A while ago, I wrote and started drawing a long-form comic, Red Smoke. The first few pages (not really safe for work, minors, or people who don’t like boobs) are on the site here.
But I’ve been reading.
And reading gives a girl… ideas.
Ideas about structure, and theme, and pacing, and characterisation… and yeah.
If I didn’t think that there was something solid in the fundamental idea of the story, I probably wouldn’t be doing this; but I do, so I’m going to park this take of the story and do a full re-write. The comic is going to end up longer, but I’ll be trying to find ways to serialise it rather than just aiming for a graphic novel(la).

So that’s what I *haven’t* been doing.

I *have* however, been working on a submission for Kuš Komicss upcoming anthology.
Just something short – 5 pp – something using the theme, as well as some of the visual storytelling ideas that Matt Huynh triggered in my brain-meats at last year’s Graphic workshops.

Of course it’s just a submission, but if it does get included, I’ll let you know. Until then, here’s a panel I’m working on!

I’m also working on having a bit of a buffer up – I’m going on holiday – a real one! – for the first time in a couple of years. I don’t know what the internet connectivity will be like, and I know I won’t have my computer/all my copics/Gavin’s Cintiq… so I want to make sure that I’m not giving you the chance to forget to read the strip. Having said that, at this stage, I’m still five strips short. I may need to ask for guest strips/art… anyone interested? Tweet at me! (Usual rules apply – anything goes, but it’s not canon unless I say so!)
