School Magazine Artwork – Jun-Nov 2024

Posted onLeave a comment

All corrections for my PhD are done, so now I’m just waiting for graduation. I’ve also finished a short story I’m working on for a major publisher, which will be up in January 22nd, 2025. It will have to go live on their website first, which I will then post a link to.

Below are some artwork I did for School Magazine in the second half of 2024. I’ve also submitted a short comic story to them co-written by my niece, which was rejected. I have the first page here.

“Retreat”, a poem by Beverly McLoughland for Orbit Magazine, July 2024

“Control Z”, a play by Sue Murray for Orbit Magazine, September 2024

“Columbine Magic Trick”, a short story by Peter Friend for Blast Off! Magazine, October 2024

“The Last Wish”, a short comic by Queenie Chan & Kelly Tao.
This was a rejected pitch for School Magazine in late 2024.

Sample Art from “The Dreaming” v4

Posted on

Here are some sample art from the first 20 pages of “The Dreaming” v4. It’s a supernatural-thriller-romance story, yes, it has very strong psychological-horror romance elements.

Now that I’ve let it sit for a bit and done some editing, it’s 250 pages, but that may change after I lay down the pages for v5 and look at the thing as a whole. As you can see, I’m going all-out with the art!

School Magazine Artwork – Jan-May 2024

Posted on

I finally finished my PhD, and was exhausted for the month of May. My PhD is going to be marked and there may be a tonne of corrections, so it’s not over yet.

I did do a brief 1-hour talk about my topic of “Capitalism, Creative Labour and Webtoons“, which you can see here at http://www.queeniechan.com/phd. I’ll put it out there more once I get it marked and I’m officially a doctorate!

On the other hand, I’ve realised I’ve yet to upload my art for School Magazine this year! Can’t believe I forgot, but I had fun doing all of these!

“Aliens at the Window”, a short story by Katie Aaron for TouchDown Magazine, April 2024
I was inspired by a certain popular manga for this story, I just couldn’t resist…

Every year, I’ve been part of the ACE! exhibition, which is an Australian Comics Exhibition held in partnership with the Australian Consulate-General. It’s organised by Illustrate Your Life, and in previous years, it’s been held in Thailand, Germany and Poland. This year, it’s held in Chengdu in China, at the Fang Suo Commune @ 27th Jan ~ 29th Feb 2024 with free entry.

Here are some photos of my artwork, and of the exhibition hall for 2024. Thanks to Jakub from Illustrate Your Life for organising this, and for the fantastic photos!
