Had a nice lunch and chat at Walkers today. Karrie got all of us interns in to the publishing house to talk to Lizzie Spratt, the head of their graphic novel department. They told us all about comics, publishing, nipple removing, stories and book illustration.

These are my palls enjoying their gift bag! Thank you Walkers!

Yup, we did indeed visit Walkers Books publishing house today, and it was a fantastic day. Lizzie and David (iirc) gave us an exciting insight into the way Walkers commissions and creates their books, from childrens picture books to teen illustrated fiction and diverse graphic novels. We then spent the afternoon showing them our current projects, and they had great things to say with feedback for everyone’s work.

And and and they gave us Where’s Wally tote bags to take home with us :D Editors are such lovely people! Thanks Walker Books for having us.

“Take care of my heart shaped balloon won’t you?” 4 hours, Photoshop CS5. Ahhh it’s late and I have work tomorrow BUT it’s officially valentine’s day SO have some sentimental artwork. I drew this while worrying about my special someone far away, and all this love business. It’s tough but he is most definitely worth it. Also because my brain was all loose and worried for some reason my artwork loosened up too XD Ah, I dunno. Just have a good valentine’s day everyone, I’m off to bed… I have a workshop I need sleep for tomorrow =_= Haaaah.

Little prep sketch for what I’m working on tonight. Feels good to do a bit of themed illustration after a lot of comicking.

Bring on the next Jiman!

Okay you guys I am STILL shivering from the tension in that awards ceremony! We got home quite late, and Dean is out of commission, but I’m so proud of him because:

WE WON THIRD PLACE!

Probably the best Jiman night yet, and not just because we came third! The company for the evening was amazing. Everyone seemed to have their mums with them for a change which was lovely, and Shamisa and Merlin showed up to support me which was awesome. Rowan, Evelyn, Freddie, Gillian, Sarah and Rebecca were also wonderful company for the exciting announcements, we we’re all on edge and squeeking and squawking every time we moved up a place. Congratulations to Sarah, Becs and Gillian, who were also winners at the ceremony tonight! Also a quick shoutout to Lorenzo, 2nd place winner, who has now beat me two years running. Well done man, next time we shall battle it out for 1st no?!

Had a truly fantastic time. BRING ON NEXT YEAR!

I’ll post photos from the event as soon as I get my hands on them ;D

THIRD PLACE WINNARS OUT~

Holy shit, the Manga Jiman exhibition/awards ceremony is tomorrow.

I’ll see the rest of you lovely people there once I’m done freaking out, shall I?

Rachel Saunders- Alias: Baru

Fuck yeah, ‘bout time she got more exposure. Baru’s art is gorgeous, really influenced me a few years back to just loosen up and enjoy sketching, rather than being a perfectionist. Her characters are lovely, energetic and OH, don’t even get me started on the amazing colour theory deployed in these paintings >A< 

beatonna: I want you all to go read this comic, because it’s amazing, and if you haven’t heard of Boulet, now is your chance to make it right.  He’s the greatest, this comic is the best. Another fantastic comic reblog. Last time was RyanA, this time it&#8217;s Boulet. GodDAMN there are so many gorgeously fun comics being posted lately!

  1. Put your pencil down.
  2. Watch this video.
  3. Repeat after me: “I do not suck at art. Practice makes perfect. Keep going.”
  4. Have a cup of tea.
  5. Try again tomorrow

Reblogging this for pretty much everyone I know. Don’t give up. No matter what happens, keep trying your best.
That’s pretty much the only rule I live by! :)
