, it’s done and it’s up.

Work is keeping me very busy, so it might be a while before the next update goes up too. I hope I can get something done quickly, but I’m trying to keep the work looking nice for all you fine people too. Hopefully it’s not going un-noticed.

Also, I will be selling comics again, this time at Royal Oak mall on the 22nd of September (which is a Sunday). The mall is pretty easy to access, and has an underground car park. I’ll be there with a few other creators from Chromacon. Arkham City Comics and Chromacon have organised this – it should be fun. If you have the day free, come on down and say “hi”.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for reading,
Marc

Hello all.

Last weekend was Auckland Zinefest. It was a lot of fun. I caught up with a lot of people. It was good times all around. If you stopped by and said “hello” – thank you very much. If you purchased a comic from me, then I hope you enjoyed it.

As always, doing an event like that is tiring, but well worth it. If you have ever thought about self publishing and would like a nice market atmosphere to sell in, I can’t recommend Zinefest enough.

This comic has been a long time coming. Glad it is finally done. On to the next one.

Hope all is well.

Thanks for reading,
Marc

To all my friends in the USA. I hope you enjoy your 4th of July!

If you are somewhere else in the world. I love you too!

Thanks for reading,

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Hello everyone.

A new comic. Hooray. I’m finally getting to show some of the “new” Christchurch in the comic now. Hopefully as time goes on I get to draw more of this stuff. I like the Re-Start mall. It’s a solid beginning to the transition down there.

That’s my favourite Public Enemy song right there by the way. Great song.

Hope all is well in your world!

Thanks for reading,

Chromacon

Swag

(Above, the great swag I got from the show)

Aotea Centre was busy and full a couple of Sundays ago. It was Mother’s Day. The sun was shining outside, on a beautiful autumn Auckland day, and people were making the most of it by getting out and enjoying it. It was also the day of the inaugural Chromacon event. An Illustration and Comic Art festival being held in the centre of town at the Aotea Centre.

As an exhibitor, I had access to the space early for setup the day prior to the show. Walking through the floor where everyone was setting up, and getting a sneak peak at what was to come, I could already tell it was going to be a great show! There were several spaces that I walked past and my jaw was dropping to the floor. It was cool to see so much talent was being assembled in the same space.

The morning finally arrived, and the early birds were in completing their booth set ups. Soon enough 9am rolled around and the show was officially under way. It probably took about an hour for some real crowds of people to start flowing through, but once the floodgates were opened, that was it. It was busy all day.

I had a great time. People were mentioning to me things like “we had no idea there was all this talent in our own country”. Which I guess just re-enforces the reason why putting on a show like Chromacon was absolutely worth doing. The public were great. I talked to a lot of really nice people. The artists were equally as great. I didn’t get as much time as I had hoped seeing all the different exhibitors, as I was basically stuck manning my own table the whole time. I did manage some quick trips as the show was coming to a close however and some good folks that were there were kind enough to stop by my table as well.

Outside of my comics, by far and away the favourite item I had for sale was my Anchorman print. I’ll throw an image of that up above this blog post. It’s available in my store if you’d like one. As are a couple of the other prints I had available.

Everyone who came through and stopped by my table. Thank you. It was wonderful to talk to everyone. All the artists who I know through social media, and met on the day, it was really great meeting you. Big thanks to Michel, who saved my butt when it came to setting up the booth, and last but not least to Allan and his team for putting on a great show! Apologies to all the artists whom I just didn’t get a chance to go see in person. Hopefully it’s an event I can add to calendar every year!

Thanks for reading,
Marc

Hey all,

Wow. A comic. This is kinda amazing. I’m actually working on the next one too. Good to be back into the swing of it.

Meanwhile the Chromacon event was amazing. I’m gonna post about it soon. Thanks to all the kind people who came by my booth and had a chat with me. It was a great day. Turn out was great. All the artists were cool. Just a very fun day.

Also worth mentioning, I still have some prints and comics left, so if you came by, saw something you liked, but didn’t purchase, you can always purchase now or in the future by visiting my store.

Thanks for reading. More comics on the way.
