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 composited in later. Can you recognise which of Derry's famous arts venues Mr Maximo and Rabbit are dancing by?

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 seems to know for sure 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
