1994: Los Patéticos

I had to start an illustration today that reminded me of an old job I did ages ago... I tried to find it without joy. Instead I came across this I did back in 94. A couple of years before I became friends with computers (I had one at that stage but I hated it.)

Rhyme Rag 2008

Rhyme Rag 2008 is here! At the moment I am still developing it, but you'll be glad to know it is very well advanced.
This year I've opted for the even more complicated task of creating a full page comic with each one of the poems.
You can see here one of the panels of a beautiful poem called Morphine by Sorcha Reilly.

Adapting the poems to the comic format has been the most difficult job so far; as I didn't want to take a literal approach. I have reinterpreted the poems in a comic narrative context. This means I've used the images for some of the actions of the poems and the words for some others. While trying to keep the musicality and pace intrinsic to the poem... In other words, I am exhausted!


This week I should be posting much more stuff on the Rhyme Rag, so keep tuned!

Woodstock Explorer Pack

They are here now. The Woodstock Explorer Pack is being distributed among children visiting the Woodstock Gardens now (I'm not too sure what's the criteria as the print run was quite small.)

Hope you like it.
