I’m doing a manga workshop for FCBD at Manly Library, which is at 1 Market Place, Manly. It’s on the 6th May @ 1-2pm, so drop by if you’re free that day.
I used a video I did to post the announcement. It’s actually a Clip Studio screen recording, which when sped up and drawn in a certain way, looks like limited animation. It took a bit of planning, like the previous video with the girl in kimono I posted.
Part 3 of “Beating the Loneliness Monster” is in Youkie Magazine‘s April 2023 issue, which is co-written with niece Kelly Tao. The final issue of Part 4 will be out in the July 2023 issue. Meanwhile, this issue also has a 6-page short story by my good friend Julie Ditrich (Writer) and Angie Spice (Artist) called “Fade”, which is a fantastic look at girls who get too drained when they are too much of a people pleaser.
I recently had a go at screen recording my art in Clip Studio Paint, and discovered that you can do some fun animation stuff with it. A lot of work, but fun to play with.
A mix of artwork from School Magazine, from Issues #1 and #2 in 2023. The stories are “The Visitors” by Bill Condon, “Battle of the Four Seasons” by Cara Krenn, and “The Voice in the Forest” by Karen Wasson. It’s always fantastic to be working with all these great writers!
I’ve been doing a fair amount of School Magazine artwork for the year of 2021-2022, and apart from my previous posts for 2022, this is the art I like the best from the second half of 2022. My favourite is definitely the first one, which is a Greek mythology-themed story – always good to be able to experiment artistically due to the theme of the story.
