Live Arts!

A combination of digital and hand drawn techniques have been used throughout this strip.

In this picture the background is digital and the characters hand drawn and comp'ed in later.

Can you recoganise which of Derry's famous arts venues Mr Maximo and Rabbit are dancing by?

All along the watch tower...

A comparison of military watchtowers on the walls over the years

Arts on the Walls

Only a truely gorgeous sunny day I took some photos of evidence of the Arts alive and well on the Walls....

LONDON -DERRY

What's in a Name? The London cross appears on the Derry Crest.

(An interesting note is that no one knows who or what the skeleton represents....)

Starting the walk -

The railings in the background are at St Augustines... I had thought this might be the first image of the comic, but I have since gone on to do two more that come before it....

3 churches

One of the first things Mr Maximo and Rabbit notice are the 3 different churches within a short space of each other on the walls

Digital drawings

I decided that the walls themselves would be the key feature of this comic and that I would focus in on buildings directly in and around them. This seemed like a good opportunity to showcase the digital work I have been developinging, working closely from my own photo reference. I added colour to a few of these to make promotional postcards for sale at 2D and other conventions....
